Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes.
5. Re-check A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of 50° to 80 °C (122 ° to 176 °F) using “HOT” range on A/
T fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
• When wiping the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free cloth.
• Firmly fix the A/T fluid level ga uge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.
6. Check A/T fluid condition and make any necessary repairs. Refer to AT-51, " Inspections Before Trouble
Diagnosis " . If the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clu
tches, bands, etc.), or if the A/T is repaired, over-
hauled, or replaced, inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator. Refer to AT-18, " A/T
Fluid Cooler Cleaning " .
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into the A/T fluid charging pipe. CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gaug e to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.

CHASSIS AND BODY MAINTENANCE
WHEELS : Rotation INFOID:0000000004683838
• Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals. Refer to MA-9 .
• Do not include the T-type spare tire when rotating tires.
CAUTION:
• When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
• Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the specification to prevent damage of disc rotor.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAKS
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LEAK S : On Board Inspection INFOID:0000000004683839
CHECKING BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
• Make sure the fluid level in the reservoir tank is within the standard (between MAX and MIN lines).
• Visually check around the reservoir tank for fluid leaks.
• If fluid level is excessively low, check brake system for fluid leaks.
• Release parking brake lever and see if brake warning lamp goes off. If not, check brake system for fluid leaks.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND LE AKS : Drain and Refill INFOID:0000000004683840
CAUTION:
• Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-14, " Fluids and Lubricants " .
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, immediately wipe th em with cloth and wash it away with water.
• Before working, disconnect connectors of ABS actua tor and electric unit (control unit) or battery
negative terminal.
1. Connect a vinyl tube to bleed valve.
2. Depress the brake pedal, loosen the bleed valve, and gradually remove the brake fluid.Wheel nut : 113 N·m (12 kg-m, 83 ft-lb) SMA829C

1. Apply recommended grease to teeth part and bush part of rack assembly, if necessary.
2. Apply recommended grease to back of rack assembly, if necessary.
3. Install inner socket to rack assembly. Torque to specified value while holding the flat portion of the rack next to the inner socket using a suitable tool.
4. Apply recommended grease to inner socket.
5. Decide on the neutral position for the rack assembly.
6. Apply recommended grease to around retainer (3), then install retainer (3), spring (4) and adjusting screw (1) to gear housing
assembly (5).
7. Apply recommended thread locking sealant to the thread (2 turns thread), and then screw in the adjusting screw (1) until it
reaches height “H” from gear housing assembly (5) measured
before disassembling.
8. Tighten lock nut to (2) the specified torque securing it to prevent adjusting screw (1) from freewheeling condition.
9. Move rack assembly 10 strokes throughout the full stroke so that the parts can fit with each other.
10. Using Tools A and B, measure rotating torque of pinion assem- bly. If the measurement is outside of the specified range, read-
just pinion rotating torque. If the measurement is outside of the
specified range for readjust, replace steering gear assembly.
11. Set dial gauge to the back of rack assembly on the pinion assembly side around the center of stroke. Measure displace-
ment of rack under torsional torque of ± 7.8 N·m (0.80 kg-m, 69
in-lb), and then check if it is within the standard value. If the
measurement is outside the standard value, adjust it again. After
the readjustment, if measurement is still outside the standard
value, replace steering gear assembly.
12. Install boot to gear housing assembly and inner socket. Rack stroke “L” : 65.0 mm (2.559 in)
