Important operation tips for air conditioning 1. Park the vehicle in the shade whenever possible. Parking under the hot sun makes the vehicle interior extremely hot, which requires more time to cool the interior. If it is necessary to park in the sun, open the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expel hot air. 2. Close the windows when the air conditioning is in use. The entry of outside air through open windows will reduce cooling efficiency. 3. When operating the system, make sure the air intake, which is located in front of the windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug the plenum water drains. Air conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recommendations If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. Have the system inspected by your authorized dealer.


246 FOR PLEASANT DRIVING


CAUTION!


The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubri- cant SUN-PAG 56. Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into the atmosphere is not recommended. The new refrigerant (HFC-134a) in your vehicle is designed not to harm the earth’s ozone layer. How- ever, it may slightly contribute to global warming. It is recommended that the refrigerant be recovered and recycled for future use.


During a long period of disuse The air conditioning should be operated for at least five minutes each a week, even in cold weather. This is to maintain lubrication of the compressor internal parts and maintain the air conditioning in the best operating con- dition.


INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES


CAUTION!


Before any electrical or electronic accessories are installed, consult an authorized dealer.


1. Improper installation of an electrical or electronic accessory may cause a fire or electrical problem. It also could result in failure of warranty coverage under the new vehicle limited warranty. 2. When using a communication system such as a cellu- lar phone or a radio set inside the vehicle, be sure to install a separate external antenna. When a cellular phone or a radio set is used by using an internal antenna alone, it might cause failure to the vehicle’s electrical system and could interfere with safe operation of the vehicle.


WARNING!


If you use a cellular phone while driving, keep your attention on your driving, in order to reduce risk of accidents.

248 VEHICLE CARE


In order to maintain the value and good looks of your vehicle, perform regular maintenance using proper ma- terials and procedures. Be sure to use only those materials and procedures that are in compliance with all local environmental pollution control regulations. Carefully select the materials to be used to be sure that they do not contain corrosives; if in doubt, contact an authorized dealer for assistance in the selection of these materials.


CAUTION!


Cleaning products can be dangerous. Some are poi- sonous. Others are highly flammable. Some are dangerous if you breathe their fumes in a closed space. When you use any product to clean your vehicle, be sure to follow the instructions printed on its container. Always open your vehicle doors or windows when you’re cleaning the inside. Never use the following chemicals to clean your vehicle: • Gasoline • Carbon Tetrachloride • Benzine • Naphtha • Acetone • Turpentine • Paint Thinner • Lacquer Thinner • Nail Polish Remover


These can all be dangerous, and can damage your vehicle.


CLEANING THE INSIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE After cleaning the inside of your vehicle with cleaner, wipe it dry in a shady, well ventilated area.


CAUTION!


Do not use organic substances (solvents, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline, etc.) or alkaline or acidic solutions. These chemicals can cause discoloring, staining or cracking of the surface. If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make sure their ingredients do not include the substances men- tioned above.


NOTE: Always read the instructions on the cleaner label. Plastic, vinyl leather, fabric, and flocked parts 1. Lightly wipe with a soft cloth soaked in a 3% solution of neutral detergent and water.


VEHICLE CARE 249


2. After using detergent, dip the cloth in fresh water and wring out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the detergent thoroughly. NOTE: Cleaners, conditioners, and protectants contain- ing silicons or waxes may cause annoying reflections and obscure vision. Upholstery 1. To maintain the value of your new vehicle, maintain the upholstery carefully and keep the interior clean. Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the seats. If stained, vinyl and synthetic leather should be cleaned with an appropriate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with either upholstery cleaner or a 3% solution of neutral detergent in lukewarm water. 2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum cleaner and re- move any stains with carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be removed by lightly dabbing with a clean colorfast cloth and spot remover. NOTE: If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery, draw a suitable defuzzing brush over the surface in one direction.


250 VEHICLE CARE


Genuine leather (if so equipped) 1. Lightly wipe with a soft cloth soaked in a 5% solution of neutral detergent and water. 2. Dip the cloth in fresh water and wring it out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the detergent thoroughly. 3. Apply a leather protecting agent to the genuine leather surface. NOTE 1. If genuine leather is wet with water, wipe off the water as quickly as possible with a dry, soft cloth. 2. Slight stains on genuine leather may be removed with a leather cleaner. 3. The genuine leather surface may be damaged if a nylon brush is rubbed hard against it. 4. Organic solvents such as benzine, alcohol, gasoline, acid or alkaline solvents may discolor the genuine leather surface and should not be used. 5. Dirty genuine leather seats may mildew. Be very careful about oil stains and remove them immediately.


6. The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is exposed to the direct rays of the sun for long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possible. 7. When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in the summer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may deteriorate and stick to the seat.


CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR VEHICLE To protect your vehicle’s outside finish, it is important that you wash it often and thoroughly. If desired, you may wax your vehicle by using an automobile wax. Foreign material Industrial fallout, road tar, bird droppings, tree sap, insect remains, sea water, and other foreign matter can damage the finish of your vehicle. Generally, the longer the foreign material remains in contact with the outside finish the more extensive the damage. Wash your vehicle as soon as possible if it becomes contaminated with foreign material.


Washing Chemicals contained in the dirt and dust picked up from air, rain, snow, or road surface can damage the paint coat and body of your vehicle if left in prolonged contact. Frequent washing and waxing is the best way to protect your vehicle from this damage. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight. Park the vehicle in the shade and spray it with water to remove dust. Next, using an ample amount of clean water and a car washing mitt or sponge, wash the vehicle from top to bottom. Use a mild vehicle washing soap. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a chamois or soft cloth. After washing the vehicle, carefully clean the joints and flanges of the doors, hood, etc., where dirt is likely to remain.


VEHICLE CARE 251


CAUTION!


† When washing the under side of your vehicle, wear a pair of rubber gloves in order to protect your hands. † Never spray or splash water on the electrical components in the engine compartment, as this may adversely affect the starting circuit. Exercise caution also when washing the under- body; be careful not to spray water into the engine compartment. † Using an automatic car wash, pay attention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car wash operator. † The outside mirrors and the antenna are retracted.


252 VEHICLE CARE


CAUTION!


† Some types of washers (including coin-operated washers) apply high temperature and high pres- sure to the vehicle, which may cause heat distor- tion and damage to the resin parts of the vehicle body, leakage of water into the vehicle, etc. There- fore, be sure to observe the following. † Maintain a good distance of approx. 16 in. (40 cm) or more between the vehicle body and the wash- ing nozzle. † When washing around the door glass, hold the nozzle at a distance of more than 40 in.(1m) and at right angles to the glass surface.


During cold weather Salt and other chemicals that are spread on winter roads in some geographical areas can have a detrimental effect on the vehicle underbody. You should flush the under- body with a high pressure hose every time you wash the exterior of your vehicle. Special care should be taken to remove mud or other debris which could trap and hold salt and moisture. After washing your vehicle, wipe off all water drops from the rubber parts around the doors to prevent the doors from freezing. NOTE: When a door is frozen, opening it by force may tear or crack the rubber gasket installed around the door. Therefore, pour warm water to melt the ice. Be sure to wipe off water thoroughly after opening the door. To help prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, hood, etc., treat the rubber seal with a lubricant designed for rubber.


Waxing your vehicle Wax your vehicle once or twice a year, or when painted surfaces do not shed water well. Apply a small amount of wax to painted surfaces with a soft cloth. After the wax has dried, polish with a dry soft cloth. Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight. You should wax after the surfaces have cooled.


VEHICLE CARE 253


CAUTION!


† Waxes


containing high abrasive compounds should not be used. Such waxes remove rust and stain effectively from the paintwork, but are harmful to the luster of the painted surface, since they also remove paint/clearcoat. Further, they are detrimental to glossy surfaces such as the grille, garnish, moldings, etc. † Do not use gasoline, kerosene, benzene or paint thinners to remove road tar or other contamina- tion to the painted surface. † Do not apply wax on the areas having black mat coating as it can cause uneven discoloration, patches, blurs, etc. If stained with wax, immedi- ately wipe off with a soft cloth and warm water. † Be careful when waxing the area around the sunroof opening, not to apply any wax on the weatherstrip (black rubber). If stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot main- tain a weatherproof seal with the sunroof.


254 VEHICLE CARE


Polishing your vehicle If painted surfaces have been severely damaged and lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a fine polishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat wider area, moving the polishing cloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the compound from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster. Damaged paint Small cracks and scratches in the paint coat should be touched up as soon as possible with touch-up paint to prevent corrosion. Check body areas facing the road or the tires carefully for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. The paint code number for your vehicle can be found on the vehicle information code plate in the engine compart- ment.


Cleaning plastic parts Use a sponge or chamois. If vehicle wax adheres on the plastic bumper or mold- ings, the surface may appear white in color. In this case, wipe it off using lukewarm water and a soft cloth or chamois.


CAUTION!


they may damage the plastic part surface.


† Do not use a scrub brush or other hard tools as † Do not use wax containing compound (polishing compound) which may damage the plastic part surface. † Do not bring plastic parts into contact with brake fluids, engine oils, greases, thinner for painting, and sulfuric acid (battery electrolyte) which may stain, crack or discolor the plastic parts. If they touch the plastic part, wipe them with a soft cloth, or chamois and an aqueous solution of neutral detergent. Then, immediately rinse the affected parts with water.


Chrome parts To prevent spots and corrosion of chrome parts, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a nonabrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted use a commercially available chrome polish. Aluminum wheels (if so equipped) A protective coating is provided over aluminum wheels. Clean aluminum wheels with a cleaner designed for use on aluminum and apply an appropriate protection agent.

IF THE VEHICLE BREAKS DOWN If the vehicle breaks down on the road, move to the shoulder and activate the hazard warning flashers. If there is no shoulder, or the shoulder is not safe, drive in the right lane, slowly, with the hazard flashers activated, until you reach a safe place to stop. Keep the flashers activated. If the engine quits If the engine stops, power will be lost to the steering and brakes, making steering and braking difficult. 1. The brake booster becomes inoperative and the brake pedal will be harder to push than usual. 2. Since power steering system is not operative, the steering wheel will be stiff when turning. Turn the wheel with more effort than usual.


EMERGENCIES 259


OPERATION UNDER ADVERSE DRIVING CONDITIONS


If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or snow If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the wheels. Move the gearshift lever or selector lever rhythmically between 1st and REVERSE position (with manual trans- axle), ‘‘L’’ (Low) and ‘‘R’’ (REVERSE) position (with automatic transaxle), Autostick and ‘‘R’’ (REVERSE) po- sition (with automatic transaxle), while applying slight pressure to the accelerator pedal. Avoid racing the engine or spinning the wheels. Pro- longed efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in overheating and transaxle failure. Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes to let the transaxle cool between rocking attempts. If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking at- tempts, seek other assistance.


260 EMERGENCIES


WARNING!


On a wet road


When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly lurch forward or backward, causing injury to by-standers.


CAUTION!


† Avoid flooded roads. Water depth can be decep- tive, and you could be seriously hurt by driving into flood water. † When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or through a vehicle wash, water could enter the brake drum linings or discs, resulting in tempo- rarily ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly depress the brake pedal to see if the brakes operate properly. If they do not, lightly depress the pedal several times while driving in order to dry the brake pads or linings, then check them again.


CAUTION!


† When driving in rain, a layer of water may form between the tires and the road surface (hydroplan- ing). This reduces a tire’s frictional resistance on the road, resulting in loss of steering stability and braking capability. When driving on a wet road, observe the following: (a) Drive your vehicle at a safe speed. (b) Do not drive on worn tires. (c) Always maintain the specified tire inflation pressures.


On snowy or icy roads 1. When driving on a road covered by snow or ice, it is recommended that you use snow tires.


EMERGENCIES 261


CAUTION!


Tire chains are not recommended for your vehicle. The clearance between the chains and the body is small, and body damage may occur.


2. Drive slowly. Avoid any sudden starts or stops, abrupt brake application or sharp cornering. 3. Depressing the brake pedal during travel on snowy or icy roads may cause tire slippage and skidding. When a skid occurs, take your foot off the accelerator. Steer gently into the skid. Braking will differ, depending upon whether you have anti-lock brakes (ABS). If you do have ABS, brake by pressing the brake pedal firmly, and keeping it pressed. If you do not have ABS (vehicles without anti-lock braking system) pump the brake pedal with short rapid jabs, each time fully applying and fully releasing for greatest effect. 4. Allow extra distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.

COMPACT SPARE TIRE The compact spare tire is designed to save space in the trunk and its lighter weight makes it easier to use if a flat tire occurs.


CAUTION!


† The tire pressure should be periodically checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tire is stowed. † Driving with an insufficient tire pressure can lead to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an insufficient tire pressure, keep your speed down and adjust to the specified pressure [60 psi (420 kPa)] as soon as possible. † The compact spare should only be used temporarily and should be returned to the trunk and the original tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible. If your vehicle is equipped with aluminum type wheels, the wheel nuts for aluminum type wheels can be used temporarily on the compact spare tire wheel. † Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) while the com-


pact spare tire is installed on the vehicle.

CAUTION!


spare tire.


† Avoid rapid starting and braking with a compact † Avoid driving through automatic vehicle washes and over obstacles that could possibly damage the vehicle’s under-carriage. Because the tire is smaller than the original tire, vehicle ground clearance is slightly reduced. † As the compact spare tire is specifically designed for your vehicle, it should not be used on any other vehicle. † The compact spare tire should not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tires, snow tires, wheel covers or trim rings be used with the compact spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage to these items or other vehicle components may occur. † Do not use snow chains with your compact spare tire. Because of the smaller tire size, a snow chain will not fit properly. This could cause damage to the vehicle and could result in loss of the chains. † The compact spare tire pressure should be checked once a month while the tire is stowed.

274 EMERGENCIES


CAUTION!


† The emergency tire is to be used only temporarily when the standard tire is damaged. Repair the damaged tire as soon as possible. Replace the emergency tire with the standard tire. † After changing the tire and driving the vehicle approximately 621 miles (1000 km), retighten the wheel nuts to make sure that they are not loose. † If the steering wheel vibrates after changing the tire, have the tire checked for balance at an autho- rized dealer. † Avoid mixing one type of tire with another type or using tires of a size other than the specified size. Premature mechanical wear and reduced handling may result.


ENGINE OVERHEATING If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicator enters the “H” (hot) position, the engine may be overheated. In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate ac- tion. † On the highways — Slow down. † In city traffic — While stopped, put transaxle in


neutral, but do not increase engine idle speed.


NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition. If your air conditioner is on, turn it off. The air conditioning system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning off the A/C removes this heat. You can also turn the Temperature control to maximum heat, the Mode control to floor, and the fan control to High. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.


CAUTION!


Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads “H”, pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H”, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.


WARNING!


A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call a service center if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under the hood yourself, see Maintenance Section of this manual. Follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.


EMERGENCIES 275


WARNING!


† When working near the radiator cooling fan, dis- connect the fan motor lead or turn the ignition key to the OFF position. The fan is temperature con- trolled and can start at any time the ignition key is in the ON position. † You or others can be badly burned by hot coolant or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, don’t open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator is hot.

When using jumper cables to start a vehicle, follow procedures exactly and exercise extreme caution.


CAUTION!


Do not try to start your vehicle by pushing or towing. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle can- not be started this way. Pushing or towing a vehicle equipped with a manual transaxle may overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Also, there is a greater risk of an accident when a vehicle is being pushed or towed.


1. Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an inadvertent electrical con- tact. 2. Position the vehicles close enough together so the booster cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other. If they are, it could cause a ground


CAUTION!


Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery. If the other system isn’t 12-volts, both sys- tems can be damaged.


3. You could be injured if the vehicles move. Set the parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an automatic transaxle in “P” (PARK) or a manual transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position.


WARNING!


Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position on both vehicles. Use care to make sure that the cables or your clothes are never caught by the fan or drive belt. Personal injury could result.


NOTE: Turn off all lights, heater and other electrical loads. This will avoid sparks and help save both batter- ies. 4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the proper level. (See “Battery” on page 317.)


WARNING!


If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or appears to be frozen, do not attempt jump starting. The battery might rupture or explode if the tempera- ture is below the freezing point or if it is not filled to the proper level.
