Brake pedal free playE01002300281
Stop the engine, depress the brake pedal sev- eral times, and press down the pedal with
your fingers until initial resistance is felt. This distance should be within the specified
range.
A- Free play: 3 to 8 mm
If the brake pedal free play is not within the standard range, we recommend you to have it
checked.
Parking brake lever stroke
E01002400527
Pull the parking brake lever up to check the number of “clicks” that the ratchet makes.
One click represents a lever movement of one
notch. The lever should move the specified number of notches for normal brake applica-
tion.
Type 1A
A- Parking brake lever stroke
Type 1 8 to 9 notches
Type 2 11 to 13 notches
(Parking brake adjustment when pulled
with the force of 200 N)
If the parking brake lever stroke is out of the
standard range, we recommend you to have it
checked.
WARNINGl Continued operation of the vehicle with
the parking brake lever out of adjustment
may result in the vehicle moving when un- attended.Wiper blades

General maintenance

Fuel, engine coolant, oil and ex-
haust gas leakage
Look under the body of your vehicle to check
for fuel, engine coolant, oil and exhaust gas
leaks.
General maintenance
10-19OKTE15E3Maintenance10

WARNINGlIf you see a suspicious fuel leak or if you
smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle; werecommend you to call for assistance.
Exterior and interior lamp op-
eration
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
replacement of the fuses and the lamp bulbs, refer to “Fuses” on page 10-20 and “Re-
placement of lamp bulbs” on page 10-25.
If the fuses and bulbs are all OK, we recom- mend 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.
Hinges and latches lubrication
Check all latches and hinges, and lubricate if
necessary by first cleaning and then applying
multipurpose grease.
For cold and snowy weather
E01002800257
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-
screen should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that
the operation of the heating and ventilation
systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease or spray.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short- handled spade in the vehicle during the win-ter so that you can clear away snow if you get
stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehicle and a plastic scraper for
the windscreen and rear window are also use- ful.
Fusible links
E01002900030
The fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if
a large current attempts to flow through cer- tain electrical systems.
In case of a melted fusible link, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.Fuses
E01003000849Fuse block location

To prevent damage to the electrical systemdue to shortcircuiting or overloading, each in-dividual circuit is provided with a fuse.
There are fuse blocks in the passenger com- partment and in the engine compartment.

lSome fuses may not be installed on your
vehicle, depending on the vehicle model
or specifications.
l The table above shows the main equip-
ment corresponding to each fuse.
The fuse block does not contain spare 10
A and 15 A fuses. If a fuse of one of these capacities blows, replace it tempo-
rarily by borrowing the one that matches
from:
10 A: Radio
15 A: Cigarette lighter
Replace the borrowed fuse as soon as
possible.

2. Pull the fuse lid (A) to remove it.
3. Remove the fuse puller (B) from the fuse lid (A).
4.Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
C- Fuse is OK
D- Blown fuse
NOTEl If any system does not function but the fuse
corresponding to that system is normal, theremay be a fault in the system elsewhere. We recommend you to have your vehiclechecked.5. Insert a new fuse of the same capacity
by using the fuse puller into the same
place at the fuse block.CAUTIONl If the newly inserted fuse blows again after a
short time, we recommend you to have the electrical system checked to find the causeand 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 wir-
ing to heat up and could cause a fire.
