Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are

repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag coverings,
and have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)

inserts that appear worn or damaged or that streak or
miss areas of the windshield. Also see ªWiper Blades,

working properly. Make sure the horn chirps and

required. See ªRecommended Fluids and Lubricantsº
in the Index.
