GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-9

When disconnecting vacuum hoses, attach a tag describing
the correct installation positions so that the hoses can be re-
installed correctly.

After servicing fuel, oil, coolant, vacuum, exhaust or brake
systems, check all lines related to the system for leaks.

For vehicles equipped with fuel injection systems, never dis-
connect the fuel line between the fuel pump and injector
without first releasing the fuel pressure, or fuel can be
sprayed out under pressure.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use only un-
leaded gasoline and be careful not to let a large amount of un-
burned gasoline enter the converter or it can be damaged.
± Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary, make it as
short as possible, and do not open the throttle.
± Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest
possible time.
± Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g.
starting the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty).

Engine Oil and Filter Change
WARNING:
New and used engine oil can be hazardous.
Be sure to read ªWARNINGº in General Precaution in Sec-
tion 0A and observe what in written there.
Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage. If any evi-
dence of leakage is found, make sure to correct defective part be-
fore proceeding to the following work.
1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean. Reinstall drain plug, and
tighten it securely as specified below.

0B-10 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.).
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for three minutes. Stop it and wait five min-
utes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to bring oil
level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
NOTE:
Step 1) ± 7) outlined above must be performed with ENGINE
NOT RUNNING. For step 8), be sure to have adequate ven-
tilation while engine is running.
ITEM 1-5
Engine Coolant Change
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure if cap is taken
off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug to drain coolant.
3) Remove reservoir, which is on the side of radiator, and drain.
4) Tighten plug securely. Also reinstall reservoir.
5) Fill radiator with specified amount of coolant, and run engine for
2 or 3 minutes at idle. This drives out any air which may still be
trapped within cooling system. STOP ENGINE. Add coolant as
necessary until coolant level reaches the filler throat of radiator.
Reinstall radiator cap.

Then, reinstall cap aligning arrow marks on reservoir and cap.
NOTE:
When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks on reser-
voir and cap.
CAUTION:
When changing engine coolant, use mixture of 50% wa-
ter and 50% ANTIFREEZE / ANTICORROSION COOLANT
for the market where ambient temperature falls lower
than ±16C (3F) in winter, and mixture of 70% water and
30% ANTIFREEZE / ANTICORROSION COOLANT for the
market where ambient temperature doesn't fall lower
than ±16C (3F).
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is antici-
pated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ANTIFREEZE / AN-
TICORROSION COOLANT should be used for the pur-
pose of corrosion protection and lubrication.
ITEM 1-6
Exhaust System Inspection
WARING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust sys-
tem when it is still hot. Any service on exhaust system
should be performed when it is cool.
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle is raised for
other service, check exhaust system as follows:

Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out of
position.

Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents and
damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.

Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other de-
fects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the vehicle.

Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clear-
ance from the underbody to avoid overheating and possible dam-
age to the floor carpet.

Any defects should be fixed at once.
