This book is actual old with new pictures and few edited text. Instruction mostly not comply with mfg manual come with the car. The instructions for basic care & maintenance are same as for other vehicles that was old models from last century. Car owner (not mechanic) needs to know the "new technology" of the car is designed in order to maintain properly, such as how to use Floor Jack to the UniBody to lift car to rotate tire & etc..., where is drain & fill plug for manual transmission oil, type of motor oil and "what if" during the travel incident then what is the temporary alternative, what is torque & preparation such as for wheel lug nuts, technology restriction do & don't, and many more need to know for the new car of the 21 century. Some of the instruction are instructed with no dimensions such as head light alignment. This book is seem like "thumb rule" through experience with not much of engineering fact translation so we can do the work properly. Sumarize of the book: Just a blah blah blah mostly thumb rule book, waste of money.

Though not as thorough as the Haynes series of books; this offering from Chilton is still an excellent source of information for anybody maintaining their own vehicle.

This is a helpful book and a good addition to a persons car care information
