Part A: Scheduled Maintenance
Services
In this part are scheduled maintenance services which
are to be performed at the mileage intervals specified.

Using the Maintenance Schedule

We want to help keep your vehicle in good working
condition. But we do not know exactly how you will drive
it. You might drive very short distances only a few times
a week. Or you might drive long distances all the
time in very hot, dusty weather. You might use your
vehicle in making deliveries or in many other ways.
Because of all the different ways people use their
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You might need
more frequent checks and replacements. So please read
the following and note how you drive. If you have any
questions on how to keep your vehicle in good condition,
see your dealer/retailer.
This part tells you the maintenance services you should
have done and when to schedule them.
When you go to your dealer/retailer for your service
needs, you will know that trained and supported service
people will perform the work using genuine parts.

The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in
Part C. Make sure whoever services your vehicle uses
these. All parts should be replaced and all necessary
repairs done before you or anyone else drives the
vehicle.
This schedule is for vehicles that:
•
carry passengers and cargo within recommended
limits. You will find limits on your vehicle's
Certification or Tire Information label. See Loading
Your Vehicle on page 4-21.
•
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal
driving limits.
•
use the recommended fuel. See Gasoline Octane
on page 5-7 for gasoline engine vehicles or What
Fuel to Use on page 5-9 for diesel engine vehicles.
