VEHICLE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GASOLINE
The engine requires
REGULAR UNLEADED GAS
(Octane 87). Please use big-brand
stations for refuelling, such as Esso, Shell, Chevron, Husky, Petro Canada, Irving, etc. The
fuel available at independent stations is often of a lower quality which can cause
problems by clogging fuel pumps, etc., resulting in trip disruption and expensive repairs.
ENGINE OIL
The engine oil level must be checked every 1500 kms. The engine should be cold when its oil level is checked.
ONLY SAE 5W30 OIL
can be used for topping up. Please keep receipts for oil that is purchased for
reimbursement upon return of the vehicle. Thank you for your care and attention.
CAUTION:
The renter is liable for ALL damage resulting from use of improper fuel, oil, or other engine fluids.
If you have any questions, doubts or concerns, please call our OnRoad-Service.
OIL CHANGE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES
We change the oil of our vehicles every 12,000 kms according to the manufacturer’s recommendation. The oil
change light may illuminate earlier as it is programmed to a different schedule. The odometer reading of the
last
oil change is
indicated on a sticker on the windshield. If the window sticker indicates that an oil change is
due, please call our OnRoad-Service for direction to an authorized auto repair shop. Please keep receipts for all
oil purchases and present them for reimbursement upon return of the vehicle.
TIRES
TIRE CHECK
Please check the tire pressures regularly. The tires should be cold when the pressure is checked!
Recommended tire pressure (cold):
55 PSI (front)
–
80 PSI (rear)*
*The recommended tire pressure is also indicated on the tires and/or on a sticker inside the driver-side door
frame. The wheel nuts should be visually checked every time you leave a campground.
CHANGING THE TIRES

24-Hour Service. Please contact our OnRoad-Service whenever a tire change is required. These numbers are
