Restraint System Check
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 air bag coverings,
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

or manual transmission fluid levels and add
as needed. See “Transfer Case,” “Axle, Rear,” “Axle,

A fluid loss
in these systems could indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired at once.

Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See
“Automatic Transmission” in the Index. A fluid
loss
may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
if needed.
