Tires*:
Check the pressure with a gauge often and alwa\fs
prior to long distance trips. If necessar\f, ad\bust the
pressure in all tires, including the spare, to the
pressure specified. Check carefull\f for damage, cuts
or excessive wear.
Tire rotation*:
Tires should be rotated ever\f 10,000 km (6,000
miles) . However, the timing for tire rotation ma\f var\f
according to \four driving habits and the road surface
conditions.
Wheel alignment and balance (for Europe):
If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving on
a straight and level road, or if \fou detect uneven or
abnormal tire wear, there ma\f be a need for wheel
alignment.
If the steering wheel or seat vibrates at normal highwa\f
speeds, wheel balancing ma\f be needed.
Windshield:
Clean the windshield on a regular basis. Check the
windshield at least ever\f six months for cracks or other
damage. Have a damaged windshield repaired b\f a
qualified repair facilit\f.
Wiper blades*:
Check for cracks or wear if the\f do not wipe properl\f.

Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between
the UPPER and LOWER levels. Vehicles operated in
high temperatures or under severe conditions require
frequent checks of the batter\f fluid level.
Brake and clutch fluid level*:
Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid level is
between the MAX and MIN lines on the reservoir.
Engine coolant level*:
Check the coolant level when the engine is cold.
Engine drive belts*:
