MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Owner Checks and Services

At Each Fuel Stop
Check the engine oil level.

Once a Month
Check the tire inflation pressures.
Inspect the tires for wear.
Check the windshield washer fluid level.

Engine Oil Change
When the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message displays, have the engine oil and filter changed within the next 1000 km/600mi. If driven under the best conditions, the engine oil life system might not indicate the need for vehicle service for more than a year. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once a year and the oil life system must be reset. If the engine oil life system is reset accidentally, service the vehicle within 5000km/3,000mi since the last service. Reset the oil life system when the oil is changed. Refer to Service Reminder Indicators.

Tire Rotation and Required Services Every 12 000 km/7,500 mi
Rotate the tires, if recommended for the vehicle, and perform the following services.

Check engine oil level and oil life percentage. If needed, change engine oil and filter, and reset oil life system.

Check engine coolant level.

Check windshield washer fluid level.

Visually inspect windshield wiper blades for wear, cracking, or contamination. Replace worn or damaged wiper blades.

Check tire inflation pressures.

Inspect tire wear.

Visually check for fluid leaks.

Inspect engine air cleaner filter. Inspect or replace the air cleaner/filter at the scheduled maintenance intervals. If driving in dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the filter at each engine oil change.

Inspect brake system.

Visually inspect steering, suspension, and chassis components for damaged, loose, or missing parts or signs of wear. Visually inspect front and rear suspension and steering system for damaged, loose, or missing parts or signs of wear. Inspect the power steering for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Visually check constant velocity joints, rubber boots, and axle seals for leaks.

Check restraint system components. Now and then, check that the safety belt reminder light, safety belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and anchorages are all working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged safety belt system parts that might keep a safety belt system from doing its job. Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, get a new one right away. Make sure the safety belt reminder light is working. Keep safety belts clean and dry.

Visually inspect fuel system for damage or leaks.

Visually inspect exhaust system and nearby heat shields for loose or damaged parts.

Lubricate body components. Lubricate all key lock cylinders, hood hinges, liftgate hinges, and steel fuel door hinge unless the components are plastic. Applying silicone grease on weatherstrips with a clean cloth will make them last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.

Check starter switch. Starter Switch Check

Check automatic transmission shift lock control function. Automatic Transmission Shift Lock Control Function Check

Check ignition transmission lock. Ignition Transmission Lock Check

Check parking brake and automatic transmission park mechanism. Park Brake and P (Park) Mechanism Check

SPECIAL APPLICATION SERVICES
Severe Commercial Use Vehicles Only:
Lubricate chassis components every 5 000 km/3,000 mi.

(b) Or every four years, whichever comes first.
(c) Do not directly power wash the transfer case output seals. High pressure water can overcome the seals and contaminate the transfer case fluid. Contaminated fluid will decrease the life of the transfer case and should be replaced.
(d) Or every five years, whichever comes first.
