I -Inspect these items and their related parts. If necessary, correct, clean, replenish, adjust or replace.
R - Replace or change:
(1) If a vehicle is operated under severe conditions : short distance driving, extensive idling or driving in dusty conditions, change engine oil and the filter every 7,500
km (5,000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first.
(2) Inspect the air cleaner element every 7,500 km (5,000 miles) or 6 months if under dusty driving condition. If necessary, correct, clean, or replace.
(3) Refer to "Recommended Fluids And Lubricants"
(4) Inspect the engine coolant every 1 year or 15,000 km (10,000 miles) and replace it every 5 years or 240,000 km (150,000 miles).
(5) Replace every 160,000 km (100,000 miles).
(6) Inspect every 30,000 km or 2 years and replace every 160,000km.
But replace every 60,000km (36,000 miles) if the vehicle is mainly driven under severe conditions:
(6) More frequent maintenance is required if under severe conditions : short distance driving, extensive idling frequent low-speed operation in stop and go traffic or
driving in dusty conditions.
(7) Tire condition should be inspected before driving and tire pressure should be checked each time you fill your fuel tank or at least once a month using a tire pressure
gauge.
(8) If necessary, rotate and balance wheels.
(9) The transaxle fluid change is not required. Also, routine inspection of the fluid is not required. Transaxle fluid inspection is only required if there is a symptom
indicating a concern with the fluid.

Horn Operation
Blow the horn occasionally to make sure it works. Check all the button locations.
Headlight Aim
Take note of the light pattern occasionally. Adjust the headlights if the beams seem improperly aimed.
1. After stopping the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain back to the oil pan.
2. Pull out the oil level indicator (dip stick).
3. Wipe it clean, and push the oil level indicator back down all the way.
4. Pull out the oil level indicator and look at the oil level on it.
5. 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.
6. 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.
At Least Monthly
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.
Weather-Strip Lubrication
Apply a thin film silicone grease using a clean cloth.

Manual Transaxle
Check the oil level and add oil as required. Refer to Section 5B, Manual Transaxle.
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 and chafing, etc. Clean and inspect the drive axle boot and seals for damage, tears, or leakage. Replace
the seals if necessary.
At Least Annually
On automatic transaxle vehicles, try to start the engine in each gear. The starter should crank only in P (PARK) and in N (NEUTRAL).
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.

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 complete, make a final check to be sure service was done properly and the problem was corrected.

Notice : To raise the vehicle, place the lifting equipment only at the points indicated. Failure to use these precise positions may result in permanent body
deformation.
Notice : Many dealer service facilities and service stations are equipped with automotive hoists that bear upon some parts of the frame to lift the vehicle. If
any other hoist method is used, use special care to avoid damaging the fuel thank, the filler neck, the exhaust system, or the underbody.
Caution : If your vehicle is equipped with side body kit, remove the side body kit low cover when using car lift.
