SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING 
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil 
change indicator system. The oil change indicator 
system will remind you that it is time to take your 
vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil 
change indicator message will illuminate. This 
means that service is required for your vehicle. 
Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, 
trailer tow, extremely hot or cold ambient 
temperatures will influence when the “Oil Change 
Required” message is displayed. Have your vehicle 
serviced as soon as possible, within the next 
500 miles (805 km).An authorized dealer will reset the oil change 
indicator message after completing the scheduled 
oil change. If a scheduled oil change is performed 
by someone other than an authorized dealer  
Ú
page 113.
NOTE:Under no circumstances should oil change 
intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km), 
12 months or 350 hours of engine run time, 
whichever comes first. The 350 hours of engine 
run or idle time is generally only a concern for fleet 
customers. Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
Check engine oil level.
Check windshield washer fluid level.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear 
or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign of irreg
-
ular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indi -
cator system turns on.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir 
and brake master cylinder, fill as needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior lights.

314SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE  
(Continued)
CHECKING OIL LEVEL
To ensure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil 
must be maintained at the correct level. Check the 
oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel 
stop. The best time to check the engine oil level is 
about five minutes after a fully warmed up engine 
is shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground 
will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
There are four possible dipstick types:
Crosshatched zone.
Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.
Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the low 
end of the range and MAX at the high end of the 
range.
Crosshatched zone marked with dimples at the 
MIN and the MAX ends of the range.
NOTE:Always maintain the oil level within the crosshatch 
markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1.0 liter) of oil when the reading is 
at the low end of the dipstick range will raise the oil 
level to the high end of the range marking.
ADDING WASHER FLUID 
Windshield Washer Fluid Cap
The fluid reservoir is located in the front of the 
engine compartment. Be sure to check the fluid 
level in the reservoir at regular intervals. Fill the 
reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not 
radiator antifreeze) and operate the system for a 
few seconds to flush out the residual washer fluid.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir, take 
some washer fluid, apply it to a cloth or towel, and 
wipe clean the wiper blades; this will help blade 
performance. To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer 
system in cold weather, select a solution or mixture 
that meets or exceeds the temperature range of 
your climate. This rating information can be found 
on most washer fluid containers.
MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERY 
Your vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free 
battery. You will never have to add water, and 
periodic maintenance is not required.
CAUTION!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will 
cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could 
damage your engine.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer 
solvents are flammable. They could ignite and 
burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or 
working around the washer solution.
WARNING!
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and 
can burn or even blind you. Do not allow 
battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or 
clothing. Do not lean over a battery when 
attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or 
on skin, flush the area immediately with large 
amounts of water  Ú

NOTE:Intentional tampering with emissions control 
systems can result in civil penalties being 
assessed against you.
In unusual situations involving grossly 
malfunctioning engine operation, a scorching odor 
may suggest severe and abnormal catalyst 
overheating. If this occurs, stop the vehicle, turn off 
the engine and allow it to cool. Service, including a 
tune-up to the manufacturer specifications, should 
be obtained immediately.
To minimize the possibility of catalytic converter 
damage:
Do not interrupt the ignition when the transmis -
sion is in gear and the vehicle is in motion.
Do not try to start the vehicle by pushing or 
towing the vehicle.
Do not idle the engine with any ignition compo -
nents disconnected or removed, such as when 
diagnostic testing, or for prolonged periods 
during very rough idle or malfunctioning oper -
ating conditions.
COOLING SYSTEM
Engine Coolant Checks
Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protection 
every 12 months (before the onset of freezing 
weather, where applicable). If the engine coolant is 
dirty, the system should be drained, flushed, and 
refilled with fresh Organic Additive Technology 
(OAT) coolant (conforming to MS.90032) by an  authorized dealer. Check the front of the A/C 
condenser for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, 
etc. If dirty, clean by gently spraying water from a 
garden hose vertically down the face of the 
condenser.
Check the engine cooling system hoses for brittle 
rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness of the 
connection at the coolant recovery bottle and 
radiator. Inspect the entire system for leaks. DO 
NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP 
WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush And Refill 
NOTE:Some vehicles require special tools to add coolant 
properly. Failure to fill these systems properly 
could lead to severe internal engine damage. If any 
coolant is needed to be added to the system 
please contact an authorized dealer.
If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or 
contains visible sediment, have an authorized 
dealer clean and flush with Organic Additive 
Technology (OAT) coolant (conforming to 
MS.90032).
For the proper maintenance intervals  
Úpage 310.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot 
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your 
radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from 
under the hood, do not open the hood until the 
radiator has had time to cool. Never open a 
cooling system pressure cap when the radi -
ator or coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry away 
from the radiator cooling fan when the hood is 
raised. The fan starts automatically and may 
start at any time, whether the engine is 
running or not.
When working near the radiator cooling fan, 
disconnect the fan motor lead or turn the igni -
tion to the OFF mode. The fan is temperature 
controlled and can start at any time the igni -
tion is in the ON mode.
