•All-wheel drive only: Transfer case fluid change
(severe service) for vehicles mainly driven when
frequently towing a trailer, or used for taxi, police, or

sure vent hose is unobstructed, clear, and free
of debris. During any maintenance, if a powerwasher is used to clean mud and dirt from the
underbody, care should be taken to not directly
spray the transfer case output seals. High pressure
water can overcome the seals and contaminate
the transfer case fluid. Contaminated fluid will
decrease the life of the transfer case and should be
replaced.
•Evaporative control system inspection. Check all
fuel and vapor lines and hoses for proper hook-up,
routing, and condition. Check that the purge
valve, if the vehicle has one, works properly.
Replace as needed.An Emission Control Service.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or
the California Air Resources Board has determined
that the failure to perform this maintenance item
will not nullify the emission warranty or limit
recall liability prior to the completion of the vehicle’s
useful life. We, however, urge that all recommended
maintenance services be performed at the
indicated intervals and the maintenance be
recorded.
