necessary.
The oil change indicator message will illuminate approximately 11 200 km after
the most recent oil change was performed. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within 800 km.
At Each Stop for Fuel
Check the engine oil level about five minutes after a fully warmed engine is
shut off. Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on level ground will
improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is
at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.
Once a Month
Check the tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.
Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals as required.
Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and power
steering and add as needed.
Check all the lights and other electrical items for correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
Change the engine oil filter.
Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
NOTE:
The oil change indicator message will not monitor the
time since the last oil change. Change the vehicle's oil if
it has been 12 months since the last oil change, even if
the oil change indicator message is NOT illuminated.
NOTE:
Change your engine oil more often if you drive your
vehicle off road for an extended period of time.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals
exceed 12 000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first.
