Primary Engine Variations
Common Engines:
Likely includes K3-VE (1.3L) and possibly 1SZ-FE (1.0L) or 3SZ-VE (1.5L) engines, common to the YRV and other Daihatsu/Toyota platforms of that era. Specific engine codes (e.g., K3-VE) should be confirmed within the manual.
Performance Considerations
Engine Variations:
The manual will detail performance characteristics, torque curves, and horsepower outputs for each specific engine variant covered by the M200, M201, and M211 chassis codes.
Fuel Delivery:
Information on fuel injection systems (likely EFI), fuel pumps, injectors, fuel pressure regulation, and fuel filter servicing.
Engine Layout:

Crash Test Information:
While specific ratings might be dated, the manual will cover safety system designs and repair related to occupant protection.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 10,000 km (6,250 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Specific recommendations in manual based on driving conditions.
Transmission Fluid Interval:
Typically every 60,000-80,000 km (37,000-50,000 miles) for automatic transmissions, but check manual for precise intervals.
Engine Oil Specification:
Likely API SG/SH/SJ or ILSAC GF-2/GF-3 grade, with viscosity recommended as 5W-30 or 10W-30 depending on climate. Check manual for exact specifications.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant, typically a pink or red long-life type. Manual will specify the exact Toyota/Daihatsu coolant part number or equivalent.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is typically recommended. Manual will provide the precise specification and change interval.
Power Steering Fluid:
Specific type of power steering fluid will be detailed, usually a Dexron-compatible ATF or a dedicated power steering fluid.
Manual Transmission Fluid:
Specifications for manual gearbox oil, likely GL-4 or GL-5 rated gear oil with appropriate viscosity.
Common Wear Items:
Common wear items include front suspension components (bushings, ball joints), rear shock absorbers, and catalytic converters (depending on age and maintenance). The manual will provide diagnostic procedures.
Transmission Longevity:
Automatic transmissions can benefit from regular fluid and filter changes to ensure longevity. Manual will guide on proper procedures.
Engine Mounts:
Engine mounts can degrade over time, leading to increased vibration. Manual will guide on inspection and replacement.
