Preliminary Inspections
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Visually inspect easily accessible brake system components for obvious damage and/or leaks which may indicate that the vehicle should not be driven until further inspections have been completed.
- Inspect the brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level and adjust only if necessary for brake system road testing. Refer to Master Cylinder Reservoir Filling.
- Inspect the tire inflation pressures and adjust as necessary.
- Inspect the tire tread patterns to ensure that they are the same or very similar, especially per axle.
- Ensure that the vehicle is not loaded unevenly prior to brake system road testing.
