Simple inspection and service
1 Steering wheel play
1. Place the steering wheel in its straight-ahead
(neutral) position.
2. Turn the steering wheel clockwise and counter-
clockwise to the point where a resistance is first
felt for each direction, and measure the amount
of the steering wheel movement between these
points (steering wheel play).
NOTE:
The above check must be performed with the
engine running.
3. If the amount of play is not within the range indi-
cated above, have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized dealer.
2 Steering wheel looseness
Move steering wheel up and down and also right
and left to check for excessive looseness. If any-
thing abnormal is found during the check, have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer.

•
While driving slowly [approx. 10 km/h (6 MPH)]
in a safe place, make sure that the steering
wheel is neither too heavy nor too light to turn.
Also check for abnormal sound or irregular
resistance during operation.

If any abnormal condition is encountered during
the above check, call an authorized dealer for
