PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION (PDI)

The factory-installed shipping spacers in the front coil springs pro-

vide additional clearance during vehicle transportation and MUST

be removed when performing the PDI. With the vehicle on a hoist,

remove the shipping spacer and repeat for the other side.

The factory-installed rear disc brake rotor protection covers also

MUST be removed when performing the PDI. With the vehicle on

a hoist, rotate the wheel while at the same time pulling the torn

end of the cover away from the disc brake rotor and wheel. Ensure

that all material is removed and repeat for the other side.

In addition, check

the tire air pressure

during PDI. The pres-

sures are set higher

for shipping. The tires

pressure should be

set at 36 lbs. Refer

to the Tire and Load-

ing Information Label

near the driver’s door

latch.

New Service Information Text Formats and Graphics

The Service Information is getting a new

look in 2014. When referring to some repair

procedures, technicians will notice better

graphics and more direct text information

along with a reduction in the number of

links to removal procedures. The implemen-

tation of these graphics and text will start

with the 2014 model year, and there will

be a mix of the new and old styles as new

procedures are written.

New Graphics

Newly developed graphics are replacing

the current line style graphics in some ser-

vice procedures. The new, larger shaded

graphics feature a more realistic image

with better part and background deﬁnition.

The callouts are captured inside the

graphic image.

Graphics will feature three shadings:

Part – darkest grey shading

Background – lighter grey shading

Fasteners – red

The use of color on fasteners will help them

stand out, while still being able to print

clearly in black and white.

The higher resolution graphics also have

better graphic quality when magniﬁed.

When viewing the Service Information on

Internet Explorer 8 or 9, use the % button

in the bottom right corner to increase text

size without distorting the graphic quality.

Text Strings

Text strings are being introduced in the

Service Information procedures in an effort

to increase consistency and commonize

global phrases. The text strings are com-

mon, predeﬁned, ﬁxed phrases.

Two styles of text strings will be used in

service information:

• Sentence Text Strings are used when

frequently used procedure steps require

additional explanation. They are com-

plete sentences that contain the neces-

sary elements to describe an action or

a fact. For example: [Apply grease to

the fastener, otherwise the threads will

strip out.]

• Chained (Component) Text Strings

contain a component name and an action

verb. They are used when little explana-

tion is required to complete the step. For

example: [Engine Control Module ][

]

[Remove ]

In a procedure with text strings:

•

A chevron (») is followed by the action verb

•

An X in brackets indicates the number of

parts to remove/install

• RPO codes or optional equipment are

shown in brackets {RPO}

• An @ symbol is used where “from the”

or “to the” was used before.

Text string usage is currently being imple-

mented for Mechanical Service Information

only. Electrical Service Information text

string usage is still under development and

will be implemented in the future. Both text

string styles may appear in the same ser-

vice procedure along with free ﬂow text.

Thanks to Bob Scherer, Kevin Jakobiak

and Peter Allen

The part is now colored dark gray and

fasteners are colored red.

Graphics and text can be magniﬁed

without any loss in resolution.

An X in brackets indicates the

number of parts

The @ symbol means “from the”

or “to the”

More concise new style text

Remove the spacer in the front springs.
