Steering System InspectionS7RS0B0206024
1) Check steering wheel for play and rattle, holding vehicle straight on ground.
Steering wheel play
“a”: 0 – 30 mm (0 – 1.1 in.)
2) Check bolts and nuts for tightness and retighten  them as necessary. Repair or replace defective 
parts, if any.
3) Check steering linkage for looseness and damage.  Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
4) Check boots (1) and (2) of steering linkage and  steering gear case for damage (leak, detachment, 
tear, etc.). If damage is fo und, replace defective boot 
with new one.
If any dent is found on steering gear case boots, 
correct it to original shape by turning steering wheel 
to the right or left as far as it stops and holding it for a 
few seconds.
5) Check universal joints (3) of steering shaft for rattle  and damage. If rattle or damage is found, replace 
defective part with a new one.
6) Check that steering wheel  can be turned fully to the 
right and left. Repair or replace defective parts, if 
any.
7) If equipped with power steering system, check also,  in addition to check items, that steering wheel can be 
turned fully to the right and left more lightly when 
engine is running at idle speed than when it is 
stopped. Repair, if found faulty.
8) Check wheel alignment referring to “Front Wheel  Alignment Inspection and Adjustment in Section 2B”.
Drive Shaft (Axle) Boots InspectionS7RS0B0206025
Check drive shaft boots (wheel side and differential side) 
for leaks, detachment, tear or other damage.
Replace defective parts as necessary.
Manual Transaxle Oil InspectionS7RS0B0206026
1) Inspect transaxle case for evidence of oil leakage. Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is  placed level for oil level 
check.
3) Remove oil filler/leve l plug (1) of transaxle.
4) Check oil level. Oil level can be  checked roughly by means of filler/
level plug hole. That is, if  oil flows out of level plug 
hole or if oil level is found  up to hole when level plug 
is removed, oil is properly filled.
If oil is found insufficient, po ur specified oil up to level 
hole. For specified oil, refe r to “Manual Transaxle Oil 
Change in Section 5B”.
5) Apply sealant to filler/leve l plug and tighten it to 
specified torque.
Manual Transaxle Oil ReplacementS7RS0B0206027
Change transaxle oil with new  specified oil referring to 
“Manual Transaxle Oil Change in Section 5B”.

Installation in Section 7B” or “Compressor Assembly 
Removal and Installa tion in Section 7B”.
16) Adjust A/C compressor belt tension (if equipped)  referring to “Compressor Drive Belt Inspection and 
Adjustment in Section 7B”  or “Compressor Drive Belt 
Inspection and Adjustment in Section 7B”.
17) Check to ensure that a ll removed parts are back in 
place.
Reinstall any necessary parts which have not been 
reinstalled.
18) Refill cooling system with coolant referring to  “Cooling System Flush and Refill in Section 1F”. 19) Refill engine with engine oil 
referring to “Engine Oil 
and Filter Change in Section 0B”.
20) Refill transaxle with transa xle oil referring to“Manual 
Transaxle Oil Change in Section 5B” or “A/T Fluid 
Change in Section 5A”.

• Inspect for deformation or damage.
• Inspect bushings for wear or damage.
• Inspect for evidence of oil leakage.
Replace any defective parts.
WARNING! 
When handling rear shock absorber (1) in 
which high-pressure gas is sealed, make 
sure to observe the following precautions.
• Don’t disassemble it.
• Don’t put it into the fire.
• Don’t store it where it gets hot.
• Before disposing it, be sure to drill a hole  (approximately 3 mm (0.12 in.) diameter) 
(2) in it where indicated by arrow in the 
figure and let gas and oil out.
Be sure to wear eye shield since the gas 
itself is harmless but the absorber drill 
hole debris maybe blown out.

Precautions
Precaution for Emergency Flat Tire Repair KitS7RS0B2400001
WARNING! 
Flat tire repair sealant including in kit is 
harmful. Be sure to observe the following. 
Otherwise, your health may be ruined.
• If swallowed, get medical attention  immediately.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Select place where there is good  ventilation for this work.
• If it enters eye or contacts skin, wash  thoroughly with water. If anything 
abnormal still rema ins, get medical 
attention immediately.
• Do not discard tire containing sealant as it  is. Make sure to remove sealant from tire, 
referring to “Tire Repair for Emergency 
Repaired-Tire with Sealant”.
• Dispose of sealant as waste oil.
 
CAUTION! 
• When tire repaired with Emergency Flat  Tire Repair Kit is brought in, remove flat 
tire repair sealant from tire and repair flat 
tire referring to “Tire Repair for Emergency 
Repaired-Tire with Sealant”.
• Sealant expiration date is printed on bottle  label. if it expires, sealant should be 
replaced with a new one to ensure 
emergency flat tire repair.
 
General Description
Tires DescriptionS7RS0B2401001
The tire is of tubeless type. The tire is designed to 
operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load 
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation 
pressures.
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.
Tire Placard
The “Tire Placard” is located on the left or right door lock 
pillar and should be referred to tire  information.
The placard lists the maximum load, tire size and cold 
tire pressure where applicable.
NOTE
Whether rim size and/or maximum load are 
listed or not depends on regulations of each 
country.
 
Inflation of Tires
The pressure recommended for any model is carefully 
calculated to give a satisfacto ry ride, stability, steering, 
tread wear, tire life and resistance to bruises.
Tire pressure, with tires cold,  (after vehicle has set for 3 
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 left 
door lock pillar.
It is normal for tire pressure  to increase when the tires 
become hot during driving.
Do not bleed or reduce tire pressure after driving. 
Bleeding reduces the “Cold Inflation Pressure”.
Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
• Hard ride
• Tire bruising or carcass damage
• Rapid tread wear at center of tire
Unequal pressure on same axle can cause:
• Uneven braking
• Steering lead
• Reduced handling
• Swerve on acceleration
