The following descriptions are provided to give you a better understanding of the
maintenance items that should be performed on your vehicle. The scheduled maintenance
log indicates at which mileage/time intervals each item should be performed. Please note

 Vehicle Maintenance and Care and Do-It-Yourself Maintenance sections of the
Owner’s Manual.

Check the suspension and steering linkage ball joints for looseness and damage. Check all dust
covers for deterioration and damage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts. A qualified
technician should perform these operations.

Visually inspect for proper installation. Check for chafing, cracks, deterioration and signs of
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts. A qualified technician should perform these
operations.
BRAKE LININGS/DRUMS AND BRAKE PADS/DISCS
Check the brake linings (shoes) and drums for scoring, burning, fluid leakage, broken parts and
excessive wear. Check the pads for excessive wear and the discs for runout, excessive wear and
fluid leakage. Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts. A qualified technician should perform
these operations.
CABIN AIR FILTER
Replace at specified intervals. Driving in heavy traffic, on dirt roads or in urban, desert or dusty
areas may shorten filter’s life. More frequent replacement may be necessary.
