Footnotes
-f
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the
completion of the vehicle's useful life. We, however,
urge that all recommended maintenance services be
performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance
be recorded.
~ f e Monitor. Thi
.s
monitor will show you when to change the oil -- usually
between 3,000 miles ( 5 000 km) and 7,500 miles
(1 2 500 km) since your last oil change. Under severe
conditions, the indicator may come on before
3,000 miles ( 5 000 km). Never drive your vehicle more
than 7,500 miles (1 2 500 km) or 12 months, (whichever
occurs first), without an oil change.
The system won't detect dust in the oil. So if you
drive in a dusty area be sure to change your oil every
3,000 miles ( 5 000 km) or sooner if the CHANGE OIL
SOON light comes on. Remember to reset the Oil Life
Monitor when the oil has been changed. For more
information, see "CHANGE OIL SOON" light in
the Index.

A good time to check your brakes is during tire
