page 5-60 for further details.

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. Also see
Cleaning the Outside
of
Your Vehicle on page 5-88.
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
ratchevwheel wrench
to
tighten the cable. See Changing
a Flat Tire on page 5-69.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Restriction
indicator Check
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 C/eaner/Filter on page
5-79
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.
