Service and Maintenance

11-11

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, 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.

Wheel Alignment

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

.

need to be adjusted include
pulling, improper vehicle
handling, or unusual tire wear.

.

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