required for the Maintenance System, or
changing of oil and oil filter at change
intervals longer than those called for by
the Maintenance System will result in
engine or emission control system

recommendations for scheduled oil
changes. Failure to do so will result in
engine or emission control system
damage not covered by the smart Limited
Warranty.
