EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log68
The following descriptions are provid-
ed to give you a better understanding
of the maintenance services that
should be performed on your vehicle.
The scheduled maintenance log indi-
cates at which time/mileage intervals
each service should be performed.
Please note that many maintenance
services should be performed only
by a qualified technician.
Air Conditioner Filter
Clean or replace at specified inter-
vals. More frequent cleaning or
replacement may be required when
driving in dusty conditions, heavy
traffic areas, urban areas, desert
areas or dirt roads. Refer to your
Owner’s Manualfor service details.
Axle Shaft Boots
Check the axle shaft boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration and
damage. Replace any damaged parts
and, if necessary, repack the grease.
A qualified technician should perform
these operations.
Ball Joints and Dust Covers
Check the suspension and steering
linkage ball joints for looseness and
damage. Check all dust covers for
deterioration and damage. A qualified
technician should perform these
inspections.
Body Inspection
Visually check for corrosion, scratch-
es and other damage. Check outer
body panels, inner panels of the hood
and doors, and underneath the vehi-
cle. Apply touch-up paint to any chips
and scratches or have them repaired
by a qualified technician.
Brake Fluid
Replace using fluid type specified
in your Owner’s Manual. A qualified
technician should perform this
operation.
Brake Lines and Hoses
Visually inspect for proper installation.
Check for chafing, cracks, deteriora-
tion and signs of leakage. Replace
any deteriorated or damaged parts.
A qualified technician should perform
these operations.
For further information on
maintenance services that you
can perform yourself, see the
maintenance sections of your
Owner’s Manual.

EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log71
Fuel Lines and Connections, Fuel
Tank Band and Fuel Tank Vapor
Vent System Hoses
Visually inspect for corrosion, dam-
age, cracks, and loose or leaking
connections. Tighten connections
and replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Tank Cap Gasket
Visually inspect for cracks, deterio-
ration and damage and replace if
necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on Chassis
Check that tightness of the seat-
mounting bolts and front/rear suspen-
sion-member retaining bolts matches
torque measurements specified in the
Repair Manual.
Rack and Pinion Assembly
Inspect the rack and pinion assembly
for signs of leakage, damage and
loose electrical connections. Tighten
connections and if you discover any
leakage or damage, have it repaired
immediately by a qualified technician.
Road Test
While driving the vehicle, check for
proper operation of engine, transmis-
sion, brakes and steering. Also check
the parking brake, and check for
abnormal noise or vibration from
any part of the vehicle.
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified interval. Install
new plugs of the same type as origi-
nally equipped (see your Owner’s
Manual). A qualified technician should
perform this operation. To ensure
optimum engine performance,
replace only with Denso FK20HR11
plugs or equivalent.
Steering Linkage and Boots
With the vehicle stopped, check for
excessive freeplay in the steering
wheel. Inspect the linkage for bending
and damage and the dust boots for
deterioration, cracks and damage.
Replace any damaged parts. A quali-
fied technician should perform these
operations.
