GENERAL – How to Use This Manual 00-2 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL 00100010210 SCOPE OF MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND SERVICING EXPLANATIONS This manual provides explanations, etc. concerning procedures for the inspection, maintenance, repair and servicing of the subject model. Note, however, that for engine and transmission-related component parts, this manual covers only on-vehicle inspections, adjustments, and the removal and installation procedures for major components. For detailed information concerning the inspection, checking, adjustment, disassembly and reassembly of the engine, transmission and major components after they have been removed from the vehicle, please refer to separate manuals covering the engine and the transmission. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE “On-vehicle Service” is procedures for performing inspections and adjustments of particularly important locations with regard to the construction and for maintenance and servicing, but other inspection (for looseness, play, cracking, damage, etc.) must also be performed. INSPECTION Under this title are presented inspection and checking procedures to be performed by using special tools and measuring instruments and by feeling, but, for actual maintenance and servicing procedures, visual inspections should always be performed as well. DEFINITION OF TERMS STANDARD VALUE Indicates the value used as the standard for judging the quality of a part or assembly on inspection or the value to which the part or assembly is corrected and adjusted. It is given by tolerance. LIMIT Shows the standard for judging the quality of a part or assembly on inspection and means the maximum or minimum value within which the part or assembly must be kept functionally or in strength. It is a value established outside the range of standard value. REFERENCE VALUE Indicates the adjustment value prior to starting the work (presented in order to facilitate assembly and adjustment procedures, and so they can be completed in a shorter time). CAUTION Indicates the presentation of information particularly vital to the worker during the performance of maintenance and servicing procedures in order to avoid the possibility of injury to the worker, or damage to component parts, or a reduction of component or vehicle function or performance, etc. INDICATION OF TIGHTENING TORQUE The tightening torque shown in this manual is a basic value with a tolerance of ±10% except the following cases when the upper and lower limits of tightening torque are given. (1) The tolerance of the basic value is within ±10%. (2) Special bolts or the like are in use. (3) Special tightening methods are used.

Indicates (by symbols) where lubrication is necessary. Maintenance and Servicing Procedures The numbers provided within the diagram indicate the sequence for maintenance and servicing procedures. D Removal steps: The part designation number corresponds to the number in the illustration to indicate removal steps. D Disassembly steps: The part designation number corresponds to the number in the illustration to indicate disassembly steps. D Installation steps: Specified in case installation is impossible in reverse order of removal steps. Omitted if installation is possible in reverse order of removal steps. D Reassembly steps: Specified in case reassembly is impossible in reverse order of disassembly steps. Omitted if reassemby is possible in reverse order of disassembly steps. Classifications of Major Maintenance/Service Points When there are major points relative to maintenance and servicing procedures (such as essential maintenance and service points, maintenance and service standard values, information regarding the use of special tools, etc.), these are ar- ranged together as major maintenance and service points and explained in detail. AA" : Indicates that there are essential points for removal or disassembly. "AA : Indicates that there are essential points for installation or reassembly. Symbols for Lubrication, Sealants and Adhesives Information concerning the locations for lubrication and for application of sealants and adhesives is provided, by using symbols, in the diagram of component parts or on the page following the component parts page, and explained. : Grease (multipurpose grease unless there is a brand or type specified) : Sealant or adhesive : Brake fluid or automatic transmission fluid : Engine oil, gear oil or air conditioner compressor oil : Adhesive tape or butyl rubber tape Component Diagram A diagram of the component parts is provided near the front of each section in order to give a reader a better under- standing of the installed condition of component parts.
