MAINTENANCE II

1. CHANGE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER. Reset oil life system. Refer to Service Reminder Indicators. An Emission Control Service.

2. VISUALLY CHECK FOR ANY LEAKS OR DAMAGE. A fluid loss in any vehicle system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired and the fluid level checked. Add fluid if needed.

3. INSPECT ENGINE AIR CLEANER FILTER. If necessary, replace filter. If you drive regularly under dusty conditions or in high-polluted regions, replace the filter at each engine oil change.

4. ROTATE TIRES AND CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES AND WEAR. Refer to Owner Checks and Service, "Tire Wear Inspection" in At Least Once a Month.

5. INSPECT BRAKE SYSTEM. Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts, including calipers, parking brake, etc.

6. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT AND WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID LEVELS AND ADD FLUID AS NEEDED.

7. PERFORM ANY NEEDED ADDITIONAL SERVICES. Refer to "Additional Required Services".

8. INSPECT SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS. Inspect front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged, loose, or missing parts or signs of wear. Inspect power steering cables for proper hook-up, binding, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect power steering hydraulic lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc.

9. INSPECT ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM. Inspect hoses and have them replaced if they are cracked, swollen, or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes, fittings and clamps; replace with genuine parts as needed. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling system and pressure cap and cleaning the outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is recommended at least once a year.

10. INSPECT WIPER BLADES. Inspect wiper blades for wear, cracking, or contamination. Clean the windshield and wiper blades, if contaminated. Replace wiper blades that are worn or damaged.

11. INSPECT RESTRAINT SYSTEM COMPONENTS. Make sure the safety belt reminder light and safety belt assemblies 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.

12. LUBRICATE BODY COMPONENTS. Lubricate all key lock cylinders, door hinges and latches, hood hinges and latches, and trunk lid hinges and latches. More frequent lubrication may be required when exposed to a corrosive environment. Applying silicone grease on weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make them last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.
