or lubricants are added to your
vehicle, make sure they are the proper ones, as shown
in Part
D.
At Each Fuel Fill

have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does
not need regular maintenance.)

changed. Check indicator at least twice a year or when
your oil is changed. See “Air Cleaner” in the Index for
more information.
