Fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust
gas leakage
Look  under  the  body  of  your  vehicle  to  check  for
fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas leaks.WARNINGl If  you  see  a  suspicious  fuel  leak  or  if  you
smell  fuel,  do  not  operate  the  vehicle;  we
recommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp operation
Operate the combination lamp switch to check that
all lamps are functioning properly.
If  the  lamps  do  not  illuminate,  the  probable  cause
is  a  blown  fuse  or  defective  lamp  bulb.  Check  the
fuses  first.  If  there  is  no  blown  fuses,  check  the
lamp bulbs.
For  information  regarding  the  inspection  and  re-
placement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to
“ Fuses”  on  page  8-20  and  “Replacement  of  lamp
bulbs” on page 8-23.
If  the  fuses  and  bulbs  are  all  OK,  we  recommend
you to have your vehicle checked and repaired.
Meter, gauge and indicator/warning
lamps operation
Run the engine to check the operation of all meters,
gauges, and indicator/warning lamps.
If  there  is  anything  wrong,  we  recommend  you  to
have your vehicle inspected.
