Maintenance
Checking the washer fluid
level
The washer fluid reservoir is trans-
parent, so that you can visually
check the washer fluid level.
If necessary, add the washer fluid.
Plain water may be used, when the
washer fluid is unavailable. However,
you may add antifreezing solvents to
the fluid to prevent it from freezing,
before driving at a cold temperature.

Tire terminology and defini-
tions
Air Pressure:The amount of air
inside a tire, pressing the inside the
tire outwards. Air pressure is meas-
ured in pounds per square inch (psi)
or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight: This is the com-
bined weights of optional acces-
sories. Some examples of optional
accessories are the automatic trans-
mission, power seats, and air condi-
tioning.
Aspect Ratio: The ratio of a tire
width to a height.
Belt: A rubber coated layer of cords
that is located between the plies and
the tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing materials.
Bead: The tire bead contains the
steel wires wrapped with steel cords.
This holds a tire onto a rim. Bias Ply Tire:
This is a pneumatic
tire, in which plies are laid at alter-
nate angles less than 90 degrees on
the tread centerline.
Cold Tire Pressure: This is the
amount of air pressure inside a tire,
measured in pounds per square inch
(psi) or kilopascals (kPa), before the
heat build-up due to driving.
Curb Weight: This is the vehicle
weight with standard and optional
equipment including the full fuel tank,
oil tanks and coolant tanks. However,
this excludes the weight of passen-
gers and loads.
DOT Markings: This code is marked
on a tire side wall, as an indication of
the its compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation motor
vehicle safety standards. The DOT
code includes the Tire Identification
Number (TIN), alphanumeric desig-
nator for the manufacturer identifica-
tion, manufacturing plant, brand and
manufacturing date.
GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GAWR FRT: Gross Axle Weight
Rating for the Front Axle.
GAWR RR: Gross Axle Weight
Rating for the Rear axle.
Intended Outboard Sidewall: This
asymmetrical tire side must face out-
wards, while being installed on a
vehicle.
Kilopascal (kPa): The metric unit for
air pressure.
Light Truck (LT) Tire: A tire desig-
nated by its manufacturer as primari-
ly intended for use on lightweight
trucks or multipurpose passenger
vehicles.
Load Ratings: The maximum load
that a tire is rated to carry for a given
inflation pressure.
• It is difficult to recognize a tire
damage only with your eyes.
When there is a slight hint of a
tire damage, check and
replace the tire to prevent the
damage caused by air leak-
age.
When a tire is damaged while driving on a rough road, off a
road, or over obstacles, such
as a pothole, manhole, or curb
stone, your warranty does not
cover the damage.
The tire information is speci- fied on the tire side wall.

Maintenance
Purge Control Solenoid Valve(PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM). When the engine
coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes to prevent
the evaporated fuel from getting into
the engine. After warming up the
engine in a normal driving condition,
the PCSV opens to introduce evapo-
rated fuel to the engine.
3. Exhaust emission control system
The Exhaust Emission Control
System is highly effective in control-
ling exhaust emissions, while main-
taining good vehicle performance.
Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modi-
fied. Modification of your vehicle
may affect its driving performance,
safety or durability. This even may
violate safety and emissions regu-
lations of the government.
In addition, damage or perform-
ance problems, which is resulted in
due to any modification, may not
be covered by a warranty.
Use of unauthorized electric devices may cause abnormal vehi-
cle operation, wire damage, bat-
tery discharge and a fire.
Be careful not to damage your
vehicle by using an unauthorized
electric device.
Engine exhaust gas precautions (carbon monoxide)
Carbon monoxide is present in
exhaust fumes. Therefore, when
you smell exhaust fumes of any
kinds, inside your vehicle, immedi-
ately have it inspected and
repaired. When you suspect
exhaust fume emission into your
vehicle, drive the vehicle only when
all windows are fully opened.
Immediately have your vehicle
checked and repaired immediately.
- Exhaust
Engine exhaust gases contain
carbon monoxide (CO). Though
colorless and odorless, it is
dangerous and is lethal, if
inhaled. Follow the instructions
on this page to avoid CO poi-
soning.
WARNING
Engine exhaust and a wide vari-
ety of automobile components
and parts, including compo-
nents found in the interior fur-
nishings in a vehicle, contain or
emit chemicals known to the
State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects and repro-
ductive harm. In addition, cer-
tain fluids contained in vehicles
and certain products of compo-
nent wear contain or emit chem-
icals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSI- TION 65 WARNING

To assure the proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use
only lubricants of the proper quality.
The proper lubricants also promote engine efficiency, leading to a better fuel
economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
*1Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.

2Engine oils, labeled as Energy Conserving Oil, are now available. Along with other
additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel
necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to
measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they significantly reduce costs and
deliver energy savings.
*
3When the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.
