210Care and Maintenance
Seat-back latches — Seat-back
latches are designed to prevent
forward motion of the seat-back
when the vehicle stops suddenly.
Check to see that the seat-back
latches are holding by pulling
forward on the top of the folding
seat-back.
Also check to see that the
reclining seats are operating
properly.
Lights and beepers — Check
panel lighting, warning lights, and
the seat belt reminder light and
beeper. Also check the key beeper
and interior lights. On the outside,
check the license plate light, side
marker lights, headlights, parking
lights, taillights, brake lights, turn
signals, backup lights and hazard
warning flashers. Have the
headlight aim checked promptly if the beams seem to be aimed
improperly.
Glass — Check for broken,
scratched or damaged glass that
could reduce visibility or cause
injury.
Door latches — Check that the
doors close, latch and lock
securely.
Hood latch — Check that the
hood closes firmly. Check for
broken, damaged, or missing parts
that might prevent secure
latching. Make sure the secondary
latch keeps the hood from
opening all the way when first
released.
Fluid leaks — Check for fuel,
water, oil or other fluid leaks by
looking at the surface beneath the
vehicle after it has been parked
for awhile. Water dripping from
the air conditioning system after
use is normal. If you notice
gasoline fumes or fluid at any
time, locate the source and have it
corrected at once.
Spare tire and jack — Check that
the spare tire and all jack gear are
securely stowed at all times.
Tailgate latch — Check that the
tailgate closes, latches and locks
securely.
