Light Operation Check:
Check operation of license plate light, side marker lights, headlights (including high beams), parking lights, tail lights, brake lights, turn signals, reverse lights, instrument panel illumination, and hazard warning flasher. Service as necessary.
Fluid Leak Check:
After the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours, inspect the surface beneath this vehicle for signs of water, coolant, oil, fuel, or other fluids. If the air conditioning system was used, a small amount of water under the vehicle is normal. If you notice fuel leaks or fumes, the cause should be found and corrected at once.
Cassette Tape Player Care:
Clean cassette tape head after each 30 hours of play. Saturn cassette players have a "clean" indicator on the display which activates after approximately 30 hours of play. See the "Comfort Controls and Audio System" section for more details.
Inspections to Complete After the Oil and Filter Have Been Changed
Brake System Inspection:
For convenience, the following inspections should be done when wheels are removed for rotation:
| • | Lines and hoses for proper installation, binding, leaks, cracks, and chafing. |
| • | Disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. |
| • | Drum brake linings for wear and cracks. |
| • | All other brake parts, e.g., drums and wheel cylinders, including ABS wheel sensors, etc. |
| • | Parking brake adjustment. Refer to the "Parking Brake" portion of your Owner's Handbook. |
Transaxle Inspection:
Inspect transaxle fluid level (manual and automatic). Add the proper fluid, if necessary. A fluid loss may indicate a problem, Check the system and repair as necessary.
Important: Inspect brakes more often if driving habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
Throttle Linkage Inspection:
Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding, and for damage or missing parts. Replace parts as needed.
