WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine and engine oil are hot.
• Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin
contact with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as
possible.
1. Warm up the engine, and check for any oil leaks.
2. Stop the engine and wait for at least 10 minutes.
3. Remove the oil drain plug and oil filler cap to drain the old oil.
4. Install a new washer on the oil drain plug, then install the oil drain plug in the oil pan.
CAUTION:
Clean the drain plug and install with a new washer.
5. Refill the engine with new specified engine oil.
CAUTION:
The refill capacity depends on th e oil temperature and drain time. Use the “Refill oil capacity” val-
ues as a reference and check the oil level using th e dipstick when filling the engine with oil.
6. Warm up the engine and check the area around the dr ain plug and oil filter for any oil leaks.
7. Stop the engine and wait for more than 10 minutes.
8. Check the oil level using the dipstick as shown. Add oil as nec- essary and install the oil filler cap.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the engine with oil.

• Check the steering gear housing for looseness, damage and oil
leakage as shown.
• Check the steering column connections for looseness.
STEERING LINKAGE
• Check the ball joint, dust cover and other component parts for looseness, wear, damage, and grease leak-
age.
Checking Power Steering Fluid and LineINFOID:0000000001606194
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
• Check the power steering fluid level with the engine off.
• Check fluid level on reservoir. Use “HOT” range at fluid tempera- tures of 50 ° to 80° C (122° to 176° F). Use “COLD” range at fluid
temperatures of 0 ° to 30° C (32° to 86° F).
CAUTION:
• Do not overfill.
• Refer to MA-12, "
Fluids and Lubricants" .
CHECKING LINES
• Check lines for improper attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose
connections, chafing, and deterioration.
Checking Axle and Suspension PartsINFOID:0000000001606195
FRONT AND REAR AXLE AND SUSPENSION PARTS
Check front and rear axle and suspension parts for excessive play, cracks, wear or other damage.
• Shake each wheel to check for excessive play.
• Rotate each wheel to check for abnormal noise.

COMBINATION METER
• Speedometer, odo/trip meter, tachometer, fuel gauge, engine coolant temperature gauge, engine oil pres-
sure gauge, voltage gauge and information display are controlled by the unified meter control unit, which is
built into the combination meter.
• Warning and indicator lamps are controlled by the unified meter control unit and by components connected directly to the combination meter.
• Digital meter is adopted for odo/trip meter.* *The record of the odometer is kept even if the battery cable is disconnected. The record of the trip meter is
erased when the battery cable is disconnected.
• Odo/trip meter segments can be checked in diagnosis mode.
• Meter/gauge can be checked in diagnosis mode.
