Brake
Foot brake
Check the following:
• that brake pedal has proper travel,
• that brake works properly,
• that it is free from noise,
• that vehicle does not pull to one side when brake is applied.
• and that brake do not drag.
Parking brake
Check that lever has proper travel.
WARNING!
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope,
make sure nothing is in the way downhill to
avoid any personal injury or property
damage. Be prepared to apply regular brake
quickly even if vehicle should start to move.

Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective
when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and brake
lever is pulled all the way.
Steering
• Check to ensure that steering wheel is free from instability, or abnormally heavy feeling. • Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to one
side.
Engine
• Check that engine responds readily at all speeds.
• Check that engine is free from abnormal noise and abnormal vibration.
Body, Wheels and Power Transmitting System
Check that body, wheels and power transmitting system
are free from abnormal noise and abnormal vibration or
any other abnormal condition.
Meters and Gauge
Check that speedometer, odometer, fuel meter,
temperature gauge, etc. are operating accurately.
Lights
Check that all lights operate properly.
Windshield Defroster
Periodically check that ai r comes out from defroster
outlet when operating heater or air conditioning.

Engine Cooling System
General Description
Cooling System DescriptionS7RS0B1601001
The cooling system consists of the radiator cap, radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses, water pump, cooling fan and
thermostat. The radiator is of tube-and-fin type.
Coolant DescriptionS7RS0B1601002
WARNING!
• Do not remove radiator cap to check engine coolant level; check coolant visually at the see-through coolant reservoir. Coolant should be added only to reservoir as necessary.
• As long as there is pressure in the cooling system, the temperature can be considerably higher than the boiling temperature of the solution in the radiator without causing the solution to boil. Removal
of the radiator cap while engine is hot and pressure is high will cause the solution to boil
instantaneously and possibly with explosive force, spewing the solution over engine, fenders and
person removing cap. If the solution contains flammable anti-freeze such as alcohol (not
recommended for use at any time), there is also the possibility of causing a serious fire.
• Check to make sure that engine coolant temperature is cold before removing any part of cooling system.
• Also be sure to disconnect negative cable from battery terminal before removing any part.

The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the coolant is overflowed
to the reservoir.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has be en filled with a quality coolant that is a 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol
antifreeze.
This 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.
• Coolant must be mixed with deminerated water or distilled water.

Coolant Level CheckS7RS0B1606002
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 pressure if radiator
cap is taken off too soon.

To check level, lift hood and look at “see-through”
coolant 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 mark
(2) and LOW mark (3) on reservoir (1).
If coolant level is below LOW mark (3), remove reservoir
cap (4) and add proper coolant to reservoir to bring
coolant level up to FULL mark (2).
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, and
are unnecessary expense.

Engine Cooling System Inspection and
Cleaning
S7RS0B1606003
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 pressure if cap is
taken off too soon.

1) Check cooling system for leakage or damage.
2) Wash radiator cap and fille r neck with clean water by
removing radiator cap when engine is cold.
3) Check coolant for proper level and freeze protection.
4) Using a pressure tester (1), check system and radiator cap (2) for proper pressure holding capacity.
If replacement of cap is required, use a proper cap
for this vehicle.
NOTE
After installing radiator cap to radiator, make
sure that the ear of cap lines is parallel to
radiator.

Cooling system and radiator cap holding
pressure (for inspection)
110 kPa (1.1 kg/cm2, 15.6 psi)
5) Tighten hose clamps and inspect all hoses. Replace hoses whenever cracked, swollen or otherwise
deteriorated.
6) Clean frontal area of radiator core.
Cooling System DrainingS7RS0B1606004
1) Remove radiator cap.
2) Drain coolant from radiator drain plug (1).
3) After draining coolant, be sure to tighten drain plug (1) securely.

Cooling System Flush and RefillS7RS0B1606005
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 pressure if cap is
taken off too soon.

NOTE
For detail of coolant specification, refer to
“Coolant Description”.

1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool as follows.a) Turn cap counterclockwise slowly until it reaches a “stop” (Do not press down while turning it).
b) Wait until pressure is relieved (indicated by a hissing sound) then press down on cap and
continue to turn it counterclockwise.
2) With radiator cap removed, run engine until upper radiator hose is hot (this shows that thermostat is
open and coolant is flowing through system).
3) Stop engine and drain coolant from radiator drain plug (1).
4) Close radiator drain plug. Add water until system is filled and run engine until up per radiator hose is hot
again.
5) Repeat Steps 3) and 4) several times until drained liquid is nearly colorless.
6) Close radiator drain plug (1) tightly. 7) Remove reservoir (1) and remove cap (2) from
reservoir (1).
8) Pour out any fluid, scrub and clean inside of reservoir with soap and water.
Flush it well with clean water and drain, Reinstall
reservoir.
9) Fill reservoir with coolant up to “Full” level mark (3).
10) Install reservoir cap (2) on reservoir. 11) Fill radiator with coolant up to bottom of radiator filler neck and install radiator cap, making sure that the
ear of cap lines is parallel to radiator.
12) Run engine at idle speed.
13) Run engine until radiator fan motor is operated.
14) Stop engine and wait until engine comes cooled down to help avoid danger of being burned.
15) Add coolant to radiator up to bottom of radiator filler
neck, and install radiator ca p, making sure that the
ear of cap lines is parallel to radiator.
16) Repeat Step 12) through 15).
17) Confirm that reservoir cool ant level is “Full” level
mark (3). If coolant is insu fficient, repeat Step 9) and
10).
