Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust

system, when exhaust fumes can be detected inside the

vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is

damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the com-

plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken,

damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open

seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes

to seep into the passenger compartment. In addition,

inspect the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised

for lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.

Safety Checks You Should Make Inside The
Vehicle

Seat Belts
Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for

cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be

replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the

system.

Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a

collision. Rear seat belt assemblies must be replaced after

a collision if they have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor,

torn webbing, etc.). If there is any question regarding seat

belt or retractor condition, replace the seat belt.
Air Bag Warning Light

The light should come on and remain on for four

to eight seconds as a bulb check when the

ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is

not lit during starting, see your authorized

dealer. If the light stays on, flickers, or comes on while

driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place

the blower control on high speed. You should be able to feel

the air directed against the windshield. See your autho-

rized dealer for service if your defroster is inoperable.
