Owner maintenance

The following lists are vehicle
checks and inspections that should
be performed at the frequencies
indicated to help ensure safe,
dependable operation of your
vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be

dealer as soon as possible.
These Owner Maintenance Checks
are generally not covered by
warranties and you may be charged
for labor, parts and lubricants used.

Owner maintenance schedule

When you stop for fuel:
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
• Check the windshield washer fluid
level.
• Look for low or under-inflated
tires.
WARNING
Be careful when checking your
engine coolant level when the engine
is hot. Scalding hot coolant and
steam may blow out under pressure.
This could cause burns or other
serious injury.

While operating your vehicle:
• Note any changes in the sound
of the exhaust or any smell of
exhaust fumes in the vehicle.
• Check for vibrations in the
steering wheel. Notice any
increased steering effort or
looseness in the steering wheel,
or change in its straightahead
position.
• Notice if your vehicle constantly
turns slightly or "pulls" to one side
when traveling on smooth, level
road.
• When stopping, listen and check
for unusual sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel
or "hard-to-push" brake pedal.
• If any slipping or changes in the
operation of your transmission
occurs, check the transmission
fluid level.
• Check manual transmission
operation, including clutch
operation.
• Check the parking brake.
• Check for fluid leaks under your
vehicle (water dripping from the
air conditioning system during or
after use is normal).
At least monthly:
• Check the coolant level in the
engine coolant reservoir.
• Check the operation of all exterior
lights, including the stoplights,
turn signals and hazard warning
flashers.
