cuts and cracks. Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for proper pressure.

Beam Indicator Lights on the instrument panel.

Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching, and locking.

brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be
located and corrected immediately.
