Car controls (view report contents)

Maintenance

Your supplier will tell you how often you need to have controls serviced - usually every year. They should be checked for weak links, weak or stretched cables, ease of movement, electrical connections and for general wear. Generally:

  • keep equipment clean, especially moving parts
  • keep controls away from water
  • make sure bolts and fixings are tight.
