Examples of arduous operating conditions:
R regular city driving with frequent intermediate
st ops R
mainly short-dis tance driving
R frequent ope ration in mountainous terrain or
on poor road sur faces
R when the engine is of ten le ftidling for long
periods
R operation in particula rly dusty conditions
and/or if air-reci rculation mode is frequently
used
In these or similar operating conditions, ha vethe
interior air filter, engine air cleaner, engine oil and
