MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

Some day-to-day and regular maintenance is essen-
tial to maintain your vehicle's good mechanical con-
dition, as well as its emission and engine perfor-
mance.
It is the owner's responsibility to make sure that the
specified maintenance, as well as general mainte-
nance, is performed.
As the vehicle owner, you are the only one who can
ensure that your vehicle receives the proper mainte-
nance care.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

For your convenience, the required scheduled main-
tenance items are described and listed in a separate
Warranty Information and Maintenance booklet. You
must refer to that booklet to ensure that necessary
maintenance is performed on your vehicle at regular
intervals.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

General maintenance includes those items which
should be checked during normal day-to-day opera-
tion of the vehicle. They are essential if your vehicle
is to continue to operate properly. It is your respon-
sibility to perform these procedures regularly as pre-
scribed.
Performing general maintenance checks requires
minimal mechanical skill and only a few general au-
tomotive tools.
These checks or inspections can be done by your-
self, a qualified technician, or if you prefer, your
approved dealer or qualified workshop.

WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICE

If maintenance service is required or your vehicle
appears to malfunction, have the systems checked
and tuned by an authorised approved dealer or
qualified workshop.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
During normal day-to-day operation of the vehicle,
general maintenance should be performed regularly
as prescribed in this section. If you detect any un-
usual sounds, vibrations or smells, be sure to check
for the cause or have an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop do it promptly. In addition, you should
notify an approved dealer or qualified workshop if
you think that repairs are required.
When performing any checks or maintenance work,
closely observe "Maintenance precautions" later in
this section.
