General Precautions
The WARNING and CAUTION below describe some general precautions that you should observe when servic-
ing a vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the service procedures described in this manual, and
they will not necessarily be repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
 Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats
and any other parts that are likely to get scratched or
stained during servicing. Also, be aware that what you
wear (e.g, buttons) may cause damage to the vehicle’s
finish.
 When performing service to electrical parts that does
not require use of battery power, disconnect the nega-
tive cable of the battery. WARNING:
 Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be sure to follow the instructions under “Vehicle Lifting
Points” in this section.
 When it is necessary to do service work with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake
is set fully and the transmission is in Neutral (for manual transmission vehicles) or Park (for auto-
matic transmission vehicles), Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the fan and belts
when the engine is running.
 When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is forced outdoors.
 Do not perform service work in areas where combustible materials can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system. When working with toxic or flammable materials (such as gasoline and refriger-
ant), make sure that the area you work in is well-ventilated.
 To avoid getting burned, keep away from hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold,
tailpipe, muffler, etc.
 New and used engine oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or
used oil. Keep new and used oil and used engine oil filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to cause [skin] cancer in laboratory ani-
mals. Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure to used engine oil,
wear a long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dish washing gloves) when changing
engine oil. If engine oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any
clothing or rags if wet with oil, recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters.
 Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly
during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.

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.

Performance Diagnosis
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.
Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.
Ambient temperature is within 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure
valve (2) of manifold gauge set (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5), and connect low pressure charging hose
(6) to low pressure service valve (7).
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (4), (6) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge set (3), utilizing the refrig-
erant pressure. When a hissing sound is heard, immediately
tighten nut.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine
coolant temperature at 80 – 90 °C (176 – 194 °F)) and keep
it at specified idle speed. (Radiator cooling fan should not be
working when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A/C switch ON, and set blower switch at “HI” (3rd posi-
tion), temperature knob at “COOL” air outlet control knob at
“FACE” and fresh / circulation control knob at “CIRCULA-
TION”. (Confirm that A/C compressor and radiator / con-
denser cooling fan are working.)
Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.

7) With dry bulb thermometer (1) inserted into center duct air
outlet and another one set near evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
Ambient temperature 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F)
Engine rpm Keep to 1,500 rpm.
