MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log
Cabin Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. More
frequent replacement may be required
when driving in dusty conditions,
heavy traffic areas, urban areas, desert
areas or dirt roads. Refer to your
Owner’s Manual for service details.
Differential Oil
Inspect each differential component for
signs of leakage. If you discover any
leakage, have it repaired immediately
by a qualified technician. Refer to your
Owner’s Manual for fluid specifications.
Drive Belt
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear
and oiliness. Check the belt tension
and adjust if necessary. Replace the
