NOTE: For information on tyre inflation pressure,
refer to the label attached to the centre pillar on the
driver's side.
TYRE WEAR CHECKM1311001000334
Measure the tread depth of the tyres.
Minimum limit: 1.6 mm
If the remaining tread depth is less than the minimum
limit, replace the tyre.
NOTE: When the tread depth of the tyres is reduced
to 1.6 mm or less, wear indicators will appear.
WHEEL RUNOUT CHECKM1311001100353
Jack up the vehicle so that the wheels are clear of
the floor. While slowly turning the wheel, measure
wheel runout with a dial indicator.
Limit:

PARKING BRAKE LEVER STROKE
CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT
M1361000900339
1. Pull the parking brake lever with a force of
approximately 200 N and count the number of
notches.
Standard value: 5 − 7 notches
2. If the parking brake lever stroke is not the
standard value, adjust as described below.
(1) Remove the rear console assembly (Refer to
GROUP 52A, Rear Floor Console P.52A-8).
(2) Loosen the adjusting nut to move it to the
cable rod end so that the cable will be free.
(3) Remove the wheels.
(4) Complete air bleeding of brake circuit. (Refer
to GROUP 35A, On-vehicle Service, Bleeding
P.35A-6.)(5) Remove the rear wheel hub plug, and then
use a flat-tipped screwdriver to turn the shoe
slack adjuster in the direction of the arrow (the
direction which expands the shoe) so that the
disc will not rotate.
Return the shoe slack adjuster 5 notches in
the direction opposite to the direction of the
arrow.
(6) Turn the adjusting nut to adjust the parking
brake lever stroke to the standard value. After
adjusting, check that there is no space
between the adjusting nut and the parking
brake lever. Check that the adjusting nut is
secured with the nut holder.
CAUTION
If the parking brake lever stroke is below the
standard value and the braking is too firm, the
rear brakes may drag.
(7) Release the parking brake and turn the rear
wheels to check that the rear brakes are not
dragging.
LINING RUNNING-INM1361001100240
CAUTION
Carry out running-in in a place with good
visibility, and pay careful attention to safety.
Carry out running-in by the following procedure when
replacing the parking brake linings or the rear brake
disc rotors, or when brake performance is
insufficient.
1. Adjust the parking brake lever stroke to the
standard value.

POWER STEERING37-13
STEERING WHEEL RETURN TO CENTRE
CHECK
M1372001800317
Conduct a road test:
1. Make both gradual and sudden turns and check
the steering wheel return.
2. At a vehicle speed of approximately 35 km/h, turn
the steering wheel 90°, hold a few seconds, then
release. If the steering wheel then returns 70° or
more, the return can be judged satisfactory.
NOTE: There will be a momentary feeling or
"heaviness" when the wheel is turned quickly, but
this is not abnormal (Oil pump discharge amount
is especially apt to be insufficient during idling).
DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECKM1372001900392
For vehicles with 1300 and 1600 engine, refer to
GROUP 11A, On-vehicle Service − Drive Belt
Tension Check P.11A-7.
For vehicles with 2000 engine, refer to GROUP 11C,
On-vehicle Service − Drive Belt Tension Check
P.11C-7.
FLUID LEVEL CHECKM1372002000284
1. Park the vehicle on a flat, level surface.
2. Start the engine, and then turn the steering wheel
several times to raise the temperature of the fluid
to approximately 50 − 60°C.
3. With the engine running, turn the wheel all the
way to the left and right several times.4. Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or
milkiness. Check the difference of the fluid level
when the engine is stopped, and while it is
running. If the change of the fluid level is 5 mm or
more, air bleeding should be done.
FLUID REPLACEMENTM1372002100333
1. Raise and support the front wheels.
2. Disconnect the return hose connection, and then
connect a vinyl hose to the return hose, and drain
the fluid into a container.
3. Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (Refer to
GROUP 16, Ignition Coil P.16-38or P.16-39).
4. While operating the starter motor intermittently,
turn the steering wheel all the way to the left and
right several times to drain all of the fluid.
5. Connect the return hose securely, and then
secure with the clip.
6. Fill the oil reservoir with specified fluid up to
between "MAX" and "MIN" marks, and then bleed
the air.
Specified fluid: ATF DEXRON III or DEXRON

TROUBLESHOOTINGM1542000701292
When the front fog lamp switch is turned to ON with
the tail lamp or the headlamp on (the tail lamp switch
or the headlamp switch is ON), the fog lamp relay
turns on, and the fog lamps will illuminate.
If the tail lamps or the headlamps are turned off with
the lighting switch OFF while the fog lamps are on,
the front fog lamps turn off at the same time to
prevent unattended operation.
If the tail lamps are turned off by the headlamp
automatic shutdown function, the fog lamps turn off
at the same time. However, if the tail lamps illuminate
again, the fog lamps do not.
The front fog lamps are controlled by the Smart
Wiring System (SWS). For troubleshooting, refer to
respective Groups below.
•Not using SWS monitor: GROUP 54B, SWS

FRONT FOG LAMP AIMING CHECKM1542001100438
After setting the vehicles to the following condition,
adjust the front fog lamp aiming.
•Check that the tyre inflation pressure is at the
value indicated on the tyre pressure labels.
•Set the vehicle to the unladen condition and park
it on a level surface.
•Have a single person (approximately 75 kg) sit in
the driver’s seat.•Run the engine at a speed of 2000 r/min to fully
charge the battery.
Turn on the front fog lamps and check that the
illumination is within the standard value range.
Standard value: Illuminates to within 40
metres
CAUTION
For the fog lamp which is not being measured,
disconnect that fog lamp’s connector if possible
so that it does not illuminate while carrying out
the adjustment. Furthermore, make sure that the
light axis does not get shifted when
re-connecting the connector.
If the value is out of the standard value, insert the
screwdriver (+) through the aiming hole on the side
under cover to adjust by turning the adjusting gear
for fog lamp aiming.
NOTE: Horizontal adjustment is not possible.
In addition, the method of checking the light axis on a
screen (simple check) is given below. Item Standard value
