first. If driving in dusty conditions, inspect
the filter at each oil change or more often
as needed. See Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

life percentage. If the percentage is less
than 10%, replace the fluid and filter. The
initial transmission canister filter change

and every 36 000 km (22,500 mi) thereafter.
This service can be complex. See your

Additional Maintenance
and Care
Your vehicle is an important investment and
caring for it properly may help to avoid
future costly repairs. To maintain vehicle
performance, additional maintenance
services may be required.
It is recommended that your dealer perform
these services —their trained dealer
technicians know your vehicle best. Your
dealer can also perform a thorough
assessment with a multi-point inspection to
recommend when your vehicle may need
attention.
The following list is intended to explain the
services and conditions to look for that may
indicate services are required.

brake lamps are important to see and be
seen on the road.

Shocks and struts help aid in control for a
smoother ride.
.Signs of wear may include steering wheel
vibration, bounce/sway while braking,

trained dealer technicians can visually
inspect the shocks and struts for signs of
leaking, blown seals, or damage, and can
