MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Normal Vehicle Use

The maintenance instructions contained in the maintenance schedule are based on the assumption that the vehicle will be used for the following reasons:

To carry passengers and cargo within the limitation indicated on the tire placard.
To be driven on reasonable road surfaces and within legal operating limits.

Explanation of Scheduled Maintenance Services

The services listed in the maintenance schedule are further explained below. When the following maintenance services are performed, make sure all the parts are replaced and all the necessary repairs are done before driving the vehicle. Always use the proper fluid and lubricants.

Drive Belt Inspection

When a separate belt drives the power steering pump, the air conditioning compressor and the generator, inspect it for cracks, fraying, wear and proper tension. Adjust or replace the belt as needed.

Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change

API Classifications of Engine Oil

The International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) and American Petroleum Institute classifies engine oils according to their performance quality. Always use oil rated API-SL (ILSAC GF-III) or better.

Engine Oil Viscosity

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operation. Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance; however, higher temperature weather conditions require higher viscosity engine oils for satisfactory lubrication. Using oils of any viscosity other than those viscosities recommended could result in engine damage.

Cooling System Service

Drain, flush and refill the system with new coolant. Refer to "Recommended Fluids And Lubricants" in this section.

Fuel Micro-Filter Replacement

Replace the engine fuel filter every 45,000 km (30,000 miles).

Air Cleaner Element Replacement

Replace the air cleaner element every 45,000 km (30,000 miles).

Replace the air cleaner more often under dusty conditions.

Throttle Body Mounting Bolt Torque (1.2L DOHC)

Check the torque of the mounting bolts.

Tighten the throttle body mounting bolts to 10.5 N•m (7.7 lb-ft) if necessary.

Spark Plug Replacement

Replace spark plugs with the same type.

Spark Plug Wire Replacement

Clean wires and inspect them for burns, cracks or other damage. Check the wire boot fit at the DIS module and at the spark plugs. Replace the wires as needed.

Brake System Service

Check the disc brake pads and the drum brake linings every 15,000 km (10,000 miles) or 12 months. Check the pad and the lining thickness carefully. If the pads or the linings are not expected to last to the next scheduledmaintenance service, replace the pads or the linings. Check the breather hole in the brake fluid reservoir cap to be sure it is free from dirt and the passage is open.

Transaxle Service

The manual transaxle fluid does not require changing. For automatic transaxles, refer to "Scheduled Maintenance Charts" in this section.

Tire and Wheel Inspection and Rotation

Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. To equalize wear and obtain maximum tire life, rotate the tires. If irregular or premature wear exists, check the wheel alignment and check for damaged wheels. While the tires and wheels are removed, inspect the brakes. Refer to "Each Time The Oil Is Changed" in this section.

OWNER INSPECTIONS AND SERVICES

While Operating The Vehicle

Horn Operation

Blow the horn occasionally tomake sure it works. Check all the button locations.

Brake System Operation

Be alert for abnormal sounds, increased brake pedal travel or repeated pulling to one side when braking. Also, if the brake warning light goes on, or flashes, something may be wrong with part of the brake system.

Exhaust System Operation

Be alert to any changes in the sound of the system or the smell of the fumes. These are signs that the system may be leaking or overheating. Have the system inspected and repaired immediately.

Tires,Wheels and Alignment Operation

Be alert to any vibration of the steering wheel or the seats at normal highway speeds. This may mean a wheel needs to be balanced. Also, a pull right or left on a straight, level road may show the need for a tire pressure adjustment or a wheel alignment.

Steering System Operation

Be alert to changes in the steering action. An inspection is needed when the steering wheel is hard to turn or has too much free play, or if unusual sounds are noticed when turning or parking.

Headlight Aim

Take note of the light pattern occasionally. Adjust the headlights if the beams seem improperly aimed.

At Each Fuel Fill

A fluid loss in any (except windshield washer) system may indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired immediately.

Engine Oil Level

Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. The best time to check the engine oil level is when the oil is warm.

After stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back to the oil pan.
Pull out the oil level indicator (dip stick).
Wipe it clean, and push the oil level indicator back down all the way.
Pull out the oil level indicator and look at the oil level on it.
Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above the MIN line and within the area labeled "Operating Range." Avoid overfilling the engine, since this may cause engine damage.
Push the indicator all the way back down into the engine after taking the reading.

If you check the oil level when the oil is cold, do not run the engine first. The cold oil will not drain back to the pan fast enough to give a true oil level reading.

Engine Coolant Level and Condition

Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir tank and add coolant if necessary. Inspect the coolant. Replace dirty or rusty coolant.

Windshield Washer Fluid Level

Check the washer fluid level in the reservoir. Add fluid if necessary.

At least Monthly

Tire And Wheel Inspection and Pressure Check

Check the tires for abnormal wear or damage. Also check for damaged wheels. Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold (check the spare also, unless it is a stowaway). Maintain the recommended pressures that are on the tire placard.

Light Operation

Check the operation of the license plate light, the headlights (including the high beams), the parking lights, the fog lights, the taillight, the brake lights, the turn signals, the backup lights and the hazard warning flasher.

Fluid Leak Check

Periodically inspect the surface beneath the vehicle for water, oil, fuel or other fluids, after the vehicle has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioning system after use is normal. If you notice fuel leaks or fumes, find the cause and correct it at once.

At least Twice a Year

Power Steering System Reservoir Level

Check the power steering fluid level. Keep the power steering fluid at the proper level. Refer to Section 6A, Power Steering System.

Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Level

Check the fluid and keep it at the proper level. A low fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be serviced. Check the breather hole in the reservoir cover to be free from dirt and check for an open passage.

Clutch Pedal Free Travel

Check clutch pedal free travel and adjust as necessary. Measure the distance from the center of the clutch pedal to the outer edge of the steering wheel with the clutch pedal not depressed. Then measure the distance from the center of the clutch pedal to the outer edge of the steering wheel with the clutch pedal fully depressed. The difference between the two values must be greater than 130 mm (5.19 inches).

Weather-Strip Lubrication

Apply a thin film silicone grease using a clean cloth.

Each Time The Oil is Changed

Automatic Transaxle Fluid

Refer to 81-40LE fluid level service procedure of Section 5A, AISIN Automatic Transaxle.

Manual Transaxle

Check the fluid level and add fluid as required. Refer to Section 5B, Five-Speed Manual Transaxle.

Brake System Inspection

This inspection should be done when the wheels are removed for rotation. Inspect the lines and the hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect the disc brake pads for wear. Inspect the rotors for surface condition. Also inspect the drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including the drums, the wheels cylinders, the parking brake, etc., at the same time. Check the parking brake adjustment. Inspect the brakes more often if habit or conditions result in frequent braking.

Steering, Suspension and Front Drive Axle Boot And Seal Inspection

Inspect the front and rear suspension and the steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering lines and the hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and inspect the drive axle boot and seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace the seals if necessary.

Exhaust System Inspection

Inspect the complete system (including the catalytic converter if equipped). Inspect the body near the exhaust system. Look for broken, damaged, missing, or out-of-position parts as well as open seams, holes, loose connections, or other conditions which could cause heat buildup in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes seep into the trunk or passenger compartment.

Throttle Linkage Inspection

Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding, damaged, or missing parts. Lubricate all linkage joints and throttle cable joints, the intermediate throttle shaft bearing, the return spring at throttle valve assembly, and the accelerator pedal sliding face with suitable grease. Check the throttle cable for free movements.

Engine Drive Belts

Inspect all belts for cracks, fraying, wear and proper tension. Adjust or replace the belts as needed.

Hood Latch Operation

When opening the hood, note the operation of the secondary latch. It should keep the hood from opening all the way when the primary latch is released. The hood must close firmly.

At Least Annually

Lap and Shoulder Belts Condition and Operation

Inspect the belt system including: the webbing, the buckles, the latch plates, the retractor, the guide loops and the anchors.

Movable Head Restraint Operation

On vehicles with movable head restraints, the restraints must stay in the desired position.

Spare Tire and Jack Storage

Be alert to rattles in the rear of the vehicle. The spare tire, all the jacking equipment, and the tools must be securely stowed at all times. Oil the jack ratchet or the screw mechanism after each use.

Key Lock Service

Lubricate the key lock cylinder.

Body Lubrication Service

Lubricate all the body door hinges including the hood, the fuel door, the rear compartment hinges and the latches, the glove box and the console doors, and any folding seat hardware.

Transaxle Neutral Switch Operation on Automatic Transaxle

Caution : Take the following precautions because the vehicle could move without warning and possibly cause personal injury or property damage:

Firmly apply the parking brake and the regular brakes.
Do not use the accelerator pedal.
Be ready to promptly turn off the ignition if the vehicle starts.

On automatic transaxle vehicles, try to start the engine in each gear. The starter should crank only in P (Park) or N (Neutral).

Parking Brake and Transaxle P (Park) Mechanism Operation

Caution : In order to reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, be prepared to apply the regular brakes promptly if the vehicle begins to move.

Park on a fairly steep hill with enough room for movement in the downhill direction. To check the parking brake, with the engine running and the transaxle in N (Neutral), slowly remove foot pressure from the regular brake pedal (until only the parking brake is holding the vehicle).

To check the automatic transaxle P (Park) mechanism’s holding ability, release all brakes after shifting the transaxle to P (Park).

Underbody Flushing

Flushing the underbody will remove any corrosive materials used for ice and snow removal and dust control. At least every spring clean the underbody. First, loosen the sediment packed in closed areas of the vehicle. Then flush the underbody with plain water.

Engine Cooling System

Inspect the coolant and freeze protection fluid. If the fluid is dirty or rusty, drain, flush and refill the engine cooling system with new coolant. Keep the coolant at the proper mixture in order to ensure proper freeze protection, corrosion protection and engine operating temperature. Inspect the hoses. Replace the cracked, swollen, or deteriorated hoses. Tighten the clamps. Clean the outside of the radiator and the air conditioning condenser. Wash the filler cap and the neck. Pressure test the cooling system and the cap in order to help ensure proper operation.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SYSTEM OPERATION

General Repair Instructions

If a floor jack is used, the following precautions are recommended.
Park the vehicle on level ground, “block” the front or rear wheels, set the jack against the frame, raise the vehicle and support it with chassis stands and then perform the service operation.
Before performing the service operation, disconnect the negative battery cable in order to reduce the chance of cable damage and burning due to short-circuiting.
Use a cover on the body, the seats and the floor to protect them against damage and contamination.
Handle brake fluid and antifreeze solution with care as they can cause paint damage.
The use of proper tools, and the recommended essential and available tools where specified, are important for efficient and reliable performance of the service repairs.
Use genuine parts.
Discard used cotter pins, gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, lock washers, angle-torqued fastener and self-locking nuts. Prepare new ones for installation. Normal function of these parts cannot be maintained if these parts are reused.
Keep the disassembled parts neatly in groups to facilitate proper and smooth reassembly.
Keep attaching bolts and nuts separated, as they vary in hardness and design depending on the position of the installation.
Clean the parts before inspection or reassembly.
Also clean the oil parts, etc. Use compressed air to make certain they are free of restrictions.
Lubricate rotating and sliding faces of parts with oil or grease before installation.
When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent leakage.
Carefully observe all specifications for bolt and nut torques.
When service operation is completed, make a final check to be sure service was done properly and the problem was corrected.
