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, ha\:e 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 see "Wiper Blactes,

know when the air cleaner filter

changed. Check indicator at least twice
a year or when
your

more information. Inspect your air cleaner filter
restriction indicator more often
if the vehicle is used in
dusty areas or under off road conditions. Check the transmission fluid
level; add
if needed. See
"Manual Transmission"
in the Index. Check for leaks.
A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired
if needed.

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.
