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 miss areas of the windshield. Also see
Cleaning the Outside
of
Your Vehicle on page 5-93.
Spare Tire Check
At
least twice a year, after the monthly inflation check of
the spare tire determines that the spare is inflated
to
the correct tire inflation pressure, make sure that
the spare tire is stored securely. Push, pull, and then
try
to
rotate or turn the tire. If it moves, use the wheel
wrenchhatchet
to
tighten the cable. See Changing a Flat
Tire on page
5-74.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Restriction
Indicator Check
6.0
L Engine Only: Your vehicle has an engine air
cleaner filter restriction indicator located on the
air cleaner in the engine compartment. The indicator
lets you know when the air cleaner filter is dirty
and needs
to
be changed. Check the indicator at least
twice a year or when your engine oil is changed,
whichever occurs first. See Engine Air Cleaner/Filter on
page
5-19
for more information. Inspect your air
cleaner filter restriction indicator more often
if
the vehicle
is used in dusty areas or under
off
road conditions.

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- 16.
Automatic Transmission Check
Check the transmission fluid level; add
if
needed.
See
Automatic Transmission Fluid on page 5-21. A fluid
loss
may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair
if
needed.
