Some examples of challenging driving conditions could include:
- Frequent short journeys
- Multiple trips in stop-start traffic
- Towing heavy loads
- Rough terrain

Your local dealership can provide advice that’s customized to meet the precise demands of your driving habits.

- Dashboard warning lights
