F070E03A-AAT
o Automatic Transaxle Fluid The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range
of the dipstick, after engine and transaxle areat normal operating temperature. Check theAutomatic Transaxle Fluid level with the en-gine running and the transaxle in neutral, withthe parking brake properly applied. Use DIA-MOND ATF SP- III or SK ATF SP- III when
adding or changing fluid. 6ZF070F1-A
o Brake Hoses and Lines Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replaceany deteriorated or damaged parts immediately.

o Spark Plugs Make sure to install new spark plugs of the
correct heat range.
6ZF070B1-A
o Cooling System Check the cooling system part, such asradiator, coolant reservoir, hoses and con-nections for leakage and damage. Replaceany damaged parts. 6ZF070G2-A
o Brake Fluid Check brake fluid level in the brake fluidreservoir. The level should be between "MIN"and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir.Use only hydraulic brake fluid conforming toDOT 3 or DOT 4.

Prior to installing a sparking plug, the gap between the centre and outer electrodes mustbe checked and adjusted as necessary.Adjustment is facilitated by bending the outerelectrode towards or away from the centreelectrode. Under no circumstances should at-tempts be made to adjust the position of thecentre electrode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cylinder head and using a suitable plug socket,slowly rotate the sparking plug, (beingcareful not to cross-thread) until the plugcontacts the seating area. Tighten the plug with plug socket by a further 1/2 to 3/4 of a furn only.
3. Clean around the base of the plug to be
removed, and install the plug socket ensur-ing that the ceramic insulator does not be-come damaged. Turn the socket counter-clockwise to remove the plug.
CAUTION: Sparking plugs must only be cleaned using
purpose designed equipment. Wire brush- ing may damage the centre electrode-insulator causing misfiring to occur. Onlythe correct grade of sparking plug shouldbe used. Use of an incorrect grade mayresult in serious engine damage.
