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 air bag covers, and
have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)

inserts that appear worn or damaged or that streak or
miss areas of the windshield. Also see “Wiper Blades,
Cleaning” in

loss may indicate a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired if needed.

“Automatic Transaxle” in the Index.
A fluid loss may
indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
if needed.

this system could indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired at once.
