At
Least Twice a Year
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 miss areas of the windshield.

Spare Tire Check

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

Tire

Engine
Air
Cleaner Filter
Indicator Check
Your vehicle may be equipped with
Restriction
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 CleanedFilter
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.
