Additional Checks/Inspections

AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR

BODY LUBRICATION SERVICE:
Lubricate all the body door hinges, check links, e.g., hood, sunroof, and headlight door assemblies (if equipped) every 6 months or 6,000 miles (10,000 km). Also, lubricate all interior hinges and latches, e.g., glove box and any folding seat hardware.

CLUTCH SYSTEM SERVICE:
Check the hydraulic clutch system reservoir fluid level and add as needed.

RESTRAINT SYSTEM CHECK
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all the belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages are working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged safety belt system parts including built in child restraint system parts. If anything is seen that might keep a restraint system from doing it's job, have it repaired. Have any torn or frayed seat belts replaced. Also look for any opened or broken Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) covers, and have them replaced. (The air bag system does not need regular maintenance.)
