important to see and be seen on
the road.
.Signs that the headlamps need
attention include dimming, failure

checked periodically to ensure

. With a multi-point inspection,
your dealer can check the lamps
and note any concerns.
Shocks and Struts
Shocks and struts help aid in control
for a smoother ride.
. Signs of wear may include
