Automatic Transmission Check
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.)
Air Cleaner Filter Restriction Indicator Check
Your vehicle has an indicator on the engine that lets you
know when the air cleaner filter is dirty and needs to be
changed. Check indicator at least twice
a year or when
your
oil is changed. See “Air Cleaner” in the Index for
more information.
Manual Transmission Check
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See
“Manual Transmission” in
the Index. A fluid loss may
indicate
a problem. Check the system and repair if needed. Check the transmission
fluid level; add if needed. See
“Automatic Transmission”
in the Index. A fluid loss
may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
if needed.

“Hydraulic Clutch Fluid”
in the Index. A fluid loss in
this system could indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired
