I: Inspection
(R) or (I): Recommended service for safe vehicle operation.
NOTE:(1) This inspection is not required to maintain emission warranty eligibility and it dose not affect the manufacturer's obligations under
EPA's in-use compliance program.
(2) When the vehicle is used in extremely dusty conditions, the air cleaner element should be replaced more often.
(3) ATF filter is maintenance free part. ATF filter needs replacement, when it has physically rust, damaged or ATF leaked.
(4) A tire should be replaced when the tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread. The indicators appear when
the remaining tread has been worn to 1.8 mm (0.071 in) or less.
(5) When the A/C filter is mounted
