Additional
Maintenance and Care
Your vehicle is an important
investment and caring for it properly
may help to avoid future costly
repairs. To maintain vehicle
performance, additional
maintenance services may be
required. It is recommended that
your dealer perform these services
— their trained dealer technicians
know your vehicle best. Your dealer
can also perform a thorough
assessment with a multi
‐ point
inspection to recommend when your
vehicle may need attention. The
following list is intended to explain
the services and conditions to look
for that may indicate services are
required.
Battery

the engine and operate any
additional electrical accessories.
. To avoid break ‐ down or failure to
start the vehicle, maintain a
battery with full cranking power.
. Trained dealer technicians have
the diagnostic equipment to test
the battery and ensure that the
connections and cables are
corrosion
‐ free.
Belts
. Belts may need replacing if they
squeak or show signs of
cracking or splitting.
. Trained dealer technicians can
inspect the belts and
recommend replacement when
necessary.
Brakes

crucial to safe driving.
. Signs of brake wear may include
chirping, grinding, or squealing
noises, or difficulty stopping.

access to tools and equipment
to inspect the brakes and
recommend quality parts
engineered for the vehicle.

fluids protect the vehicle
’ s systems
