Maintenance requirements
(General precaution)
1. The scheduled maintenance service is
important to ensure trouble-free, safe
and economical driving. Failure to per-
form the scheduled maintenance may
cause an accident or serious damage.
2.
If you conduct the periodical mainte-
nance, Perodua car owners may reduce
the chance of accidents or car problems.
Furthermore, it becomes possible for you
to find at an earlier stage malfunctions
which may lead to serious damages.
Consequently, potential vehicle damage
can be prevented or the degree of the
damage can be minimized.
3. Therefore, all the Perodua car owner's
should be concerned to servicing the
Perodua vehicles with the periodical
maintenance service in order to be pro-
tected from the accidents or unexpected
problems.
To prevent malfunctions in advance, how-
4.
ever, conducting the periodical mainte-
nance service only is insufficient. It is
essential that owners themselves per-
form maintenance, such as the pre-start-
ing check described in the owner's
manual, so that the vehicles exhibits no
abnormal change or phenomenon.
12-1
Owners should get from service advisor
about the necessity of maintenance per-
formed by themselves.
However, malfunction may occur on those
5.
vehicles which are always checked by
their owners. For instance, if a
structed to be replaced periodically
should be used beyond the replacement
intervals and the life of the part has ex-
pired, there are cases where malfunction
occurs suddenly despite the fact that no
mulfunction had taken place until yester-
day. To prevent such malfunction in ad-
vance, be sure to replace parts recom-
mended to be replace periodically at the
specified replacement intervals.
6. This section describe those items of the
schedule maintenance service recom-
mended by the Perodua and their inter-
vals. Be sure to observe the maintenance
schedule.
7. We at Perodua offer you a new-vehicle
check when your new vehicle has been
operated 1,000 km (600 miles) since the
registration date. Note that, however, the
filters and the lubricants are at the owner's
expense. Please feel free to bring your new
vehicle to a Perodua Service Dealer for this
free but very important inspection service.
