SPEEDOMETER TESTER CHECK
Caution
l Do not clutch abruptly.
l Do not attempt rabbit starts or accelerate quickly. 13EGIX-302
[Front wheel free-roller method]
1. Set the free roller securely on the floor under the front wheels
by matching it to the wheel base and front tread.
2. Place the vehicle softly on the tester and free roller.
3. Start the engine, and engage the clutch softly at a low speed
in 2nd gear; then gradually increase the speed.
4. Upon completion of the test, stop the engine by gradually
decelerating with soft braking.
[Front wheel jack-up method1
1’. Place the rear wheels on the roller.
2. Jack up the front wheels and mount on a safety stand.
3. Start the engine, and engage the clutch softly at a low speed
in 2nd gear; then gradually increase the speed.
Caution
l When using either the front wheel free-roller meth-
od or front wheel jack-up method, secure the vehi-
cle to prevent forward and lateral movement by
attaching towing hardware (chain or wire) to the
front and rear tow hook or tie-down hook.
BRAKE TESTER CHECK
Caution
. To stabilize the drag force of the viscous coupling,
conduct the brake test after the speedometer test.
1. Place the wheels to be tested (front or rear) on the roller.
2. Shift itit0 NEUTRAL.
3. Drive the tester roller and check.

Caution
l Do not clutch abruptly. l Do not attempt rabbit starts or accelerate quickly.
1. Remove the propeller shaft.
2. Lock the center differential (2WD).
3. Place the front wheets on the roller.
4. Lock the rear wheels and apply the parking brake.
5. Drive the tester roller and check.
6. Upon completion of the test, gradually decelerate with soft
braking and stop the engine.
7. When the test is done, return the differential lclck rod to the
free condition (4WD) and reinstall the propeller shaft.
WHEEL BALANCER (On-the-car Balance)
1.
Jack up all four wheels. Support the wheels to be checked
(front or rear) with the wheel balancer sensor stand and the
remainrng wheels with safety stands.
2. Set the on-the-car balancer. With the center differential in
free condition, drove the tires with the engine; then check.

REMARKS
After 80,000 km or 48 months, continue to follow the described maintenance at the recommended intervals.
As for * marked items in this maintenance chart, note the following points.
+ 1 Major service interval at 12 months/20,000 km (12,000 miles).
Lubrication service based on distance only 10,000 km (6,000 miles) not time.
l 2 Adjust or inspect alternator and water pump drive belt, and power steering and air conditioner drive belt
if equipped.
‘3 Replacement of the timing belt is required at every 100,000 km (60,000 mile). Failure to replace the tim-
ing bett may result in damage to the engine.
‘4 tf the vehicle is operated under any of the following conditions, it is suggested that the engine oil and
oil filter be changed more often than the recommended intervals.
a) Driving in dusty conditions. I
:
b) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation. i
i!
c) Driving for a prolonged periods in cold temperatures or regularly driving onty short distances.
*5 If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, inspect and, if necessary, replace more often
than at usual recommended intervals.
l 6 This IS a full function check of all electrical systems, i.e, atl
ltghts. washers (including condition of blades)
electric windows, sunroof, horn etc.
‘7 Replace every two years. $1
‘I
If there has been continuous hard driving, mountain
drivtng, or if the brakes are used extensively or the
vehicle is operated in extremely humid climates, the brake fluid should be changed annually.
Emission Control and Related Systems
The ignition and fuel systems are vitally important to the proper operation of the-emission control and relat-
ed system, as well as for efficient engine operation. It is strongly recommended that all servicing related
to these systems be done by your Authorised Mazda Dealer.
