Power Steering (P/S) System (if equipped)
INSPECTION
1) Visually check power steering system for fluid leakage and
hose for damage and deterioration.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
2) With engine stopped, check fluid level indicated on fluid tank
or level gauge of tank cap, which should be between MAX
and MIN marks. If it is lower than MIN, fill fluid up to MAX
mark.
3) Visually check pump drive belt for cracks and wear.
4) Check belt for tension, referring to “Drive Belt” in this section.
If necessary, have belt adjusted or replaced.
All Hinges, Latches and Locks
DOORS INSPECTION
Check that each door of front and back doors opens and closes
smoothly and locks securely when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch or repair
door lock system.
ENGINE HOOD INSPECTION
Check that secondary latch operates properly (check that sec-
ondary latch keeps hood from opening all the way even when pull-
ing hood release handle inside vehicle.) Also check that hood
opens and closes smoothly and properly and hood locks securely
when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch, or repair
hood lock system. Check hood latch bolt for tightness.
Tightening torque
Hood latch bolts
10 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 7.5 lb-ft)
NOTE:
 Be sure to use an equivalent of DEXRON
®-II,
DEXRON
®-IIE or DEXRON®-III for P/S fluid.
 Fluid level should be checked when fluid is cool.

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.

Lower than Recommended Pressure Can Cause:
1) Tire squeal on turns
2) Hard steering
3) Rapid and uneven wear on the edges of the tread
4) Tire rim bruises and rupture
5) Tire cord breakage
6) High tire temperatures
7) Reduced handling
8) High fuel consumption
Tire placard
The tire placard is located on the driver’s side door lock pillar and should be referred to for tire information. The
placard lists the maximum load, tire size and cold tire pressure where applicable.
Tire rotation
To equalize wear, rotate tires according to left figure. Radial tires
should be rotated periodically. Set tire pressure. NOTE:
Whether rim size and/or maximum load are listed or not depends on regulations of each country.
NOTE:
Due to their design, radial tires tend to wear faster in the
shoulder area, particularly in front positions. This makes
regular rotation especially necessary.
