Inside the Vehicle
The maintenance items listed here
should be checked on a regular
basis, such as when performing
scheduled maintenance, cleaning
the vehicle, etc.
Accelerator pedal : Check the
pedal for smooth operation and
make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the
floor mat away from the pedal. Brake pedal :
Check the pedal for
smooth operation. If the brake pedal
suddenly goes down further than
normal, if the pedal feels spongy,
or if the vehicle seems to take
longer to stop, have your vehicle
checked immediately. It is
recommended that you see your
dealer for this service. Keep the
floor mat away from the pedal.
Brakes : Check that the brakes do
not pull the vehicle to one side
when applied.
Continuously Variable

position mechanism : On a fairly
steep hill check that the vehicle is
held securely with the shift lever in
the P (Park) position without
applying any brakes.
Parking brake : Check the parking
brake operation regularly. The
vehicle should be securely held on
a fairly steep hill with only the
parking brake applied. If the parking
brake needs adjustment, it is
recommended that you see your
dealer for this service. Seats :
Check seat position controls
such as seat adjusters, seatback
recliner, etc., to ensure they operate
smoothly and all latches lock
securely in every position. Check
that the head restraints/headrests
move up and down smoothly and
the locks (if equipped) hold securely
in all latched positions.
Seat belts : Check that all parts of
the seat belt system (for example,
buckles, anchors, adjusters, and
retractors) operate properly and
smoothly, and are installed securely.
Check the belt webbing for cuts,
fraying, wear, or damage.
Steering wheel : Check for
changes in the steering system,
such as excessive free play, hard
steering, or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes : Make
sure all warning lights and chimes
are operating properly.
Windshield defroster : Check that
the air comes out of the defroster
outlets properly and in sufficient
quantity when operating the heater
or air conditioner.
