MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

CAUTION: Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

At Each Stop for Fuel

- Check the engine oil level about 5 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 tire inflation pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.

- Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminal as required.

- Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering and transmission and add as needed.

- Check all lights and other electrical items for correct operation.

At Each Oil Change

- Change engine oil and filter.

- Inspect the exhaust system.

NOTE: Also inspect the exhaust system if you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system, or if the exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle.

- Inspect the brake hoses.

- Inspect the suspension components.

- Lubricate door hinges and check springs.

- Check the engine coolant level, hoses, and clamps.

- Check power steering fluid level.
