Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. If your vehicle has a built
restraint, also periodically make sure the harness straps,
latch plates, buckle, clip, and anchorages are working
properly. Look for any other loose or damaged safety
-
belt and built in child restraint system parts.
7-38
If you see anything that might keep a safety belt or
-
built in child restraint system from doing its job, have it
repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts or harness
straps replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag coverings,
and have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag system
does not need regular maintenance.)
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 "Wiper Blades,
Cleaning" in the Index.
Weatherstrip Lubrication
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
-
in child
silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,
damp weather more frequent application may be
required. (See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants"
in the Index.)
