Interior of the vehicle

• Check that the seat belts operate properly and smoothly. Check belt webbing for wear or damage.
  
• Be sure all gauges - fuel, oil, temperature and battery - function properly and indicate normal levels.
  
• SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES .... BUCKLE UP
  
• Pedal should be firm and vehicle shouldn't pull to one side while stopping.
  
• Check for steering? Wheel vibration, hard steering or strange noises.
  
• If vehicle pulls to one side contact customer service representative.
  
• Accelerator pedal should not catch or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.
  
• Make sure, headlights, stoplights, taillights and turn signals operate properly.
  Check that wipers and washers are working and do not streak.
  
• Ensure that air or heat comes out of the defroster outlets properly and in sufficient quantity.

  Fuel

• Use only gasoline with the octane recommended in your owner's manual. A common misconception is that octane measures the quality or power capabilities of gas. But octane is simply the measurement of gasoline's resistance to detonation or pinging. So using higher-than-recommended octane gas is a waste of money, while lower-than-recommended octane will result in poor performance and increased operating costs.
  
• Be sure to avoid running the tank too close to empty. Gas impurities and sediments collect at the bottom of your tank and cause problems if drawn into the fuel line.

Roadside safety

• Get your vehicle completely off the road and away from traffic.
  
• Never stand near the edge of the highway while checking the vehicle.
  
• Turn on your hazard warning flashers and raise the hood to warn traffic and signal that you need assistance.

Flat Tires

• Park on a level and solid surface. Apply parking brake and shift manual transmission into "Reverse" or automatic transmission into "Park".
  
• If you decide to change your tire yourself, follow your vehicles' specific jacking instructions listed in your owner's manual.
  
• Never change tires when vehicle is on a slope, ice or slippery area. Also never change tires if oncoming traffic is close to your vehicle.
  
• Observe the mileage limitations on the temporary spare, and return jack and other tools to their proper and secure locations when finished.
