Final Inspection

Final Inspection for Maintenance Service

WARNING: When carrying out road tests, select a safe place where no man or no running vehicle is seen so as to prevent any accident.

Engine Start
Check engine start for readiness.

WARNING: Before performing the following check, be sure to have enough room around the vehicle. Then, firmly apply both the parking brake and the regular brakes. Do not use the accelerator pedal. If the engine starts, be ready to turn off the ignition promptly. Take these precautions because the vehicle could move without warning and possibly cause personal injury or property damage.

On A/T vehicles, try to start the engine in each select lever position. The starting motor should crank only in "P" (Park) or "N" (Neutral).

On M/T vehicles, place the shift lever in "Neutral," depress clutch pedal halfway and try to start. Starting motor should crank only when clutch is fully depressed.
