Service and Maintenance

327

Lamps

Properly working headlamps,
taillamps, and brake lamps are
important to see and be seen on
the road.

.

Signs that the headlamps need
attention include dimming, failure
to light, cracking, or damage.
The brake lamps need to be
checked periodically to ensure
that they light when braking.

.

With a multi-point inspection,
your dealer can check the lamps
and note any concerns.

Shocks and Struts

Shocks and struts help aid in control
for a smoother ride.

.

Signs of wear may include
steering wheel vibration, bounce/
sway while braking, longer
stopping distance, or uneven
tire wear.

.

As part of the multi-point
inspection, trained dealer
technicians can visually inspect
the shocks and struts for signs

of leaking, blown seals,
or damage, and can advise
when service is needed.

Tires

Tires need to be properly inflated,
rotated, and balanced. Maintaining
the tires can save money and fuel,
and can reduce the risk of tire
failure.

.

Signs that the tires need to be
replaced include three or more
visible treadwear indicators; cord
or fabric showing through the
rubber; cracks or cuts in the
tread or sidewall; or a bulge or
split in the tire.

.

Trained dealer technicians can
inspect and recommend the right
tires. Your dealer can also
provide tire/wheel balancing
services to ensure smooth
vehicle operation at all speeds.
Your dealer sells and services
name brand tires.

Vehicle Care

To help keep the vehicle looking like
new, vehicle care products are
available from your dealer. For

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment is critical for
ensuring that the tires deliver
optimal wear and performance.

.

Signs that the alignment may
need to be adjusted include
pulling, improper vehicle
handling, or unusual tire wear.

.

Your dealer has the required
equipment to ensure proper
wheel alignment.

Windshield

For safety, appearance, and the
best viewing, keep the windshield
clean and clear.

.

Signs of damage include
scratches, cracks, and chips.
