The quality of maintenance your new
vehicle receives is as important as the
regularity with which it is serviced.
Authorized dealers provide nationwide
quality in customer service. The program
includes the training of dealer technicians
throughout the country and is supported
with a continuous follow-up of publications
and other service information. The use of
genuine parts and accessories, which have
the same high quality standards as original
equipment parts, and the use of factory
approved tools developed and tested for use
by the authorized dealer also contribute to
the high quality of service.
If you have any questions on how to keep
your truck or chassis in good condition, see
your authorized dealer, the place many
truck owners choose to have their
maintenance work done. Your authorized
dealer can be relied upon to use proper
parts and practices.
Some of these services can be complex, so
unless you are technically qualified and have
the necessary equipment, you should let
your authorized dealer's service department
or another qualified service center do
these jobs.
The schedule includes general maintenance
which you or a qualified technician should
perform periodically.

for frequent short trips, will require more
frequent vehicle maintenance.

performed, insert the month, day and
mileage/ kilometers in the area provided

initial 176 000 km (110,000 miles) at the
same intervals.
Preventive Maintenance
As any mechanical device operates, a certain
amount of wear occurs. The amount of wear
depends on certain variables
method of operation and the schedule of
maintenance. These variables may be
emphasized as critical to malfunction but
each is dependent upon the other. For
example, if a vehicle is repeatedly
overloaded, driven at excessive speed or
improperly shifted, no schedule of
