Special service requ irements
The prescribed service inter val is based on nor‐
mal operation of theve hicle. Service workwill need
tobe per form ed more of ten if theve hicle
is operated under arduous conditions or
increased loads, forex ample:
RRe gular city driving with frequent intermedi‐
ate stops.
RIf th eve hicle is primarily used totrave l short
dis tances.
RFo r frequent operation in mountainous ter‐
ra in or on poor road sur faces.
RIf th e engine is of ten le ftidling for long peri‐
ods.
RIn particula rly dusty condition sand/o rif air -
re circulation mode is frequently used.
In these or similar operating conditions, ha ve,fo r
ex ample, the interior air filter, engine air filter,
