Pontiac 2009 Vibe - Manual (Page 284)

Part C: Periodic
Maintenance Inspections
Listed in this part are inspections
and services which should be
performed at least twice a year,
for instance, each spring and fall.
You should let your dealer/retailer
do these jobs. Make sure any
necessary repairs are completed
at once.
Proper procedures to perform these
services can be found in a service
manual. See Service Publications
Ordering Information on page 12-16.
Steering, Suspension
and Front Drive Axle
Boot and Seal Inspection
Inspect the front and rear
suspension and steering system for
damaged, loose, or missing parts
or signs of wear. Inspect power
steering cables for proper hook-up,
binding, cracks, chafing, etc.
Clean and then inspect the drive
axle boot seals for damage,
tears, or leakage. Replace seals
if necessary.
Exhaust System
Inspection
Inspect the complete exhaust
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.
See Engine Exhaust on page 8-16.
Fuel System Inspection
Inspect the complete fuel system for
damage or leaks.
