Maintenance
Owner Maintenance Schedule
When you stop for charging:

[Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir.

[Check the windshield washer fluid
level.

[Check for low or under-inflated tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking
your coolant level if the motor
compartment is hot. This
may result in coolant being
blown out of the opening and
cause serious burns and other
injuries.
While operating your vehicle:

[Check for vibrations in the steering
wheel. Notice if there is any increased
steering effort or looseness in the
steering wheel, or change in its
straight-ahead position.

[Notice if your vehicle constantly turns
slightly or “pulls” to one side when
traveling on smooth, level road.

[When stopping, listen and check for
unusual sounds, pulling to one side,
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.

[Check the shift gear P (Park) function.

[Check the parking brake.

[Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system during or after
use is normal).
At least monthly:

[Check coolant level in the coolant
reservoir.

[Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.

[Check the inflation pressures of all
tires including the spare (if equipped)
for tires that are worn, show uneven
wear, or are damaged.

[Check for loose wheel bolts.
At least twice a year: (for example,
every Spring and Autumn)

[Check radiator, heater and air
conditioning hoses for leaks or
damage.

[Check windshield washer spray and
wiper operation. Clean wiper blades
with a clean cloth dampened with
washer fluid.

[Check headlamp alignment.

[Check the seat belts for wear and
function.
At least once a year:

[Clean body and door drain holes.

[Lubricate door hinges and hood
hinges.

[Lubricate door and hood locks and
latches.

[Lubricate door rubber weather strips.

[Check the air conditioning system.

[Inspect and lubricate shift gear
linkage and controls.

[Clean the battery (12V) and terminals.

[Check the brake fluid level.

Checking the Washer Fluid Level
OJWEV091004
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain
water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold
climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death, take
the following safety precautions when
using washer fluid:

[Do not use coolant or antifreeze in
the washer fluid reservoir. Coolant
can severely obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident or damage to
paint and body trim.

[Do not allow sparks or flame to
contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer fluid
may contain alcohol and can be
flammable.

[Do not drink washer fluid and avoid
contact with skin. Washer fluid is
harmful to humans and animals.

[Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.
REDUCTION GEAR FLUID
There is no reduction gear fluid level
gauge in the vehicle. Check the
reduction gear fluid every 37000 mi.
regularly. If the vehicle is driven under
severe condition, check the maintenance
under severe usage condition and
consult an authorized retailer of Genesis
Branded products.
