additional items of maintenance depending upon
the local conditions such as weather and an
owner's driving habits. The Maintenance Schedule
on this page, when used in conjunction with the
outlined services on the reverse side of the Main-
tenance Service Coupon, provide Servicemen with
an excellent reference for seasonal maintenance
recommendations as well as regular inspections
and maintenance services.
