At Least Twice a Year

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, child head restraint and
anchorages are working properly. Look for any other
loose or damaged safety belt and built
system parts. 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.
7-16
Spare Tire Check
At least twice a year, after the monthly inflation check
of the spare tire determines that the spare is inflated to
the correct tire inflation pressure, make sure that the
spare tire is stored securely. Push, pull, and then try to
-
in child
rotate or turn the tire. If it moves, use the folding wrench
to tighten the cable. See "Storing the Spare Tire and
Tools" in the Index.
- Weatherstrip Lubrication
in child restraint
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. See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants"
in the Index.
Automatic Transaxle Check
Check the transaxle fluid level; add if needed. See
"Automatic Transaxle Fluid" in the Index. A fluid
loss may indicate a problem. Check the system and
repair if needed.
