Precautions For Catalytic Converter
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use only unleaded gasoline and be careful not to let a
large amount of unburned gasoline enter the converter or it can be damaged.
 Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary, make it as short as possible, and do not open the
throttle.
 Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest possible time.
 Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g. starting the engine when the fuel tank is
nearly empty.)
Precautions For Electrical Circuit Service
 When replacing a fuse, make sure to use a fuse of the
specified capacity. Use of a fuse with a larger capacity
will cause a damage to the electrical parts and a fire.
 When disconnecting and connecting coupler, make sure
to turn ignition switch OFF, or electronic parts may get
damaged.
 When disconnecting connectors, never pull the wiring
harnesses. Unlock the connector lock first and then pull
them apart by holding connectors themselves.

General Description
Tires
This vehicle is equipped with following tire.
Tire size
: 205/70 R15 or 175/80 R15
The tires are of tubeless type. The tires are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation pressure.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an important influence on tire life Heavy cornering, excessively
rapid acceleration, and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
Wheels
Standard equipment wheels are following steel wheels.
15 x 5 1/2 JJ
Replacement Tires
When replacement is necessary, the original equipment type tire should be used. Refer to the Tire Placard.
Replacement tires should be of the same size, load range and construction as those originally on the vehicle.
Use of any other size or type tire may affect ride, handling, speedometer / odometer calibration, vehicle ground
clearance and tire or snow chain clearance to the body and chassis.
It is recommended that new tires be installed in pairs on the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it
should be paired with the tire having the most tread, to equalize braking traction.
The metric term for tire inflation pressure is the kilopascal (kPa).
Tire pressures will usually be printed in both kPa and psi on the
Tire Placard. Metric tire gauges are available from tool suppliers.
The following chart, converts commonly used inflation pressures
from kPa to psi. WARNING:
Do not mix different types of tires on the same vehicle such as radial, bias and bias-belted tires except
in emergencies, because vehicle handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control.

Replacement Wheels
Wheels must be replaced if they are bent, dented, have excessive
lateral or radial runout, leak air through welds, have elongated
bolt holes, if lug nuts won’t stay tight, or if they are heavily rusted.
Wheels with greater runout than shown in “How to Measure
Wheel Runout” may cause objectional vibrations.
Wheels for replacement must be equivalent to the originally
equipped wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim width, off-set and
mounting configuration. A wheel of improper size or type may
affect wheel and bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer / odom-
eter calibration, ground clearance to the body and chassis.
How To Measure Wheel Runout
To measure the wheel runout, it is necessary to use accurate dial
indicator. The tire may be on or off the wheel. The wheel should
be installed to the wheel balancer of the like for proper measure-
ment.Take measurements of both lateral runout (1) and radial
runout (2) at both inside and outside of the rim flange. With dial
indicator set in place securely, turn the wheel one full revolution
slowly and record every reading of the indicator.
When the measured runout exceeds the specification and correc-
tion by the balancer adjustment is impossible, replace the wheel.
If the reading is affected by welding, paint or scratch, it should be
ignored.
Lateral runout limit
“a” : 1.20 mm (0.047 in.)
Radial runout limit
“b” : 1.20 mm (0.047 in.)
Metric Lug Nuts and Wheel Studs
All models use metric lug nuts and wheel studs.
Metric lug nuts and wheel studs size
: M12 x 1.25

FUEL TANK LEVEL (%)
This parameter indicates approximate fuel level in the fuel tank. As the detectable range of the fuel level sensor
is set as 0 to 100%, however, with some models whose fuel tank capacity is smaller, the indicated fuel level may
be only 70% even when the fuel tank is full.
PNP SIGNAL (PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SIGNAL, P/N RANGE or D RANGE)
It is detected by signal from TCM.
D range : A/T is in “R”, “D”, “2” or “L” range.
P/N range : A/T is in “P” or “N” range or the above signal is not inputted from TCM.
EGR VALVE (%)
This parameter indicates opening rate of EGR valve which controls the amount of EGR flow.
PSP SW
The Power Steering Pressure switch parameter displays ON when steering wheel is turned all the way to the
right or left.

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.

Coolant Level
To check level, look at “see-through” reservoir.
It is not necessary to remove radiator cap to check coolant level.
When engine is cool, check coolant level in reservoir (1).
A normal coolant level should be between “FULL” (2) and “LOW”
(3) marks on reservoir (1).
If coolant level is below “LOW” mark, remove reservoir cap and
add proper coolant to reservoir to bring coolant level up to “FULL”
mark. Then, reinstall cap.
Cooling System Service
Cooling system should be serviced as follows.
1) Check cooling system for leakage or damage.
2) Wash radiator cap and filler neck with clean water by remov-
ing radiator cap when engine is cold.
3) Check coolant for proper level and freeze protection.
4) Using a pressure tester, check system and radiator cap for
proper pressure holding capacity 1.1 kg/cm
2 (15.6 psi, 110
kPa). If replacement of cap is required, use proper cap spec-
ified for this vehicle. WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned:
Do not remove reservoir cap while coolant is “boiling”,
and
Do not remove radiator cap while engine and radiator
are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if either cap is taken off too soon.
NOTE:
If proper quality antifreeze is used, there is no need to
add extra inhibitors or additives that claim to improve
system. They may be harmful to proper operation of
system.
When installing reservoir cap, set arrow marks (4) on
the reservoir and cap as the figure.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if cap is taken off too soon.

General Description
Battery
The battery has three major functions in the electrical system.
It is a source of electrical energy for cranking the engine.
It acts as a voltage stabilizer for the electrical system.
It can, for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical
load exceeds the output of the generator.
CARRIER AND HOLD-DOWN
The battery carrier should be in good condition so that it will sup-
port the battery securely and keep it level.
Before installing the battery, the battery carrier and hold-down
clamp should be clean and free from corrosion and make certain
there are no parts in carrier.
To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, the hold-down
bolts should be tight enough but not over-tightened.
ELECTROLYTE FREEZING
The freezing point of electrolyte depends on its specific gravity.
Since freezing may ruin a battery, it should be protected against
freezing by keeping it in a fully charged condition. If a battery is
frozen accidentally, it should not be charged until it is warmed.
SULFATION
If the battery is allowed to stand for a long period in discharged
condition, the lead sulfate becomes converted into a hard, crystal-
line substance, which will not easily turn back to the active mate-
rial again during the subsequent recharging. “Sulfation” means
the result as well as the process of that reaction.
Such a battery can be revived by very slow charging and may be
restored to usable condition but its capacity is lower than before.
