glove box door
as illustrated.
The schedule lists the various safety checks to be
performed at regularly scheduled intervals,
as well
as some of the other important vehicle maintenance
requirements. You are urged to check
off each item
on the schedule after the operation has been per­
formed. Following are further details on the safety
check items:
Checks To Be Made At Oil Change Intervals
(4 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes
first)
• Brake Lines and Hoses -Check for proper at­
tachments, leaks, cracks, chafing, deterioration,
etc. Any questionable parts noted should be re­
placed or repaired immediately.
• Fluid Levels-Check level of fluid in brake master
cylinder, power steering pump, radiator, engine,
axle and transmission. Any significant
loss could
mean that a malfunction
is developing in the sys­
tem and corrective action should be taken imme­
diately.
On cars with disc brakes, a low fluid level
in the front brake master cylinder reservoir could
34
also be an indicator that disc brake pads need
replacing.
• Front and Rear Suspension and Steering Sys­
tem-Check for damaged or missing parts, or parts
showing visible signs of excessive wear or lack of
lubrication. Questionable parts should be replaced
by a qualified mechanic without delay.
• Exhaust System -Check complete exhaust sys­
tem and nearby body areas and trunk lid for
broken, damaged, missing or mispositioned parts,
open seams, holes, loose connections
or other de­
terioration which could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the trunk or passenger compartment. Any
defects should be corrected immediately. To help
insure continued integrity, exhaust system pipes
rearward of the
muffler must be replaced whenever
a new
muffler is installed.
• Tires and Wheels -Check tires for excessive
wear, nails, cuts or other damage. Make certain
wheels are not bent
~nd wheel nuts are tight. Un­
even or abnormal tire wear may indicate the need
for alignment service. Check tire inflation pressure
at least monthly, or more often
if daily visual
inspection indicates the need.

more often) to insure that the right
amount of air
is contained in the
tires. With regard to tire life, too
little air pressure allows abnormal
deflection of the tire causing exces­
sive operating temperatures, while
too much air pressure prevents
normal deflection, making the cord
body more vulnerable to road im­
pacts.
Use of optional inflations
is al­
lowable only with a reduced load
(one to four passengers). When
operating at loads greater than the
optional reduced load, the inflation
pressure
must be increased to the
standard inflation for full rated
loads.
1. Tire inflation pressure may in­
crease
as much as 6 pounds per
square inch (psi) when hot.
2.
For continuous high speed oper- ation
(over 75 mph) increase
tire inflation pressure 4 pounds
per square inch over the recom­
mended pressures up to a maxi­
mum of 32 pounds per square
inch cold for load range B tires. Sustained
speeds above 75 mph
are not recommended when the
4 pounds per square inch adjust­
ment would require pressures
greater than the maximum
stated above.
