Final Inspection for Maintenance ServiceS7RS0B0206034
WARNING!
When carrying out road tests, select a safe
place where no man or no running vehicle is
seen so as to prevent any accident.

Seats
Check that seat slides smoot hly and locks securely at
any position. Also check that reclining mechanism of
front seat back allows it to be locked at any angle.
Seat Belt
Inspect belt system including webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors and anchors for damage or wear.
Check that seat belt is securely locked. If “REPLACE
BELT” label on seat belt is visible, replace belt.
Battery Electrolyte Level Check
Check that the electrolyte le vel of all battery cells is
between the upper and lower level lines on the case. If
battery is equipped with built-in indicator, check battery
condition by the indicator. Accelerator Pedal Operation
Check that pedal operates
smoothly without getting
caught or interfered by any other part.
Engine Start
Check engine start for readiness.
WARNING!
Before performing th e following check, be
sure to have enough room around the
vehicle. Then, firmly apply both the parking
brake and the regular brakes. Do not use the
accelerator pedal. If the engine starts, be
ready to turn off the ignition promptly. Take
these precautions because the vehicle could
move without warning and possibly cause
personal injury or property damage.

On automatic transaxle vehicles, try to start the engine in
each select lever position. The starting motor should
crank only in “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral).
On manual transaxle vehicles, place the shift lever in
“Neutral,” depress clutch pedal fully and try to start.
On Automated Manual Transaxl e vehicles, try to start
the engine in each select le ver position. The starting
motor should crank only when select lever is in “N”
(Neutral) and brake pedal is depressed.
Exhaust System Check
Check for leakage, cracks or loose supports.
Clutch (for Manual Transaxle)
Check for the following.
• Clutch is completely released when depressing clutch pedal,
• No slipping clutch occurs when releasing pedal and accelerating.
• Clutch itself is free fr om any abnormal condition.
Gearshift or Select Lever (Transaxle)
Check gear shift or select lever for smooth shifting to all
positions and for good performance of transaxle in any
position.
With automatic transaxle or Automated Manual
Transaxle equipped vehicle, also check that shift
indicator indicates properly according to which position
select lever is shifted to.
With automatic transaxle equipped vehicle, make sure
that vehicle is at complete stop when shifting select lever
to “P” range position and release all brakes.
