Listed below are inspections and services which should be performed at least twice a year, for instance, each spring and fall. A dealer's service department or qualified service center should perform these inspections. All repairs should be completed at once.

Inspect the front and the rear suspension and steering system for damaged, loose or missing parts, signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Inspect the power steering lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Clean and then inspect the drive axle boot seals for damage, tears or leakage. Service the vehicle as necessary.

Inspect the complete system. Inspect the body near the exhaust system. Look for broken, damaged, missing or out-of-position parts as well as open seams, holes, loose connections or other conditions which could cause a heat build-up in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes into the vehicle. Service the vehicle as necessary.

Inspect the complete fuel system for damage or leaks.

Inspect the hoses and replace them if they are cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes, fittings and clamps; replace as needed. Clean the outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser. To help ensure proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling system and pressure cap is recommended at least once per year.

Important: The accelerator and cruise control cables should not be lubricated under any condition. Throttle system components causing hesitation or sticking should be replaced.

Inspect the following:

Inspect the complete system. Inspect the brake lines and the hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect the disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts, including calipers, parking brake, etc. The brakes may need to be inspected more often if driving habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
