Lights*:
Clean the headlights on
aregular basis. Make sure
that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal
lights, and other lights are all operating properly and
installed securely. Also check the aim of the head-
lights.
Tyres*:
Check the pressure with agauge often and always
prior to long distance trips. Adjust the pressure in all
tyres, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tyre rotation*:
In the case of Two-Wheel Drive (2WD), and where
front and rear tyres are the same size: tyres should
be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). Tyres
marked with directional indicators can only be ro-
tated between front and rear. Make sure that the
directional indicators point in the direction of wheel
rotation after the tyre rotation is completed.
In the case of the Four-Wheel Drive and All Wheel
Drive (4WD/AWD), and where front and rear tyres
are the same size: tyres should be rotated every
5,000 km (3,000 miles). Tyres marked with direc-
tional indicators can only be rotated between front
and rear. Make sure that the directional indicators
point in the direction of wheel rotation after the tyre
rotation is completed.
In the case that front tyres are different size from
rear tyres: tyres cannot be rotated.
The timing for tyre rotation may vary according to
your driving habits and the road surface conditions. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components (where fitted):
Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve
core and cap when the tyres are replaced due to
wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balance:
If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving
on astraight and level road, or if you detect uneven
or abnormal tyre wear, there may be aneed for
wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vi-
brates at normal highway speeds, wheel balancing
may be needed.
Windscreen:
Clean the windscreen on aregular basis. Check the
windscreen at least every six months for cracks or
other damage. Repair as necessary.
Wiper blades*:
Check for cracks or wear if not functioning cor-
rectly. Replace as necessary.
Inside vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked on aregular basis, such as when perform-
ing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
Accelerator pedal:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make
sure that the pedal does not catch or require uneven
effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. Brake pedal*:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make
sure that it is the proper distance from the floor mat
when depressed fully. Check the brake booster
function. Be sure to keep the floor mats away from
the pedal.
Parking brake*:
Check the parking brake operation regularly. Check
that the lever (where fitted) or the pedal (where fit-
ted) has the proper travel. Also make sure that the
vehicle is held securely on
afairly steep hill when
only the parking brake is applied.
Seat belts:
Check that all parts of the seat belt system (for
example, buckles, anchors, adjusters and retrac-
tors) operate properly and smoothly, and are in-
stalled securely. Check the belt webbing for cuts,
fraying, wear or damage.
Steering wheel:
Check for changes in the steering condition, such
as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes:
Make sure that all warning lights and chimes are
operating properly.
Windscreen defogger:
Check that the air comes out of the defogger outlets
properly and in good quantity when operating the
heater or air conditioner.

The disc brake pads have audible wear warnings.
When
abrake pad requires replacement, it will make
ah igh pitched scraping sound when the vehicle is in
motion. This scraping sound will first occur only
when the brake pedal is depressed. After more wear
of the brake pad, the sound will always be heard
even if the brake pedal is not depressed. Have the
brakes checked as soon as possible if the wear
warning sound is heard.
Under some driving or climate conditions, occa-
sional brake squeaks, squeals or other noises may
be heard. Occasional brake noise during light to
moderate stops is normal and does not affect the
function or performance of the brake system.
The rear drum brakes do not have audible wear indi-
cators. Should you ever hear an unusually loud noise
from the rear drum brakes, have them checked as
soon as possible by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
Proper brake inspection intervals should be
followed. For additional information, see aseparate
maintenance booklet.
BRAKE BOOSTER
Check the brake booster function as follows:
1. With the engine off, depress and release the footbrake pedal several times. When the brake
pedal movement (distance of travel) remains the
same from one pedal application to the next, con-

8-20 Maintenance and do-it-yourself

•
Incorrect tyre selection, fitting, care or main-
tenance can affect vehicle safety with risk of
accident and injury. If in doubt, consult an
approved dealer or qualified workshop or the
tyre manufacturer.
TYRE WEAR AND DAMAGE
➀ :W
ear indicator
➁ :W
ear indicator location mark
Tyres should be periodically inspected for wear,
cracking, bulging or objects caught in the tread. If
excessive wear, cracks, bulging or deep cuts are
found, the tyre should be replaced immediately.
The original tyres have abuilt-in tread wear indica-
tor. When the wear indicator is visible, the tyre
should be replaced.
Improper service of aspare tyre may result in seri-
ous personal injury. If it is necessary to repair the
spare tyre, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. TYRE AGE
Never use
atyre over six years old, regardless of
whether it has been used or not.
Tyres degrade with age as well as with the vehicle
usage. Have your tyres checked and balanced often
by arepair shop or, if you prefer, an approved dealer
or qualified workshop.
CHANGING TYRES AND WHEELS WARNING
Do not install
adeformed wheel or tyre even if it
has been repaired. Such wheels or tyres could
have structural damage and could fail without
warning.
When replacing atyre, use the same size, speed
rating and load carrying capacity as originally
equipped. (See “Tyres and wheels” in the “9. Tech-
nical information” section for recommended types
and sizes of tyres and wheels.) The use of tyres
other than those recommended or the mixed use of
tyres of different brands, construction (bias, bias-
belted, or radial), or tread patterns can adversely
affect the ride, braking, handling, ground clearance,
body-to-tyre clearance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper
height. Some of these effects may lead to accidents
and could result in serious personal injury.
If the wheels are changed for any reason, always
replace with wheels which have the same offset
dimension. Wheels of adifferent offset could cause
early tyre wear, possibly degraded vehicle handling characteristics and/or interference with the brake
discs/drums. Such interference can lead to
decreased braking efficiency and/or early brake
pad/shoe wear.
WHEEL BALANCE
Unbalanced wheels may affect vehicle handling and
tyre life. Even with regular use, wheels can get out
of balance. Therefore, they should be balanced as
required.
SPARE TYRE
Conventional spare tyre (where fitted)
As tandard tyre (the same size as the road wheels)
is supplied with your vehicle.
Temporary spare tyre (where fitted)
The temporary spare tyre is adifferent size from the
road wheels.
Temporary spare tyres can be distinguished as fol-
lows:
—T yre and wheel size differs from the four mounted
tyres and wheels.
—T here is alabel in the wheel with aspeed limita-
tion.
In order to avoid malfunction adhere to the follow-
ing:
• Never drive at speeds above 80 km/h (50 MPH).
• Drive with special caution when
atemporary
spare wheel is mounted. SDI1663Z
