Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged
safety belt system parts. If you see anything that might
keep a safety belt system from doing its job, have it
repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does
not need regular maintenance.) Check the transaxle fluid level; add if needed.
See
“Automatic Transaxle”
in the Index. A fluid loss may
indicate a problem. Check the system and repair if needed.
At Least Once a Year
