At Least Twice a Year At  Least Once a Year 
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.) 
Wiper  Blade  Check 
Inspect  wiper  blades for wear  or  cracking.  Replace  blade 
inserts  that  appear  worn  or  damaged  or  that  streak  or 
miss areas of the windshield. Also see  “Wiper  Blades, 
Cleaning’’  in  the  Index. 
Automatic  Transaxle  Check 
Check  the  transaxle  fluid  level;  add  if  needed.  See  “Automatic  Transaxle” 
in the  Index.  A  fluid 
loss  may  indicate 
a problem.  Check the system  and 
repair  if  needed. 
Key Lock  Cylinders  Service 
Lubricate  the  key  lock  cylinders  with  the lubricant 
specified  in 
Part D. 
Body Lubrication  Service 
Lubricate  all  body  door  hinges.  Also  lubricate  all hinges 
and  latches,  including  those  for the hood, 
rear 
compartment,  glove box door,  console  door and  any 
folding  seat  hardware. 
Part D tells  you  what  to use. 
More  frequent  lubrication  may  be  required  when 
exposed 
to a corrosive  environment.
