Information for models equipped with factory-installed cruise control systems.
Wiring Diagrams:
Detailed wiring diagrams are a key feature, essential for diagnosing and repairing all electrical systems, including lighting, ignition, fuel injection, and accessory circuits.
Oil Change Interval:
Likely specifies intervals around 5,000-7,500 miles (8,000-12,000 km) or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and engine type.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Intervals typically around 20,000-30,000 miles (32,000-48,000 km) for standard spark plugs, potentially longer for platinum-tipped plugs if fitted.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Critical for relevant engine variants. Typically around 60,000-80,000 miles (96,000-128,000 km) or 5-7 years. Failure often leads to significant engine damage.
Engine Oil Type:
Specifies viscosity grades like 10W-40 or 20W-50, and API service classifications suitable for the era and engine type (e.g., API SF, SG).
Coolant Type:
Likely specifies a mixture of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and water, with recommended protection levels.
Transmission Fluid Type:
For manual transmissions, specifies gear oil (e.g., GL-4). For automatics, likely specifies Dexron-II or equivalent automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
Common Wear Items:
Suspension bushings, ball joints, shock absorbers, exhaust systems (prone to rust), fuel pumps, and ignition components.
Engine Specifics:
Potential for head gasket issues on some engine variants, particularly if overheated; diesel engines can be robust but require proper glow plug maintenance.
