Information regarding the use of vehicles under
„severe conditions":
–
The service advisor should always point out to the
customer that the inspection intervals are based on
normal operating conditions.
–
Under „severe conditions" the inspection intervals
must be shortened.
„Severe conditions" exist, for instance, if the vehicle is op-
erated continuously in one or several of the conditions
stated below:
♦
Towing a trailer or when fitted with a roof rack.
♦
Operated on dusty, poor, muddy roads or roads treat-
ed with road salt.
♦
Driven for short distances and at ambient tempera-
tures below freezing point.
–
If one or several of these „severe conditions" exists,
please 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 fil-
ter housing.
