PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION

• Close all windows completely, and then close all

doors tightly. Close the hood 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.

• Front window and body framework mating por-

tion

• Door mating portions

• Glass mating portions

• Rear quarter window mating portions

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.
