U.S. models
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices and sys\
tems may
be done by any automotive repair establishment or individuals using part\
s that are
certified to EPA standards.
According to state and federal regulations, failure to perform maintenan\
ce on the
maintenance main items marked with # will not void your emissions warranties.
However

, all maintenance services should be performed in accordance with the
intervals indicated by the multi-information display. n
Maintenance Minder Service Codes
These codes indicate what services are due on your vehicle.
*1: If the message Maintenance Due Now does not appear more than 12 months after the display
is reset, change the engine oil every year.
#: See information on maintenance and emissions warranty.
*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every \
15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of s\
oot in the air from industry and diesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
