road salt.
♦ Driven for short distances and at ambient temperatures below
freezing point.

advise your customer whether it is necessary to have work
carried out between the normal service intervals, such as:
♦ Changing the engine oil before the normal specified interval.
♦ Cleaning or replacing the air filter element in the air filter hous‐
ing.
General information:
– Inform your customer about this so that he has each inspection
