DRLs are on more than your headlights. They burn out faster and should be replaced regularly
Burnt out brake lights increase your chance of getting rear ended - check and change yours today
Don't send mixed signals - if your turn signal doesn't blink, or blinks rapidly, you likely have a burnt out bulb
The rear wiper that you forgot you had until it streaks horrifically on a rainy day? Change it now!

The video above shows you the steps needed to check the power steering fluid level in your 2000 Suzuki Vitara. Checking the power steering fluid level in your Vitara is relatively easy and should be done once a month or if you are experienced difficulty turning the wheel or steering your Vitara. Your Vitara should be parked on a level surface and your 1.6 liter engine should be cold to the touch.
If the power steering fluid level in your Vitara is low, fill it up to the maximum line with power steering fluid and check it again in a week to determine if you have a leak. The power steering fluid reservoir will typically have a symbol of a steering wheel on the cap. Likewise, if your Vitara has electric power steering, you may see a steering wheel picture with an explanation point next to it on your dashboard to indicate power steering problems.
