explain the services and conditions
to look for that may indicate
services are required.

the diagnostic equipment to test
the battery and ensure that the
connections and cables are
corrosion-free.
Belts

squeak or show signs of
cracking or splitting.
. Trained dealer technicians have
access to tools and equipment
to inspect the belts and
recommend adjustment or
replacement when necessary. .
A message may indicate when
scheduled maintenance on the
timing belt and other
components is required.

crucial to safe driving.
. Signs of brake wear may include
chirping, grinding, or squealing
noises, or difficulty stopping.
. Trained dealer technicians have
access to tools and equipment
to inspect the brakes and
