Inspect
    Vehicle
      Check and top up fluid levels: brake, coolant recovery reservoir, fuel coolant recovery reservoir, manual and automatic transmission, power steering and window washer. Inspect tires for wear and check air pressure, including spare. Check exhaust system for leaks, damage, loose parts, and foreign material. Check that holes in the tail-pipe of the exhaust system are clear of debris; the holes/slots are functional. Check battery performance. Check operation of horn, exterior lamps, turn signals and hazard warning lights. Check radiator, coolers, heater and air conditioning hoses. Inspect windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Check windshield for cracks, chips and pitting. Inspect for oil and fluid leaks. Inspect engine air filter. Check shocks and struts and other suspension components for leaks and damage.
