MaintenanceUse only the specified power steer-ing fluid. (Refer to "Recommendedlubricants or capacities" in section 9.)
Checking the power steering hose
Check the connections for oil leaks,
damage and twists in the power
steering hose before driving.
Checking the washer fluid
level
Check the fluid level in the washer
fluid reservoir and add fluid if neces-
sary.
Plain water may be used if washer
fluid is not available. However, use
washer solvent with antifreeze char-
acteristics in cold climates to preventfreezing.
(Continued)
Too little fluid can result in
increased steering effort
and/or noise from the powersteering system.
The use of the non-specified
fluid could reduce the effec-
tiveness of the power steering
system and cause damage toit.

Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir.
Radiator coolant can severely obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield
and may cause loss of vehicle
control or damage to paint
and body trim.
Windshield Washer fluid
agents contain some amountsof alcohol and can be flamma-
ble under certain circum-
stances. Do not allow sparksor flame to contact the washerfluid or the washer fluid reser-
voir. Damage to the vehicle or
occupants could occur.
Windshield washer fluid is poisonous to humans and
animals. Do not drink and
avoid contacting windshield
washer fluid. Serious injury or
death could occur.

Filter inspection
The climate control air filter should be replaced according to the mainte-
nance schedule. If the vehicle is
operated in severely air-polluted
cities or on dusty rough roads for a
long period, it should be inspected
more frequently and replaced earlier.
When you replace the climate control
air filter, replace it performing the fol-
lowing procedure, and be careful to
avoid damaging other components.
Filter replacement
1.Open the glove box and removethe support rod (1). 2.With the glove box open, remove
the stoppers on both sides to allow
the glove box to hang freely on the
hinges.

3.Remove the climate control air fil-ter cover by turning the cover stop-
per (1) and then remove the air fil-
ters. 4.Replace the climate control air fil-
ter.
5.Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
When replacing the climate con-
trol air filter install it properly.
Otherwise, the system may pro-
duce noise and the effectiveness
of the filter may be reduced.
Blade inspection
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic vehicle washes have
been known to make the wind-
shield difficult to clean.

er in the following order.
1. Turn off the battery charger main switch.
2. Unhook the negative clamp from the negative battery ter-minal.
3. Unhook the positive clamp from the positive battery ter-minal.
4. After recharging, park the vehicle for about 5 hours with
the hood and all doors
closed. During this period,
the dark current must be
under 100mA.(AGM battery
only)
Before performing mainte-
nance or recharging the bat-
tery, turn off all accessories
and stop the engine.
The negative battery cable
must be removed first and
installed last when the batteryis disconnected.
Do not open the AGM battery.
WARNING
Recharging battery
When recharging the battery,

the charging rate if the batterycells begin gassing (boiling)
violently or if the temperature
of the electrolyte of any cell
exceeds 49°C (120°F).
Do not charge the AGM bat-
tery with over 14.5V. No quick-
charging routines
Wear eye protection when
checking the battery during
charging.
