Checking battery electrolytelevel
The electrolyte level must be between the specified limit on the outside of the battery.
Replenish with distilled water as necessary.
The inside of the battery is divided into sev-
eral compartments; remove the cap from each
compartment and fill to the upper mark. Do not top up beyond the upper mark because
spillage during driving could cause damage.
Check the electrolyte level at least once every
4 weeks, depending on the operating condi- tions.
If the battery is not used, it will discharge by
itself with time.
Check it once every 4 weeks and charge with
low current as necessary.NOTEl Except for diesel-powered 1600 models, to
replenish with the distilled water, remove
the upper cover and duct.
Refer to “Removing and installing the upper cover and duct” on page 10-10.Removing and installing the
upper cover and duct

WARNINGl Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF.
Make sure that your clothes cannot be
caught by the fan or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
To remove
1. Remove the clips (A), and then remove
the upper cover (B).

l Some 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 box does not contain spare 7.5 A ,
25 A or 30 A fuses. If one of these fuses burns out, substitute with the following fuse.7.5 A: 10 A spare fuse
25 A: 20 A spare fuse
30 A: 30 A audio system amp fuse
When using a substitute fuse, replace with a
fuse of the correct capacity as soon as possi- ble.

1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn off
the electrical circuit concerned and turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” posi-
tion or put the operation mode in OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the in-
side of the fuse box in the engine com-
partment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity table,
check the fuse pertaining to the problem.
B- Fuse is OK
C- 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.
4. Use the fuse puller to insert a new fuse
with the same capacity. Make sure you
insert the fuse into the same location in
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 larger capacity than
specified or a substitute (such as a cable or
foil). Doing so could cause the circuit wires
to overheat and create a fire.Replacement of lamp bulbs
E01003101922
Before replacing a bulb, ensure the lamp isoff. Do not touch the glass part of the new
bulb with your bare fingers; the skin oil left
on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot and the vapour will condense on the
reflector and dim the surface.
