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 airbag coverings, and have them repaired or replaced. (The airbag 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 miss areas of the windshield. Also see Windshield, Backglass, and Wiper Blades on page 5-86.

Weatherstrip Lubrication

Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold, damp weather more frequent application may be required. See Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-19.

Fluid Level Check

Check the power steering pump, rear axle, transfer case, and automatic or manual transaxle ﬂuid levels and add as needed. See Power Steering Fluid on page 5-35and Automatic Transaxle Fluid on page 5-21or Manual Transaxle Fluid on page 5-24. Check for leaks. A ﬂuid loss in these systems could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired at once.
