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.
Vehicle Care
To help keep the vehicle looking
like new, vehicle care products
are available from your dealer.
For information on how to clean
and protect the vehicle s interior
and exterior, see Interior Care on
page 10 86 and Exterior Care on
page 10 83.
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.
Service and Maintenance
Windshield
For safety, appearance, and the
best viewing, keep the windshield
clean and clear.
Signs of damage include
scratches, cracks, and chips.
Trained dealer technicians
can inspect the windshield and
recommend proper replacement
if needed.
Wiper Blades
Wiper blades need to be cleaned
and kept in good condition to
provide a clear view.
Signs of wear include streaking,
skipping across the windshield,
and worn or split rubber.
Trained dealer technicians can
check the wiper blades and
replace them when needed.
