Vehicle

Tires
Examine tires for tread wear or uneven wear patterns.
Check for stones, nails, glass or other objects lodged in
the tread.

Inspect for tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check wheel
nuts for tightness and tires for proper pressure.

Lights
Check the operation of all exterior lights. Check turn
signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument
panel.

Door Latches
Check for positive closing, latching and locking.

Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel,
water, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if fuel fumes are
detected the cause should be located and corrected.
