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 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.

and latches, including those for the hood,
