Wiper Blade Check
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-in child
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. 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
should be inspected by a qualified technician 10 years
from the manufacture date on the Certification label.
After 10 years from the manufacture date, have the
system inspected every 24 months. (The Certification
label is located on the rear edge of the driver's door.)
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.
Fluid Level Check
Check the power steering pump, hydraulic clutch and
automatic or manual transaxle fluid levels and add as
needed. See "Power Steering," "Hydraulic Clutch" and
"Automatic Transaxle" or "Manual Transaxle" in the
Index. Check for leaks. A fluid loss in these systems
could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired at once.
