Caution
WARNING
Damage is possible if the wrong maintenance schedules are used for reimported vehicles!
• These maintenance schedules are invalid for RoW (rest of world) vehicles and for vehicles reimported
from the USA
• Vehicles reimported from the USA must be maintained according to the maintenance schedules for
RoW vehicles
The maintenance schedules for the US market have been added to the Technical Manual for the sake of
completeness.
Note
On vehicles with annual mileages of less than 9,000 mls (15,000 km), an annual maintenance must be
•
carried out once a year.
• Regular servicing with oil filter change must be carried out at least every 2 years according to the
mileage, if the mileage for a major maintenance has not already been reached.
• For an annual mileage of more than 9,000 mls (15,000 km) we recommend carrying out the next
regular servicing straight away.
• The term 'checking' includes all necessary subsequent work such as adjusting, readjusting, correcting
and topping up, but does not include repairing, replacing and reconditioning parts or assemblies.
