4. Checking and replacing worn-out wiper blades.
5. Inspecting and topping up fluid levels (brake fluid, coolant, power steering fluid).
6. Cleaning and testing the battery.

Corrective Maintenance on a Car: corrective maintenance refers to repairs done after a car develops a fault.Examples include:

1. Fixing a flat tire or replacing it.
2. Repairing or replacing the brake system.
