The maintenance intervals in this manual
are provided with the assumption that you will
be carrying out the work yourself. These are
the minimum maintenance intervals
recommended by the manufacturer for
vehicles driven daily. If you wish to keep your
vehicle in peak condition at all times, you maywish to perform some of these procedures
more often. We encourage frequent
maintenance, because it enhances the
efficiency, performance and resale value of
your vehicle.
If the vehicle is driven in dusty areas, used
to tow a trailer, or driven frequently at slowspeeds (idling in traffic) or on short journeys,
more frequent maintenance intervals are
recommended.
When the vehicle is new, it should be
serviced by a factory-authorised dealer
service department, in order to preserve the
factory warranty.
