Brakes
Obviously, brakes are an important safety device. You should have your brakes inspected as part of your routine service. Any sign of poor braking performance should be addressed immediately.
Filters
All the filters on your vehicle should be replaced as part of a regular service regimen. Air and fuel filters should be examined on a regular basis and changed as required.
Tires
Tire pressure should be checked regularly. Proper tire inflation is not only a fundamental component of safe driving, but also ensures optimum tire life. Damaged tires should be replaced immediately.
Cooling System
Have your cooling system checked as part of your maintenance program. Problems with your cooling system could lead to excessive engine wear. If cooling system problems are not addressed, it will lead to expensive repairs.
Fluids
Oil should be changed every 3000 Miles or 3 months, which ever comes first. You should also check engine coolant, transmission and power steering fluid, as well as brake fluid.
Spark Plugs
It is essential to replace spark plugs in accordance to the intervals specified in your owner's manual. Worn spark plugs will result in poor engine performance and may cause excessive emission outputs.
Emission Control System
The emission control system is currently being examined by the Drive Clean Program. A malfunctioning emission control system can also lead to poor fuel economy and performance.
Suspension
Your suspension system not only absorbs bumps, but also ensures proper tire-to-road contact. Worn suspension components compromise steering control and may lead to premature tire wear.
Wipers and Lights
Inspect your windshield wipers regularly. Worn windshield wiper blades will cause streaking that can impair visibility. Periodically walk around your vehicle to ensure all lights are working. This includes brake, tail, signal and headlights.
