ItemReference page
Brake pedal and
boosterCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper dis-
tance under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be
sure to keep floor mats away from the pedal.BR-14, ªBrake Pedal and
Bracketº and BR-19,
ªBrake Boosterº
Parking brakeCheck that the lever has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is
held securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied.BR-31, ªParking Brake
Controlº
Automatic transmis-
sion ªParkº mecha-
nismCheck that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly
and smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely
with the selector lever in the ªPº position without applying any brakes.Ð
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).
ItemReference page
Windshield washer
fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank. Ð
Engine coolant levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold. MA-15
Radiator and hosesCheck the front of the radiator and clean off any dirt, insects, leaves, etc.,
that may have accumulated. Make sure the hoses have no cracks,
deformation, deterioration or loose connections.Ð
Brake fluid levelsMake sure that the brake fluid levels are between the ªMAXº and ªMINº lines
on the reservoir.MA-25
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the ªMAXº and ªMINº
lines.Ð
Engine drive beltsMake sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily. MA-13
Engine oil levelCheck the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and
turning off the engine.MA-18
Power steering fluid
level and linesCheck the level on the dipstick with the engine off. Check the lines for
improper attachment, leaks, cracks, etc.MA-27
Automatic transmis-
sion fluid levelCheck the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in ªPº with the
engine idling.MA-21
Exhaust systemMake sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately
locate the trouble and correct it.MA-21
UnderbodyThe underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those
used on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these
substances, otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and
around the exhaust system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be
thoroughly flushed with plain water, being careful to clean those areas where
mud and dirt can easily accumulate.Ð
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the
vehicle has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner
after use is normal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are
evident, check for the cause and correct it immediately.Ð

NOTE:
(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) fluid (A/T, all mode 4WD transfer)/differential gear oil (exc.
LSD) at every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, and change LSD gear oil every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months.
(2) Refer to ªTire rotationº under the ªGENERAL MAINTENANCEº heading earlier in this section.
(3) The propeller shaft should be re-greased after being immersed in water.
(4) If operating frequently in water, replace grease every 3,750 miles (6,000 km) or 3 months.
(5) Inspect the air bag system 10 years after the date of manufacture noted on the FMVSS certification label.
(6) Refer to SU-5, ªFront Suspension Partsº and SU-16, ªRear Suspension Partsº, AX-3, ªFront Axle Partsº and AX-18, ªRear Axle Partsº.

SMA211A
Checking Exhaust SystemNBMA0019Check exhaust pipes, muffler and mounting for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or
deterioration.
SMA121D
Checking A/T FluidNBMA00201. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50ÉC (86 to 122ÉF) using ªCOLDº range on dipstick.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in ªPº position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove dipstick and note reading. If level is at low side of
either range, and fluid to the charging pipe.
e. Re-insert dipstick into charging pipe as far as it will go.
f. Remove dipstick and note reading. If reading is at low side of
range, add fluid to the charging pipe.
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes in urban areas.
5. Re-check fluid level at fluid temperatures of 50 to 80ÉC (122
to 176ÉF) using ªHOTº range on dipstick.
SMA853B
6. Check fluid condition.
IIf fluid is very dark or smells burned, refer to AT section for
checking operation of A/T. Flush cooling system after repair of
A/T.
IIf A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent
and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to LC-19, ªRadia-
torº.
SMA515C
Changing A/T FluidNBMA00211. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid from drain plug and refill with new A/T fluid.
Always refill same volume with drained fluid.
