sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges.

Check the tires (including spare) for
proper cold inflation pressure.

brake lights and exterior lights while you
work the controls. Check turn signal and
high beam indicator lights on the
instrument panel.

locking.

overnight parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or
other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes
