the pressures specified on the GVW Rating label.

page 5-70 for further details.

At Least Twice a Year

Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light (if equipped)
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.

Wiper Blade Check

Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace
blade inserts that appear worn or damaged or that
streak or miss areas of the windshield. Also see
Windshield and Wiper Blades on page 5-84.

Weatherstrip Lubrication

Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,
damp weather more frequent application may be
required. Part C tells you what to use.

Body Lubrication Service

Lubricate all exposed surfaces such as door checks,
door lock bolts, lock strike plates, door hinge bushings,
latches, and dovetail bumper wedges. Where oil
holes are provided, a dripless oil can be used. The seat
adjusters, seat track, door weatherstrips, and rubber
cap bumpers should also be lubricated. Part C tells you
what to use. More frequent lubrication may be required
when exposed to a corrosive environment.

Parking Brake Check

Park on a fairly steep hill and hold the vehicle with the
parking brake only. This checks holding ability.
