General tuneup is plugs, plug wires, air filter and change the oil and oil filter. Then fuel filter.
Brakes will take you about 1 1/2 and should at least be checked.
Check your tire pressure.
Check your clutch cable play, often it is kinda loose and needs the lock nuts (on the cable on top of the tranny), adjusted to take up some slop. (that is if you have a manual). If its an auto I would flush the tranny and get new tranny fluid.
Check the powersteering fluid and brake fluid level.
Check tranny fluid level.
Check the battery posts and if they are corroded, CLEAN THEM!!!!. If really bad, get new cables. YOu will have to splice some wiring in, but its better than having a pissy electrical car.

Welcome to the LCO. You came to the right place for answers. You'll find a lot of what you're looking for by using the "Search" function at the top of your screen.
when manual hold on: the trans. stays in second when indicator is in second, and when in third shifts between second and third only. for slipperry conditions.
