^ When the legal speed limit must be exceeded, use a chassis dynamometer instead of performing a road test.

Road Test Preparation
1. Inspect the engine coolant level. (See ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL INSPECTION.)
2. Inspect the engine oil level. (See ENGINE OIL LEVEL INSPECTION.)
3. Inspect the ATF level. (See AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) INSPECTION [SJ6A-EL].) Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) Inspection
4. Inspect the idle speed. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP.)
5. Inspect the ignition timing. (See ENGINE TUNE-UP.)
6. Wait until the engine and transmission reach normal operating temperature.
