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 keep your vehicle in good working condition.
But we do not know exactly how you will drive it. You
might drive 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 you might drive it to work,
to do errands, or in many other ways.
Because of 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 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 D. 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.
These schedules are for vehicles that:
•
carry passengers and cargo within recommended
limits. You will find these on the Tire and Loading
Information label. See Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-19.
•
are driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal
driving limits.
•
use the recommended fuel. See Gasoline Octane
on page 5-5.
