Tire And Wheel Assembly Inspection And Pressure Check
Check tires for abnormal wear or damage. Also check for damaged wheel assemblies. Pressure should be checked when tires are "cold." Maintain pressures as shown on the Tire Placard on the driver's or instrument panel compartment door.
Lamp Operation
Check operation of the license plate lamp, sidemarker lamps, headlamps (including high beams), fog lamps, parking lamps, taillamps, brake lamps (including the center high-mounted stoplamp), turn signals, backup lamps, hazard warning flasher and interior lamps.
Fluid Leak Check
Periodically inspect the surface beneath the vehicle for water, oil, fuel or other fluids after the vehicle has been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioning system after use is normal. The cause of fuel leaks or fumes should be found and corrected at once. A fluid loss in any system (except windshield washer) may indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired at once.
Cassette Deck Cleaning
Cassette deck cleaning should be done every 50 hours of tape play.
