retractors) operate properly and smoothly and are installed securely. Check the 
belt webbing for cuts, fraying, wear or damage. MA-48

etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure the radiator hoses have no cracks, de-
formation, deterioration or loose connections.
—

fluid levels Make sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and “MIN” 
lines on the reservoirs.
BR-9
Battery
Check the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.

System HR16DE", MA-38, 
"EXHAUST SYSTEM : 
Checking Exhaust System 
MR18DE"
Underbody
The underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those used 
on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances, oth-
erwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the exhaust sys-
tem. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly flushed with plain 
water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt can easily accumu-
late. —
Fluid leaks Check under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has 
been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is normal. 
If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the cause 
and correct it immediately. —
