55.WATER LEAK TEST

Spray the vehicle with water using a hose and

check that no water enters the passenger compart-

ment.

• Before performing the water leakage test, re-

move anything that may obstruct the operation or

which must be kept dry.

• Close all the windows and doors securely. Close

the front hood and trunk lid before starting the test.

• Connect a hose to a tap, and spray water on the

vehicle. The rate of water spray must be approx. 20

to 25 L (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

spraying water on areas other than the floor 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)

away from 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 por-

tion

• Around roof drips

If any dampness in the compartments is discovered

after the water has been applied, carefully check all

the areas that may have possibly contributed to the

leak.

56.APPEARANCE 2

1) If protective coating (wrap guard) is applied, re-

move it.
NOTE:

• When removing the wrap guard, using steam will

make it easier to remove.

• Vehicle left for a extended periods or at low tem-

peratures, spray the vehicle with water heated 50

— 60°C (122 — 140°F) to raise the surface temper-

ature before peeling off the wrap guard. Do not use

the water heated to over 60°C (140°F).

• If the adhesive remains exist on the coated sur-

face, soak a flannel rag, etc. with a small amount of

coating wax or solvent such as oil benzene and

IPA, put the soaked cloth on the remains lightly,

and then wipe them off with a flannel rag etc.

• Keep solvent from touching the resin or rubber

parts. Do not use coating wax or solvents while the

component surface temperature is hot due to hot

weather etc.

• If the coated surface is swollen out due to seams

or moisture, expose the vehicle to the sunlight for a

few hours or heat the seam and swollen portions

using a dryer etc.

• Dispose of the peeled wrap guard as burnable

industrial garbage.

2) Check the whole vehicle body for flaking paint,

damage by transportation, corrosion, dirt, cracks or

blisters.
NOTE:

• It is better to determine an inspection pattern in

order to avoid missing an area, since the total in-

spection area is wide.

• Do not repair the body paint unless absolutely

necessary. Also, if the vehicle is in need of repair to

remove scratches or corroded paint, the repair area

must be limited to the minimum. Re-painting and

spray painting must be avoided as much as possi-

ble.

3) Check each window glass for scratches careful-

ly. Slight damage may be removed by polishing

with cerium oxide. (Fill a cup half with cerium oxide,

and add warm water to it. Then agitate the content

until it turns to wax. Apply this wax to a soft cloth,

and polish the glass with it.)

4) Check each portion of the vehicle body and un-

derside components for the formation of rust. If rust

is discovered, remove it with sandpaper of #80 to

#180 and treat the surface with rust preventive. Af-

ter this treatment is completed, flush the portion

thoroughly, and prepare the surface for repair

painting.

5) Check each portion of body and all of the exteri-

or parts for deformation or distortion. Also, check

each light lens for cracks.

6) Peel the protective tape, vinyl wrapping and

identification seal attached to the following places.
CAUTION:

Be sure to always peel off the protective film of

the SUS plate. Failure to remove the film can re-

sult in rust depending on the situation.

• Seat

• Door trim

• Floor carpet

• Side sill

• Front hood lock release lever

• Door mirror

• Front fog light

• SUS plate

• QTR trim
