Fuel Delivery G10:
Typically Throttle Body Injection (TBI)
Fuel Delivery G13:
Throttle Body Injection (TBI) and/or Multi-point Fuel Injection (MPI) / Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI) depending on model year and market.
Ignition System Type:
Distributor-based ignition system with electronic control (TBI/SFI)
Type:
Not Covered (manual transmission is excluded from this manual)
Type:
Automatic Transmission (covered within the manual)
Automatic Transmission Coverage:
Includes procedures related to the automatic transmission, though details are not specified beyond its inclusion.
Crash Test Data:
Limited availability of formal crash test data for this era and model segment, but inherently less advanced than modern standards.
Standard Safety:
Basic braking system, seat belts
Passive Safety:
Energy-absorbing steering column (typical), reinforced passenger cell (typical for era)
Oil Change:
Typically every 7,500-10,000 km or 6-12 months (refer to specific vehicle documentation if available, manual will confirm exact)
Air Filter Replacement:
Every 15,000-20,000 km or as needed based on driving conditions
Spark Plug Replacement:
Every 30,000-40,000 km (material dependent)
