Maintenance Schedule
The Maintenance Schedule specifies
how often you should have your car
serviced and what things need
attention. It is essential that you have
your car serviced as scheduled to
retain its high level of safety,
dependability, and emission control
performance.
The services and time or distance
intervals shown in the maintenance
schedule assume you will use your
car as normal transportation. You
should:
Avoid exceeding your car's load
limit. This puts excess stress on
the engine, brakes, and many
other parts of your car. The load
limit is shown on the label on the
driver's doorjamb.
Operate your car on reasonable
roads within the legal speed limit.
Drive your car regularly over a
distance of several kilometers
(miles).
Always use unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane (see page
108
).
Which Schedule to Follow:
Service your car according to the
time and mileage periods on one of
the Maintenance Schedules on pages
140
and
141
. Select the schedule for
"Severe Conditions" if most of your
driving is done under one or more of
the conditions listed on that page.
Otherwise, follow the schedule for
"Normal Conditions."
