Two different maintenance schedules are provided, and should be used, depending upon the conditions in
which the vehicle is mainly operated.After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, continue the periodic
maintenance at the same mileage/time intervals.
Schedule 1Follow Periodic Maintenance Schedule 1 if your driving habits frequently
includes one or more of the following driving conditions:
IRepeated short trips of less than 5 miles (8 km).
IRepeated short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km) with outside tempera-
tures remaining below freezing.
IOperating in hot weather in stop-and-go ªrush hourº traffic.
IExtensive idling and/or low speed driving for long distances, such as police,
taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
IDriving in dusty conditions.
IDriving on rough, muddy, or salt spread roads.
ITowing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier.Emission Control Sys-
