44.WATER LEAK TEST

Spray the vehicle with water and check that no wa-
ter enters the passenger compartment.
• Before performing the water leakage test, re-
move anything that may obstruct the operation or
which must be kept dry.
• 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 — 252 (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.
Check the following areas:
• Front window and body framework mating por-
tion
• Door mating portions
• Glass mating portions
• Rear quarter window mating portions
• Rear window and body framework mating portion
