PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION
Pre-delivery Inspection
46.ATF LEVEL
Check that the ATF level is normal when the engine
at idle. If insufficient, check that no leaks are found.
Then add the necessary amount of the specified
ATF.
47.POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
Check that the power steering fluid level is normal.
If insufficient, check that no leaks are found. Then
add the necessary amount of the specified power
steering fluid.
48.FLUID LEAK CHECK
Check the entire areas of the vehicle for any trace
of coolant/oil/fluid leaks.
49.WATER LEAK TEST
Spray the vehicle with water and check that no wa-
ter enters the passenger compartment.
• Before performing the water leakage test, re-
move anything that may obstruct the operation or
which must be kept dry.
• Close all windows completely, and then close all
doors tightly. Close the hood and trunk lid before
starting the test.
• Connect a hose to a tap, and spray water on the
vehicle. The rate of water discharge must be ap-
prox. 20 — 25
2 (5.3 — 6.6 US gal, 4.4 — 5.5 Imp
gal) per minute.
When spraying water on areas adjacent to the floor
and wheel house, increase the pressure. When di-
recting water on areas other than the floor portion
and wheel house, decrease the pressure. But the
force of water must be made strong occasionally by
pressing the end of the hose.
NOTE:
Be sure to keep the hose at least 10 cm (3.9 in)
from the vehicle.
Check the following areas:
• Front window and body framework mating por-
tion
• Door mating portions
• Glass mating portions
• Rear quarter window mating portions
• Rear window and body framework mating portion
• Around roof drips
If any dampness in the compartment is discovered
after the water has been applied, carefully check all
areas that may have possibly contributed to the
leak.
50.APPEARANCE CHECK 2
1) Check the paint after removing the paint protec-
tive coating and washing the vehicle.
NOTE:
• Use of steam eases peeling off the warp guard.
• When performing on the vehicles left for a long
time, or during low temperature period, sprinkle
some water heated to 50 — 60
°C (122 — 140°F)
over the vehicle to raise its surface temperature be-
fore peeling off the wrap guard.
Do not use the water heated to over 60
°C (140°F).
• If the adhesive remains on the coated surface,
rub the portion with a flannel rag, etc. soaked with a
coat of coating wax or a solvent, such as oil ben-
zene and IPA, and then wipe it off.
• Avoid adhesion of the solvent to resin or rubber
components. Do not use coating wax or a solvent
while the component surface temperature is high
due to hot weather, etc.
