Brake System Inspection
Inspect the following when wheel assemblies are removed for rotation or twice a year:
- Lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.
- Disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition.
- Drum brake linings for wear and cracks.
- Other brake parts, including drums, wheel cylinders, parking brake, etc.
- Inspect and lubricate the caliper pins and knuckle brake pad abutments when operating in a corrosive environment.
- Inspect brakes more often if habit or conditions result in frequent braking.
- ABS wheel sensors (if equipped).
Adjust the parking brake as required.
Power Steering Or Hydro-boost Reservoir Level (if equipped)
Check and add fluid if necessary.
Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir Level
Check fluid. Keep fluid at proper level. A low fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads which may need to be serviced.
Restraint System
Inspect belt system, including webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractor, guide loops and anchors. On vehicles equipped with air bags, inspect for opened or broken covers. Repair or replace as necessary. The air bag system does not require routine service, but should be inspected 10 years from the date of manufacture on the certification label.
Weatherstrip Lubrication
Clean the surface and then apply a thin film of silicone grease using a clean cloth.
Clutch Pedal Free Travel (if equipped)
Check the clutch pedal free travel and adjust as necessary.
Clutch Fluid Reservoir (if equipped)
Check fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
Transfer Case (if equipped)
Check fluid level and add fluid if necessary.
Universal/CV Joints
Lubricate and inspect joints for damage and general condition. Check CV boots for cracks, damage or leakage. Replace or repair as necessary.
