OUTSIDE VEHICLE GENERAL MAINTENANCE



  1. GENERAL NOTES


    • Maintenance requirements vary depending on the country.

    • Check the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual supplement.

    • Following the maintenance schedule is mandatory.

    • Determine the appropriate time to service the vehicle using either miles driven or months elapsed, whichever reaches the specification first.

    • Maintain similar intervals between periodic maintenance, unless otherwise noted.

    • Failing to check each vehicle part could lead to poor engine performance and increase exhaust emissions.

  2. TIRES


    1. Check the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.

      Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.

      Tire runout
      1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) or less

  3. WHEEL NUTS


    1. Check for nuts that are loose or missing. Tighten them if necessary.

  4. TIRE ROTATION

      *A w/ Spare Tire
      *B w/o Spare Tire
      *a Front of the Vehicle

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      140 N*m  { 1428 kgf*cm, 103 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      When a tire rotation is performed on a vehicle that has different specified tire pressures for the front and rear of the vehicle, it is necessary to perform initialization for the tire pressure warning system Click here.

  5. WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES


    1. Check the blades for wear or cracks whenever they are unable to wipe the windshield clean. Replace them if necessary.

  6. FLUID LEAK


    1. Check under the vehicle for leaking fuel, oil, water and other fluids.

      Note

      If you smell gasoline fumes or notice any leaks, locate the cause and correct it.

  7. DOORS AND ENGINE HOOD


    1. Check that all of the doors and the hood operate smoothly and that all the latches lock securely.

    2. When the primary latch is released, check that the engine hood secondary latch prevents the hood from opening.
