The Scheduled Maintenance Services listed in theMaintenance
Schedule and Recordbooklet are required because they are
considered essential to the life and performance of your vehicle
and to its emissions system.

[SV44000(ALL)05/95]
Watch for fluid leaks, strange odors, smoke and loss of oil
pressure. Also watch for the charge warning light, the check
engine light, or the temperature warning light. These sometimes
indicate that the emission system is not working properly.

Do not make any unauthorized changes to your vehicle or
engine. Changes that cause more unburned fuel to reach the
exhaust system can increase the temperature of the engine or
exhaust system.

device is removed or is prevented from working.
