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. Also see “Wiper Blades.
Cleaning” in the Index.
Manual Transmission Check
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed. See
“Manual Transmission” in the Index. Check for leaks.
A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Have the system
inspected and repaired
if
needed.
It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. Check for leaks.
If
a
leak occurs, take the vehicle to
your
GM dealership Service Department and have it
repaired as
soon as possible.
