ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Park vehicle on a level surface, wait 10 minutes and check the engine oil level.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range (A) as shown.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
• Check engine oil for white milky appearance or excessive contamination.
• If engine oil becomes white, it is highly probable t hat it is contaminated with engine coolant. Repair or
replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following areas:
• Oil pan (upper and lower)
• Oil pan drain plug
• Oil pressure switch
• Oil filter
• Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
• Front cover
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
• Oil filter (for intake valve timing control)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yoursel f, as engine oil may be hot.
• For engine oil pressure check the transaxle should be in “ Park position” (A/T models) and (CVT models) or “Neutral position” (M/T mode ls), and apply the parking brake securely.
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Remove engine under cover. Refer to EI-15, "
Removal and Installation".
3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and remove oil pressure switch (1) from the cylinder block using suit-
able tool.
• Oil pan (lower) (2)
• : Front
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock oil pressure switch.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
Seat beltsCheck that all parts of the seat belt system (e.g. buckles, anchors, adjusters and
retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. MA-48
Accelerator pedal
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. —
Clutch pedal Make sure the pedal operates smoothly and check that it has the proper free play. CL-6
BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
booster Check the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to keep
floor mats away from the pedal. BR-6
and
BR-20
Parking brake Check that the lever has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is held
securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied. PB-5
Automatic transaxle
“Park” mechanismCheck that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly and
smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the se-
lector lever in the “P” position without applying any brakes. —
CVT P (Park) position
mechanism On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector lever
in the “P” position without applying any brakes.

formation, deterioration or loose connections.

fluid levels Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines on the reservoirs.
BR-9
Battery
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require frequent
checks of the battery fluid level. —

Exhaust system
Make sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the exhaust
seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate the trouble
and correct it. MA-37, "EXHAUST SYS-

System HR16DE", MA-38,
"EXHAUST SYSTEM :
Checking Exhaust System
MR18DE"
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those used
on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances, oth-
erwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the exhaust sys-
tem. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly flushed with plain
water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt can easily accumu-
late. —
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is normal.
If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the cause
and correct it immediately. —

FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 ° to 80° C (122° to 176°F).
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle to warm up the CVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20 °C (68° F), it takes
about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 ° to 80° C
(122° to 176 °F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
4. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move the selector lever throughout the entire shift range and return it to
the “P” position.
5. Press the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to release the lock and pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charg-
ing pipe.
6. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Then rotate the CVT fluid level gauge 180 ° and re-insert it into the CVT charging pipe
as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
Always use lint free paper towels to wipe fluid off the CVT
fluid level gauge.

on A/T fluid level gauge.
• A : Front side
• B : Reverse side
•C : Add
• D : OK
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi- tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.

CAUTION:
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 (clutches, 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.
