Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear, cracking, or
contamination. Clean the windshield and wiper blades,
if contaminated. Replace wiper blades that are worn
or damaged. See Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement
on page 5-49 and Windshield and Wiper Blades on
page 5-84 for more information.
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 6-23.
Manual Transmission Check
It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid level.
Check for leaks. A fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. Have the system inspected and repaired if needed.
Automatic Transmission Check
Check the transmission fluid level; add if needed.
A fluid loss may indicate a problem. Check the
system and repair if needed.
Hydraulic Clutch System Check
Check the fluid level in the brake/clutch reservoir.
See Hydraulic Clutch on page 5-21. A fluid loss in
this system could indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired at once.
