Check the pressure more often if
daily checks show it's needed.
(Refer to "Recommended Daily
(Pre-operation) Inspections" under
).
Change tire pressure as needed
when changing loads.
F: Brakes :
Be alert to illumination
of the brake system warning light or
brake low vacuum warning light or
the tone alarm, or changes in
braking action, such as repeated
pulling to one side, unusual sounds
when braking, increased brake
pedal travel or harder pedal. The
front and rear brakes are attached
to an auto adjuster mechanism.
If there are no defects, as the pedal
travel is properly maintained,
adjustments are not necessary.
Check regularly that the brake fluid
reservoir (left-hand side of the
instrument panel) is properly filled
and check for fluid leaks. Any of
these conditions could indicate the
need for brake system inspection
and/or service.
G: Exhaust System :
Be alert for
any changes in the sound of the
exhaust system or any smell of
fumes. These are signs the system
may be leaking. Have it checked
and/or repaired at once. (Refer to
"Engine Exhaust Emissions Caution
(Carbon Monoxide)" under
H: Windshield Wipers and
Washers :
Check operation and
condition of the wiper blades. Check
the flow of the washer spray.
I: Defroster :
Turn the outlet
selector knob to "Defroster" and the
fan speed control knob to the fully
clockwise position. Then check the
airflow from the ducts at the inside
base of the windshield.
J: Rearview Mirrors and Sun
Visors :
Check that friction joints
hold mirrors and sun visors in place.
K: Horn :
Sound the horn, now and
then, to be sure it works.
L: Lap-Shoulder Belts :
Check the
seat belt system (including webbing,
buckles, latch plates and anchors)
for proper operation, and for
damage.
M: Seat Adjusters :
When
adjusting the driver's manual seat,
be sure the seat adjusters latch by
pushing the seat forward and
backward. Do not attempt to adjust
the seat when the vehicle is in
motion.
N: Lamps :
Check panel lighting,
warning lamps, indicator lamps and
interior lamps. On the outside,
check: license plate lamps, side
marker lamps, reflectors on outside
mirrors, headlamps, parking lamps,
identification and clearance lamps,
taillights, brake lamps, turn signals,
cornering lamps, backup lamps and
hazard warning flashers. Have
headlamp aim checked immediately
if beams seem improperly aimed.
