Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages are
working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged
safety belt system parts.
If
you see anything that might
keep a safety belt system from doing its job, have it
repaired. Have any torn
or
frayed safety belts 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
m i s s
areas of the windshield. Also see "Wiper Blades,
Cleaning" in the Index,
Manual Transaxle Check
Check the transaxle fluid level; add
if
needed. See
"Manual Transaxle" in the Index. Check for leaks.
A
fluid loss may indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired if needed,
Automatic Transaxle Check
(Except 2.4L Code T Engine)
Check the transaxle fluid level; add if needed. S e e
"Automatic Transaxle" in the Index. A fluid loss
may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
if needed.
Automatic Transaxle Inspection
(2.4L Code T Engine Only)
If
you have the optional 2.4L Code
T
engine (see
"Engine Identification" in the Index) and an automatic
transaxle,
it is not
necsessary

transaxle fluid
level. A transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. Check for leaks. If a leak occurs, take
the
vehicle to
your Pontiac dealership Service Department and have it
repaired as soon as possible. You may also have your
fluid checked by your dealer or service center when you
have your engine oil changed.
Hydraulic Clutch System Check
Check the fluid level in the clutch reservoir. See
"Hydraulic Clutch Fluid" in the Index. A fluid loss in
this system could indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired at once.
