MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this manual must be done at the times or
mileages specified to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best vehicle perfor-
mance and reliability. More frequent maintenance may be needed for vehicles in severe
operating conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip driving. Inspection and
service should also be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10 000 km)
or six months, whichever comes first.
Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.
At Each Stop For Fuel
• Check the engine oil level about five minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of
the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.
Once A Month
• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign
of irregular wear, even if it occurs before your next scheduled service.
• Inspect the battery, and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering,
and transmission, and add as needed.
• Check all lights and all other electrical items for correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
• Change the engine oil filter.
• Inspect the exhaust system.
NOTE:
Also, inspect the exhaust system if you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust
system, or if the exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle.
• Inspect the brake hoses.
• Inspect the suspension components.
• Lubricate door hinges and check springs.
• Check the engine coolant level, hoses, and clamps.
• Check power steering fluid level.
