Not all repairs, adjustments and replacements, however, are the result of defects in material or workmanship. There are other circumstances beyond the control
of the manufacturer that might make a workshop visit necessary. These depend mainly on where you drive and how you drive. They would include weather and
atmospheric conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage.
For example, you are required to pay for the following:
Maintenance services and oil changes
Wheel alignment and wheel balancing —the frequency of such services depends on driving conditions such as rapid starts and stops, tire skidding,
hitting pot holes end curbs, etc.
Mechanical adjustments —including brake, clutch, door locks are required as a matter of normal operation of a motor vehicle. This protects you against
early or expensive replacements.
Brake end clutch linings —are directly affected by driving habits and use. The replacement of these linings and the reconditioning of brake drums should be
performed whenever necessary
Spark plugs and ignition points —are subject to wear. Periodic replacements ensure you of maximum engine performance and gasoline economy.
Wiper blades —life expectancy will vary widely depending on climatic conditions and extent of use. You are the best judge to decide when they should be
replaced.
Light bulbs and fuses —are service items.
Paint, chrome, trim and other appearance items —are affected by normal wear and exposure. Proper care of these items can add to their
appearance and durability. (Imperfections are normally apparent during New Vehicle pre-delivery inspection. For your protection, please report any imperfection
to your Dealer immediately after you notice it.)
Tires and batteries —are subject to wear. If there is a defect you pay only for the amount of use you have gotten. An adjustment for tires is based on the
remaining tread depth, for batteries on time used based on 36 months of service. This is known as the pro-rata method of adjustment.
