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.
3 Steering wheel operation
•
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
inspection.
