12-52 Simple inspection and service
1 Clutch pedal play
1. Make sure the engine is not running.
2. Make sure the parking brake is securely applied.
3. Make sure the gearshift lever is in the neutral
position.
4. To check clutch pedal play, use your finger to
press the center of the pedal pad to the point
where resistance is felt and measure the dis-
tance over which the pedal has moved (play) .
If the degree of play is not as specified above,
adjustment is necessary.
Have any necessary adjustment made by an
authorized dealer.
2Clutch operation
Make sure that the clutch pedal operates without
unusual noise or excessive resistance. Check also
that depressing the clutch pedal allows you to move
the gearshift lever easily to the various gear posi-
tions, and that the clutch engages smoothly without
slipping when the clutch pedal is released slowly.
1 Inflation pressure check
•
Tire pressure should be checked and adjusted
before driving when the tires are still cool. Make
sure that the tire air valve caps are securely fit-
ted.
• You can roughly judge the air pressure from the
form of the tire tread, but need to use an air
gauge for precise measurement. If your vehicle
uses low-profile tires, the air pressure must be
checked using an air gauge.
Properly inflated
Excessively inflated
Insufficiently inflated
If the tires appear incorrectly inflated, make any
air pressure adjustments necessary before driv-
ing.
