Fasteners Information
Metric Fasteners
Most of the fasteners used for this vehicle are metric fasteners. When replacing any fasteners, it is most impor-
tant that replacement fasteners be the correct diameter, thread pitch and strength.
Fastener Strength Identification
Most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 4T, 6.8, 7T, 8.8 and radial line with the class
identification embossed on the head of each bolt. Some metric nuts will be marked with punch, 6 or 8 mark
strength identification on the nut face. Figure shows the different strength markings.
When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts and nuts of the same strength or greater than the origi-
nal fasteners (the same number marking or higher). It is likewise important to select replacement fasteners of
the correct diameter and thread pitch. Correct replacement bolts and nuts are available through the parts divi-
sion.
Metric bolts: Identification class numbers or marks correspond to bolt strength (increasing numbers represent
increasing strength).
Standard Tightening Torque
Each fastener should be tightened to the torque specified in each section of this manual. If no description or
specification is provided, refer to the following tightening torque chart for the applicable torque for each fastener.
When a fastener of greater strength than the original one is used, however, use the torque specified for the orig-
inal fastener.
1. Nuts strength identification
NOTE:
 For the flanged bolt, flanged nut and self-lock nut of 4T and 7T strength, add 10% to the tightening
torque given in the chart below.
 The chart below is applicable only where the fastened parts are made of steel light alloy.

When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the 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 connections, dents
and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other
defects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough
clearance from the underbody to avoid overheating and pos-
sible damage to the floor carpet.
Any defects should be fixed at once.
