suggests the following multi-point inspection to be performed at every
scheduled maintenance interval as the way to ensure your vehicle keeps
running right.
Multi-point inspection - recommended at every visit
❑Check and top up fluid levels:❑brake❑coolant recovery reservoir❑fuel coolant recovery reservoir (F-Super Duty)❑manual and automatic transmission❑power steering❑window washer❑Inspect tires for wear and check air pressure, including spare.
❑Check exhaust system for leaks, damage, loose parts and foreign materials.
❑Check that holes in the tail-pipe of the exhaust system are clear of debris; the holes/slots are functional (F-Super Duty)
❑Check battery performance.
❑Check operation of horn, exterior lamps, turn signals and hazard warning lights.
❑Check radiator, coolers and heater and air conditioning hoses.
