1) Check that windows, mirrors, lights and reflectors are clean and unobstructed. 2) Visually check the tyres for the follow-ing points: -the depth of the tread groove -abnormal wear, cracks and damage -loose wheel nuts -existence of foreign material such as nails, stones, etc.
Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for details. 3) Look for fluid and oil leakage.
3-1
NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system while and after use.
4) Check that the hood is fully closed and latched. 5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera­tion. 6) Adjust the seat and head restraint. 7) Check the brake pedal and the parking brake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Check that you and all passengers have properly fastened by the seat belts. 1 0)Check that all warning lights come on as the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position. 11 )Check all gauges. 12)Check that the brake system warning light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level 3) Brake fluid level 4) Battery fluid (acid) level 5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Check that you cannot open . the hood further without releasing the secondary latch. Close the hood securely after checking for proper latch operation. See the item "All latches, hinges and locks" of "Chassis, body and others" in "Maintenance schedule" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTE­NANCE" section for lubrication sched­ule.
A WARNING
Check that the hood is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tyre pressure using a tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre pressure of the spare tyre.

Transfer lever
(1) Transfer lever
Your vehicle is equipped with the "ALL GRIP PRO" system that consists of a transfer case with a synchronizer (between 2WD-high and 4WD-high positions) and the air locking hubs. With this feature, you can shift the drive mode between 2-wheel drive high range and 4-wheel drive high range by shifting the "2H" or "4H" position. Stop the vehicle or reduce the speed to less than 100 km/h (60 mph) with the front wheels in the straight ahead position. Do not shift the transfer lever without depress­ing the accelerator pedal. Do not activate the cruise control system when shifting the transfer lever.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: The air locking hubs are activated by the vacuum of the engine and changed to shift the front wheel drive. The air lock­ing hubs are not shifted when the engine is stopping. Several seconds are required from the operation of the trans­fer lever to the activation of air locking hubs. When the front tyres receive a big shock during running in 2-whee/ drive position on the road surface of the big irregularity, etc, some noise may occur inside the air locking hubs afterwards. In this situation, stop the vehicle and then shift the trans­fer lever into "4H" position. After that, shift the transfer lever into "2H" position
again.
