Also look for any opened or broken airbag coverings,

and have them repaired or replaced. (The airbag system

does not need regular maintenance.)

Wiper Blade Check

Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace

blade inserts that appear worn or damaged or that

streak or miss areas of the windshield. Also see

Windshield and Wiper Blades on page 5-89.

Spare Tire Check

At least twice a year, after the monthly inﬂation check

of the spare tire determines that the spare is inﬂated to

the correct tire inﬂation pressure, make sure that the

spare tire is stored securely. Push, pull, and then try

to rotate or turn the tire. If it moves, use the wheel

wrench to tighten the cable. See Changing a Flat Tire

on page 5-72.

Weatherstrip Lubrication

Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last

longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply

silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,

damp weather more frequent application may be

required. See Part D: Recommended Fluids and

Lubricants on page 6-29.

Automatic Transmission Check

Check the transmission ﬂuid level; add if needed. See

Automatic Transmission Fluid on page 5-23. A ﬂuid loss

may indicate a problem. Check the system and repair

if needed.

At Least Once a Year

Key Lock Cylinders Service

latch assembly, secondary latch, pivots, spring anchor,

release pawl and any moving seat hardware. Lubricate

the hood safety lever pivot and prop rod pivot. Part D

tells you what to use. More frequent lubrication may be

required when exposed to a corrosive environment.
