Maintenance and Minor Adjustments
Wheel and Tire
Wheel repairs that use welding, heating, or peening are not approved. All damaged wheels should be replaced.
Studs
If a broken stud is found, see Section 3E (rear) or Section 3D (front) for Note and Replacement procedure.
Matched tires and wheels
(For vehicle equipped with steel wheels)
Tires and wheels are matchmounted at the assembly plant.
This means that the radially stiffest part of the tire, or “high spot”,
is matched to the smallest radius or “low spot” of the wheel.
This is done to provide the smoothest possible ride.
The “high spot” of the tire is originally marked by paint dot (1) on
the outboard sidewall. This paint dot will eventually wash off the
tire.
The “low spot” of the wheel is originally marked by paint dot (2) on
the wheel rim-flange. Properly assembled, the wheel rim’s paint
dot should be aligned with the tire’s paint dot as shown in left fig-
ure.
Whenever a tire is dismounted from its wheel, it should be
remounted so that the tire and wheel are matched. If the tire’s
paint dot cannot be located, a line should be scribed on the tire
and wheel before dismounting to assure that it is remounted in
the same position.
Inflation of Tires
The pressure recommended for any model is carefully calculated to give a satisfactory ride, stability, steering,
tread wear, tire life and resistance to bruises.
Tire pressure, with tires cold, (after vehicle has set for three hours or more, or driven less than one mile) should
be checked monthly or before any extended trip. Set to the specifications on the tire placard located on the
driver’s side door lock pillar.
It is normal for tire pressure increase when the tires become hot during driving. Do not bleed or reduce tire pres-
sure after driving. Bleeding reduces the “Cold Inflation Pressure.”
Higher than Recommended Pressure Can Cause:
1) Hard ride
2) Tire bruising or carcass damage
3) Rapid tread wear at center of tire
Unequal Pressure on Same Axle Can Cause:
1) Uneven braking
2) Steering lead
3) Reduced handling
4) Swerve on acceleration
Valve caps should be kept on valves to keep dust and water out.

Excessive Pedal Travel Check
1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 30 kg (66
Ibs) load, measure brake pedal to wall clearance “d” or “e”.
Clearance “d” or “e” between brake pedal and wall
LH steering vehicle clearance “d” : Over 55 mm (2.17 in.)
RH steering vehicle clearance “e” : Over 76 mm (2.99 in.)
4) If clearance “d” or “e” is less than specification, the most pos-
sible cause is either rear brake shoes are worn out beyond
limit or air is in lines.
Should clearance “d” or “e” remain less than specification
even after replacement of brake shoes and bleeding of sys-
tem, other possible but infrequent cause is malfunction of
rear brake shoe adjusters or booster push rod length out of
adjustment.
–Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake Sys-
tem” in this section.
–Remove brake drums for adjuster inspection. Refer to
“Rear Brake” in this section. If defective, correct or replace.
Front Brake Disc Check
Refer to item “Front Disc Brake” in this section for inspection point
and procedure.
Front Brake Pad Check
Inspect pad linings (3) periodically according to maintenance
schedule whenever wheels are removed (for tire rotation or other
reason). Take a look through each end (or hole) of caliper and
check lining thickness of outside and inside pads. If lining is worn
and its thickness (“a” in figure) is less than limit, all pads must be
replaced at the same time.
Front brake pad thickness “a” (lining thickness)
Limit : 2.0 mm (0.08 in.)

[B]: RH steering vehicle

Maintenance
Coolant
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the overflow is col-
lected in the reservoir.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a quality coolant that is either 50/50 mixture of water and
anti-freeze / anti-corrosion coolant (ethylene glycol antifreeze).
The 50/50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing protection to – 36 °C ( – 33 °F).
Maintain cooling system freeze protection at – 36 °C ( – 33 °F) to ensure protection against corrosion and
loss of coolant from boiling.
This should be done even if freezing temperatures are not expected.
Add ethylene glycol base coolant when coolant has to be added because of coolant loss or to provide added
protection against freezing at temperature lower than – 36 °C ( – 33 °F).

NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze / Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.

General Description
The exhaust system of this vehicle consists of the exhaust manifold, exhaust center pipe, muffler, seals, etc.
The catalytic converter is an emission control device added to the exhaust system to lower the level of Hydro-
carbon (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) pollutants in the exhaust gas. The catalyst
in the catalytic converter is of “Three way” type.
Maintenance
At every interval of periodic maintenance service, and when vehicle is raised for other service, check exhaust
system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration and out of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connection, dent and damage.
If bolts or nuts are loosened, tighten them to specified torque. Refer to “Components” in this section.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or mispositioned part, open seam, hole, loose connection
or any other defect which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clearance from underbody to avoid overheating
and possible damage to passenger compartment carpet.
Any defect should be fixed at once. NOTE:
Whether following parts are used in the particular vehicle or not depends on specification. Be sure to
bear this in mind when performing service work.
Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
CAUTION:
Be sure to use UNLEADED FUEL for the catalytic converter equipped vehicle. Use of LEADED FUEL
will affect performance of the catalytic converter adversely to a great extent.
WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust system when system is hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be performed when system is cool.
