Inspect the throttle linkage for
interference or binding, and for

INSPECTION
OR SERVICE
Brake System
Inspection
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Inspect the complete system. Inspect
brake lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for
wear and rotors for surface condition.
Also inspect drum brake linings for
wear and cracks. Inspect other brake
parts, including drums, wheel
cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc.
The parking brake is self-adjusting and
no manual adjustment is required. You
may need to have your brakes inspected
more often
if your driving habits or
conditions result
in frequent braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can
indicate worn disc brake pads which
may need to serviced. Also, if the brake
system warning light stays
on or comes
on, something may be wrong with the
brake system. See “Brake System
Warning Light”
in the Index. If your
anti-lock brake system warning light
stays
on, comes on or flashes, something
may be wrong with the anti-lock brake
system. See “Anti-Lock Brake system
Warning Light” in
the Index.
