Periodic Safety Checks You Should
Make Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven
wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other
objects lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the
tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect sidewalls for cuts,
cracks, and bulges. Check the wheel nuts for tight-
ness. Check the tires (including spare) for proper
cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake
lights and exterior lights while you work the controls.
Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on
the instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under the vehicle after overnight park-
ing for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if
gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel, or brake fluid
leaks are suspected. The cause should be located
and corrected immediately.
