Inspect engine air cleaner fil-
ter. If necessary, replace filter. Refer to “Engine Air Cleaner/Filter” in “Checking Things Under the Hood” in the
“Service and Appearance Care” section.
 If you drive regularly under dusty conditions, inspect the filter at each engine oil
change.•
Inspect suspension and steer-
ing components. Visually inspect front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged, loose,
or missing parts, signs of wear.
 Inspect power steering cables for proper hook-up, binding, cracks, chafing, etc.
(if equipped).•
Inspect engine cooling sys-
tem. Visually inspect hoses and have them replaced if they are cracked, swollen, or
deteriorated.
 Inspect all pipes, fittings and clamps; replace parts as needed.
 To help ensure proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling system and pres-
sure cap and cleaning the outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is
recommended at least once a year.•
Inspect wiper blades. Visually inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking.
 Replace wiper blades that appear worn or damaged or that streak or miss areas of
the windshield.•
Inspect restraint system com-
ponents. 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 airbag coverings, and have them repaired or
replaced.
 The airbag system does not need regular maintenance.•
