4) Basic Inspection

Listen for the horn sound when pressing the horn pad on the steering wheel.

Check if there is any abnormal noise, unusually long braking distance, or uneven braking force. If the

brake warning lamp does not go out even after starting the engien or are flashing during driving,

have the brake system checked immediately.

Check the brake pipes and hoses for connection, oil leak, crack or interference after changing the

position of tires. When replacing the tires, check the brake disc for surface condition and wear.

Check the parking brake cable and brake operation. Shorten the checking interval if the parking

brake is used frequently.

Be aware to any changes in sound or smell from the exhaust system. These may be caused by leak or

overheat. Have the exhaust system checked and repaired immediately.

Inspect the exhaust system including catalytic converter. Inspect all the components and body frame

near the exhaust system.

may indicates the uneven tire inflation pressure or poor wheel balance.

Replace or repair the system if necessary.
