After Off-Road Driving
Remove any brush or debris that has
collected on the underbody, chassis or
under the hood. These accumulations
can be a fire hazard.
After operation in mud or sand, have the
brake linings cleaned and checked.
These substances can cause glazing and
uneven braking. Check the body
structure, steering, suspension, wheels,
tires, and exhaust system for damage.
Also, check the fuel lines and cooling
system for any leakage.
Your vehicle will require more frequent
service due to off-road use. Refer
to the
Maintenance Schedule for additional
information.
rn Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than
day driving. One reason is that some
drivers are likely to be impaired
- by
alcohol or drugs, with night vision
problems, or by fatigue.
Here are some tips
on night driving.
Drive defensively. Remember, this is
the most dangerous time.
Don’t drink and drive. (See
“Drunken Driving” in the Index for
more on this problem.)
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to
reduce the glare from headlights
behind you.
Since you can’t see as well, you may
need to slow down and keep more
space between you and other vehicles.
It’s hard to tell how fast the vehicle
ahead is going just by looking at its
taillights.
Slow down, especially on higher
speed roads.
Your headlights can light
up only so much road ahead.
In remote areas, watch for animals.
If you’re tired, pull off the road in a
safe place and rest.

Brakes - Tire rotations are a convenient
opportunity
to inspect the braking system. See
“Brake System Inspection”
in Section C.
Locking Front Hubs Inspection (If Equipped) -
At each oil change, inspect the locking front hubs
for correct operation. Repair or replace
if necessary.
(Both hubs must operate correctly for the front axle
to power
the front wheels.)
7 Steering and Suspension - At each oil change,
inspect the steering linkage and suspension for leaks
and damage. Repair or replace damaged or worn
parts.

Maintenance Schedule
Section C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should be

Service ~ Inspect front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs
of wear or lack of lubrication. On vehicles equipped with power steering, inspect power steering,
lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. On vehicles equipped
with manual steering, check
for seal leakage. Clean and then inspect drive axle boot seals for
damage, tears or leakage. Replace seals
if necessary.
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body near the exhaust system. Look for broken,
damaged, missing,
or out-of-position parts as well as open seams, holes, loose connections, or
other conditions which could cause a heat build-up in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes
into the vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust’’
in the Index.
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding, and for damaged or missing parts.
Replace parts as needed. Check accelerator pedal for smooth operation and even pedal effort.
Check the gear lubricant level and add if needed. See “Rear Axle’’ and ‘‘Four-wheel Drive’’
in
the Index. A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Check the system(s), and repair the system(s) if
needed. Refer to “Scheduled Maintenance Services,” earlier in this part, to determine when to
change
the lubricant.
