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 coverings,
and have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does
not need regular maintenance.)
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace blade
inserts that appear worn or damaged or that streak or
miss areas of the windshield. Also see “Wiper Blades,
Cleaning” in the Index.
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. Inspect your air cleaner filter restriction indicator more often
if the vehicle is used in
dusty areas or under off road conditions.
Manual Transmission Check
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See
“Manual Transmission” in
the Index. Check the system for
leaks. A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired if needed.
Automatic Transmission Check
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 System Check
Check the fluid level in the clutch reservoir. See
“Hydraulic Clutch Fluid” in the Index. A fluid loss in
this system could indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired
at once.
At Least Once a Year
