IN ORDER TO PREVENT VEHICLES
FROM FIRE
M6001001500064
"Improper installation of electrical or fuel related parts
could cause a fire. In order to retain the high quality
and safety of the vehicle, it is important that any
accessories that may be fitted or modifica
tions/repairs that may be carried out which involve
the electrical or fuel systems, must be carried out in
accordance with MMC's information/Instructions".
-
ENGINE OILS
M6001001600061
HEALTH WARNING
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will
result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addi
tion, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate
means of skin protection and washing facilities must
be provided.
-
RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by
using enclosed systems for handling used engine oil
and by degreasing components, where practicable,
before handling them.
Other precautions:
• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
• Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
• Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
• Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls
without pockets will avoid this.
• Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and
oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly and kept separately from per
sonal clothing.
• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addition an eye wash
facility should be provided.
• Obtain first aid treatment immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
• Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all
oil is removed, especially before meals (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). After clean
ing, the application of preparations containing
lanolin to replace the natural skin oils is advised.
• Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil,
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
• Use barrier creams, applying them before each
work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin after work.
• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice
without delay.
This section describes the details and the inspection methods employed for the pre-delivery inspection of
vehicles.
The inspection should be conducted according to the sequence described in the TABLE OF PRE-DELIVERY
INSPECTION.
Inspection methods are described following the TABLE OF PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION.
NOTE: The spaces for model, C/# (Chassis number), E/# (engine number), aggregate distance travelled in

1Continuous peeling of filmThe film is peeled off.
2Water rinseSand and dust are removed from the vehicle body and it
is dried thoroughly.
3Parts where the film is to be reapplied are
checked.
4Treatment of parts where film is to be
reapplied.
There should be no leftover adhesive, swelling or
discoloration of the paint film, or other defects.
Treat the defects on the parts where film is to be
reapplied. If a solvent is used to remove leftover
adhesive, wipe off the solvent thoroughly.
5Reapplication
1. Basically, the parts where the film is to be applied
should be the same as the film that is to be applied.
2. Apply the film from the lower portion of the body,
working upward progressively. Apply pressure using
a plastic squeegee or similar tool.
3. As necessary, cut the film at the various parts such as
windshield washer nozzles, hood and trunk lid.
CAUTION
• Apply the film with the body at a temperature of 10 − 40° C. (Workability is good in this temperature
range.)
• If the outside surface of the film (the side with no adhesive) is brought into direct contact with the
paint film and left in that state, it may result in loss of paint gloss, so make sure the film does not
get folded under or otherwise make contact with the paint film.
• Air bubbles and wrinkles do not have a particularly bad influence on the pain film, but every effort
should be made to prevent air bubbles from being trapped under the film by applying pressure
from the centre of the film outward toward the edges during application.
• To prevent intrusion of rainwater, be sure to press down the overlapping portions and cut ends of
the film securely.

1. Remove the cap of the bleeder screw, connect a
vinyl tube, and place its other end in a receptacle.
CAUTION
If the reservoir tank completely runs out of fluid
during operation, air will find way into the brake
line. Pay attention, therefore, to the fluid level
and replenish as necessary.
2. Loosen the bleeder screw and depress the brake
pedal; supply new brake fluid when the level of
the fluid within the reservoir tank decreases.
Specified brake fluid: DOT3 or DOT4
1. Check that the fluid level is between the "MAX"
and "MIN" mark.
2. If it is below the "MIN" marks, replenish with fresh
brake fluid up to the "MAX" mark.
A14. CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN CLUTCH

1. Check that the fluid level is between the "MAX"
and "MIN" mark.
2. If it is below the "MIN" marks, replenish with fresh
brake fluid up to the "MAX" mark.
CAUTION
Use the specified brake fluid. Avoid using a mixture of the specified brake fluid and other fluid. If
brake fluid is exposed to the air, it will absorb
moisture; as water is absorbed from the atmos
phere, the boiling point of the brake fluid will
decrease and the braking performance will be
seriously impaired. For this reason use a hermet
ically sealed 1 L or 0.5 L brake fluid container.
Firmly close the cap of the brake fluid container
after use.
3. When fresh fluid has come to flow out from the
vinyl tube, tighten the bleeder screw.
NOTE: This change from existing to fresh fluid
can be judged by change in colour of fluid that
flows out.

MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING <VEHICLES WITHOUT ABS>
The master cylinder used has no check valve, so if
bleeding is carried out by the following procedure,
bleeding of air from the brake pipeline will become
easier (When brake fluid is not contained in the mas
ter cylinder).
1. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid.
2. Keep the brake pedal depressed.

3. Have another person cover the master cylinder
outlet with a finger.
4. With the outlet still closed, release the brake
pedal.
5. Repeat steps 2 − 4 three or four times to fill the
inside of the master cylinder with brake fluid.
HBB SYSTEM AIR BLEEDING <VEHICLES
WITH ABS>
1. Air bleeding from front brake system
Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (OFF) position. Bleed air from the front brake calipers (right
and left) by pumping the brake pedal.
2. Air bleeding from rear brake system
CAUTION
• If too much brake fluid is drained at a time,
the accumulator pressure may be dropped
abnormally. So limit drain amount at a time to
100 cm3 or less, and check that the pump
motor stops per one air-bleeding.
• If the brake fluid level in the reservoir has
been dropped, air may enter the pump motor
accidentally. To avoid this, always maintain
the brake fluid between the MIN and MAX
marks.
While the ignition switch is turned ON and the
brake pedal is depressed, bleed air from the right
and left rear brake calipers.
A16. CHECK BATTERY ELECTROLYTE
LEVEL
M6020201700577

the level of A/T fluid.
NOTE: If the A/T fluid has a burnt smell, or if it has
become very contaminated or dirty, it means that
the A/T fluid has become contaminated by minute
particles form bushings (metal) or worn parts. In
such a case, the transmission needs to be over

marks on the oil level gauge. If the A/T fluid level
is too low, add more A/T fluid until the level
reaches between the HOT marks.
A/T fluid: DIA QUEEN ATF SP III
NOTE: If the A/T fluid level is too low, the oil pump
draws air into the system along with the A/T fluid,
and air bubbles will thus from in the fluid circuit.
This will cause a drop in fluid pressure and cause
the shift points to change and the clutches and
brakes to slip. If the A/T fluid level is too high, the
gear will churn the A/T fluid and cause bubbles to
develop, which can then cause the same prob
lems as when the A/T fluid is too low. In either
case, the air bubbles can cause overheating and
oxidation of the A/T fluid, and also prevent the
valves, clutches and brakes from operating nor
mally. In addition, if bubbles develop in the A/T
fluid, the A/T fluid can overflow from the transmis
sion vent holes and be mistaken for leaks.
