Owner maintenance checks AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR: (I.E., EVERY SPRING AND FALL) ❑ Check radiator, heater and air-conditioning hoses for leaks or damage. ❑ Check windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Check and replace worn wiper blades. ❑ Check for worn tires and loose wheel lug nuts. ❑ Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields and clamps. ❑ Check headlamp alignment. ❑ Check the lap-shoulder belts for wear and function. ❑ Check air pressure in the spare tire. ❑ Inspect halfshaft dust boots.
