Seat Belts

Check that every belt latches, retracts and locks under a sharp tug, and that none are frayed.

Check coolant level and color, look for leaks, and confirm the engine reaches normal temperature without overheating.

Vehicle Speed Control

Test cruise control and throttle response, and watch for any hesitation or unintended acceleration.

Suspension

Listen for clunks over bumps, check the car sits level, and look for uneven tire wear and worn shocks or struts.
