Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the hoses and have them replaced if
they are cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect
all pipes, fittings and clamps; replace as needed.
Clean the outside of the radiator and air
conditioning condenser. To help ensure proper
operation, a pressure test of the cooling system
and pressure cap is recommended at least once
a year.
Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or
binding, and for damaged or missing parts.
Replace parts as needed. Replace any
components that have high effort or excessive
wear. Do not lubricate accelerator and cruise
control cables.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines
and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks,
cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for
wear and rotors for surface condition. Inspect other
brake parts, including calipers, parking brake,
etc. You may need to have your brakes inspected
more often if your driving habits or conditions
result in frequent braking.
