Simple inspection and service

4 Cleaning the terminals

Clean the battery terminals if they become dirty or

corroded.

Use warm water to remove any white powder

caused by corrosion.

If a terminal is seriously corroded, remove the bat-

tery cable and clean the terminal with a wire brush

or sandpaper.

After cleaning, apply a thin coat of grease to the ter-

minals.

NOTE:

Follow the correct procedure when jump starting a

vehicle with a dead battery by connecting it to a live

battery using a booster cable. 

 P. 13-16

Remove and clean the air filters with water or com-

pressed air to eliminate dust and dirt at regular

intervals (6 months or so).

Clogged filters may cause inefficient heating or air-

conditioning, and even malfunction of the blower

motor.

CAUTION

Clean the air filters at shorter intervals if your

vehicle is used frequently in dusty areas.

1 Outside air filter

1. Remove the air filter by bending its frame inward

to disengage the lugs and pulling the filter down-

ward.

Air filters – cleaning

WARNING

When cleaning the air filters, wear a dust

mask to avoid inhaling dust. Dust inhalation

can have adverse health effects.
