increased loads. Examples of arduous operating conditions:
R Regular city driving with frequent intermedi‐
ate stops
R Mainly short-dis tance driving
R Frequent operation 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
