Maintenance and Service Guide
WHILE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE:
❑ Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust
fumes in the vehicle.
❑ Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased
steering effort or looseness in the steering wheel.
❑ Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when travelling on smooth level road.
❑ When stopping, listen and check for strange sounds, pulling to one
side, increased brake pedal travel or “hard to push” brake pedal.
❑ If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transmission occur,
check the transmission fluid level.
❑ Check automatic transmission (P) PARK function.
❑ Check for fluid leaks under your vehicle (water dripping from the air
conditioning system after use is normal).
❑ Check warning lights and gauges.
AT LEAST MONTHLY:
❑ Check the tire pressure - check tires when cold, not after a long drive.
❑ Check coolant level in the coolant recovery reservoir.
❑ Check the operation of all exterior lamps, including the brake lamps,
turn signals and hazard warning flashers.
