Mechanism Check
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle. It should be parked on a level
surface.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake (see “Parking Brake”
in the Index if necessary).
NOTE: Be ready to apply the regular brake
immediately if the vehicle begins to move.
3. With the engine off, turn the key to the RUN
position, but don’t
start the engine. Without applying
the regular brake, try to move the shift lever out
of

Park on a fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing
downhill. Keeping your foot on the regular brake, set the
parking brake.
To check the parking brake: With the engine running
and transaxle in

pressure from the regular brake pedal.
Do this until
the vehicle is held by the parking brake only.
To check the PARK (P) mechanism’s holding ability:
Shift to PARK
(P). Then release all brakes.

corrosive materials
from the underbody. Take care to
clean thoroughly any areas where mud and other debris
can collect.

these
jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are
completed at once.
Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any loose parts or damage.
If you see anything that might keep a restraint system
from doing its
job, have it repaired.

missing or out-of-position parts as well as open seams,
holes, loose connections, or other conditions which
