checking the transmission fluid if
you have been driving at high speed
for a long period of time, in city/
heavy traffic or while pulling a trailer.1. Start the engine, and drive the vehicle for approximately
10 minutes to warm up the
engine. During 10 minutes, the
automatic transmission fluid should reach a temperature of
approximately 70 - 80 °C
(158 - 176 °F). During the
winter when temperatures are
low, adjust the amount of
driving time according to the
actual conditions.

304 Service and Maintenance
necessary equipment, you should
let your authorized dealer's service
department or another qualified
service center do these jobs.
The schedule includes general
maintenance which you or a
qualified technician should perform
periodically.
Explanation of Vehicle
Maintenance and Log
The following is a brief explanation
of normal vehicle use.
NORMAL VEHICLE USE—The
maintenance instructions contained
in this section are based on the
assumption that your vehicle will be
used as designed:
.To carry passengers and cargo
with the limitations indicated on
the vehicle VIN and GVW plate.
. On reasonable road surfaces
within legal operating limits.
. On a daily basis, as a general
rule, for at least several miles/
kilometers. Unusual operating conditions, such
as driving in dusty areas (sweeper,
agricultural or off-road vehicles),
extended idling (refrigeration
vehicles), or vehicles operated for
frequent short trips, will require
more frequent vehicle maintenance.
The log groups items according to
mile/kilometer service intervals. Use
the item codes (letter and number)
to find the description of the
maintenance and the time intervals.
Follow whichever interval comes
first, time or miles/kilometers.
After the maintenance services are
performed, insert the month, day
and mileage/ kilometers in the area
provided next to the serviced item.
The services shown up to
176 000 km (110,000 miles) are to
be repeated after the initial
176 000 km (110,000 miles) at the
same intervals.
Severe Driving Conditions
A vehicle operated under severe
conditions (see list below) requires
more frequent maintenance.
.
Frequent short trips of less than
6 kilometers (4 miles) in
moderate temperatures
. Frequent short trips of less than
16 kilometers (10 miles) in sub-
freezing temperatures
. Frequent and extended low-
speed engine operation (door-
to- door deliveries, stop- and- go
traffic, etc.)
. Driving on unpaved roads with
heavy dust
. Towing a trailer
