- For proper wear and
maximum tire life, rotate your
tires following the instructions
in this manual. See

Inspection and Rotation’’ in the
Index. Check the tires for
uneven wear or damage.
If you
see irregular or premature wear,
check the wheel alignment.
Check for damaged wheels also.

WHAT TO DO
Park on a fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing downhill. Keeping your foot on the regular
brake, set the parking brake.
0 To check the parking brake: With the engine running and transmission in “N” (Neutral),
__
slowly remove foot pressure from the regular brake pedal. Do this until the vehicle is held by
the parking brake only.
To check the “P” (Park) mechanism’s holding ability: Shift to “P” (Park). Then release all
brakes. If your vehicle
is four-wheel drive, be sure the transfer case is not in “N” (Neutral).
At least every spring, use plain water to flush any corrosive materials from the underbody. Take
care to clean thoroughly any areas where mud and other debris can collect.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE I
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.
Inspect the froht 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
hookup, 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.
