- General notes
- Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner’s manual supplement in which the maintenance schedule is shown.
- Every service item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.
- Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic maintenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).
- Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless otherwise noted.
- Failure to do even one item an cause the engine to run poorly and increase exhaust emissions.
- Windshield washer fluid
Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank. - Engine coolant level
Check that the coolant level is between the ”FULL” and ”LOW” lines on the see-through reservoir. - Radiator and hoses
- Check that the front of the radiator is clean and not blocked with leaves, dirt or bugs.
- Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rot or loose connections.
- Battery electrolyte level
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upper and lower level lines on the case. - Brake and clutch fluid levels
Check that the brake and clutch fluid levels are near the upper level line on the see-through reservoirs. - Engine drive belt
Check drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear or oil contamination. - Engine oil level
Check the level on the dipstick with the engine turned off. - Power steering fluid level
- Check the level on the dipstick.
- The level should be in the ”HOT” or ”COLD” range depending on the fluid temperature.
- Automatic transmission fluid level
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- With the engine idling and the parking brake applied, shift the selector into all positions from ”P” to ”L”, and then shift into ”P” position.
- Pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid with a clean rag. Re-insert the dipstick and check that the fluid level is in the HOT range.
- Do this check with the fluid at normal driving temperature (70 - 80°C, 158 - 176°F).
Wait until the engine cools down (approx. 30 min.) before checking the fluid level after extended driving at high speeds, in hot weather, in heavy traffic or pulling a trailer. - Exhaust system
If any change in the sound of the exhaust or smell of the exhaust fumes is noticed, have the cause located and corrected.
