WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Now and then, make sure all your belts, bucltles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and
reminder systems are worlting 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.
Inspect the front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged, loose or \
missing parts,
signs of wear, or lack
of lubrication. Inspect the power steering lines and hoses for proper hook-
up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then inspect the 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 the transaxle fluid level; add if needed. See Manual Transaxle in the Index. A fluid loss
may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair if needed.
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hook-\
up, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rot\
ors for surface condition. Also inspect
drum brake linings for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including drums, wheel
cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking brake adj\
ustment. 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 be 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.
