Section C: Periodic Maintenance
Inspections
Listed below are inspections and services which should
be performed at least twice a year (for instance, each
spring and fall). You should let your GM dealer's
service department or other qualified service center do
these jobs. Make sure any necessary repairs are
completed at once.

Inspection
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Now and then, make sure all your belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly. Look for any loose
parts or damage. If you see anything
that might keep a restraint system from
doing its job, have it repaired.
Inspect the front and rear suspension
and steering system for damaged, loose
or missing parts, signs of wear, or lack
of lubrication. Inspect the power
steering lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Clean and then inspect the
drive axle boot seals for damage, tears
or leakage. Replace seals if necessary.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Inspect the complete exhaust system.
Inspect the body near the exhaust
system. Look for broken, damaged,
missing or out-of-position parts as well
as open seams, holes, loose connections,
or other conditions which could cause a
heat build-up in the floor pan or could let
exhaust fumes into the vehicle. See
"Engine Exhaust" in the Index.
Inspect the throttle linkage for
interference or binding, and for
damaged or missing parts. Replace
parts as needed.
