Before Performing Maintenance
Inspection and Maintenance
For your safety, perform all listed inspections and maintenance to keep your vehicle
in good condition. If you become aware of any abnormality (noise, smell, insufficient
brake fluid, oil residue on the ground, etc.), have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.
(Note, however, that service at a dealer is not mandatory to keep your warranties in
effect.)
■Daily inspections
Perform inspections before long distance trips, when washing the vehicle, or when
refueling.
■Periodic inspections
• Check the brake/clutch* fluid level monthly.
2 Brake/Clutch* Fluid P. 564
•Check the tire pressure monthly. Examin e the tread for wear and foreign objects.
2Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 578
•Check the operation of the exterior lights monthly.
2 Replacing Light Bulbs P. 566
•Check the condition of the wiper bl ades at least every six months.
2Checking and Maintaining Wiper Blades P. 575
■Types of Inspection and Maintenance
1Inspection and Maintenance
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
emissions control devices and systems may be
done by any automotive repair establishment or
individuals using parts that are “certified” to
EPA standards.
According to state and fede ral regulations, failure to
perform maintenance on the maintenance main
items marked with # will not void your emissions
warranties. However, all ma intenance services should
be performed in accordan ce with the intervals
indicated by the driver information interface.
2 Maintenance Service Items P. 548

*4:
Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher tra nsmission temperatures. This requires
transmission fluid changes more freque ntly than recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive
your vehicle under these conditions, have the transmi ssion fluid changed every 25,000 miles (40,000 km).
