There are two symbols which will appear in the main
odometer display field prior to the next suggested ser-
vice.
This symbol represents Service A.
This second symbol represents Service B. Ser-
vice B rotates with Service A and includes
additional service tasks.
The next service is normally calculated and
displayed next to the Service A or Service B
symbol as distance remaining before the next
service is required.
Depending on operating conditions through-
out the year, a clock symbol may appear next to
the service symbol. When this occurs, the next
service is calculated and displayed in days
remaining before the next service is required.You should have the maintenance performed within the
stated time period or distance.
Following a completed A or B service your authorized
dealer sets the counter to 7,000 miles (Canada: 11,000
km).
NOTE:When disconnecting vehicle battery for one or
more days at a time, such days will not be counted. Any
such days not counted by FSS can be added by your
authorized dealer.
The interval between services is determined by the type
of vehicle operation. Driving at extreme speeds, and cold
starts combined with short distance driving in which the
engine does not reach normal operating temperature,
reduce the interval between services.
Regardless of the service interval determined by your
FSS, the scheduled services as posted in this manual must
be followed to properly care for your vehicle.
