As part of the 21st Century Tune-up on today’s modern vehicles, the following systems should be inspected:

• 

  Battery, Charging and Starting

• 

  Engine Mechanical

• 

  Power Train Control

• 

  Fuel

• 

  Ignition

• 

  Emissions

Vehicle owners ask for tune-ups for a variety of reasons, including improving performance, maintaining reliability, planning a vacation, preparing for winter/summer or because they’re giving the car to a friend or family member.

To help ensure good performance, fuel economy and emissions, the Car Care Council also recommends that motorists take the time necessary to become familiar with their vehicle from every aspect. Study the owner’s manual to become thoroughly acquainted with the operation of all systems. Pay special attention to the indicator lights and instruments.
