NOTE
l Do
not allow the wiper
arm to fall onto the
windscreen; it could damage the glass.
3. Attach the retainers (C) to a new wiper blade. Refer to the illustration to ensure that the re-
tainers are correctly aligned as you attach
them. 4. Insert the wiper blade into the arm, starting
with the opposite end

of the blade from the
stopper. Make sure the hook (B) is fitted cor-
rectly in the grooves in the blade.
NOTE l If retainers are not supplied with the new wip-
er blade, use the retainers from the old blade. 5. Push the wiper blade until the hook (B) en-
gages securely with the stopper (A). General maintenance

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. WARNING
l 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. Maintenance

4. Referring to the fuse
load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem. C- Fuse is OK
D- Blown fuse
NOTE l If
any system does not

function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, there
may be a fault in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle checked. 5. Insert
a new fuse of the same capacity by us-
ing the fuse puller

into the same place at the
fuse block. CAUTION
l
If the newly inserted
fuse
blows again af-
ter a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
l Never use a fuse with a capacity larger
than that specified or any substitute, such
as wire, foil, etc.; doing so will cause the
circuit wiring to heat up and could cause
a fire. Replacement of lamp bulbs

Before replacing a bulb, ensure

the lamp is off. Do
not touch the glass part of the new bulb with your
bare fingers; the skin oil left on the glass will evap-
orate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will
condense on the reflector and dim the surface. CAUTION
l
Bulbs are extremely hot
immediately
af-
ter being turned off.
When replacing a bulb, wait for it to cool
sufficiently before touching it. You could
otherwise be burnt.
NOTE l If
you are unsure of

how to carry out the
work as required, we recommend you to con-
sult a specialist.
l Be careful not to scratch the vehicle body
when removing a lamp or lens.
l When it rains or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy. This is the same phenomenon
as when window glass mists up on a humid
day, and does not indicate a functional prob-
lem. When the lamp is switched on, the heat
will remove the fog. However, if water gath-
ers inside the lamp, we recommend you to
have the lamp checked.
Bulb capacity E01003200085
When replacing a bulb, use a new bulb with the
same wattage and colour. Maintenance
