Scheduled maintenance service precaution

Follow the Normal Maintenance Schedule if the vehicle is usually operated where none of the following conditions apply. If any of the following conditions apply, follow the Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions.

  • Repeated driving short distance of less than 8 km (5 miles) in normal temperature or less than 16km (10 miles) in freezing temperature

  • Extensive engine idling or low speed driving for long distances

  • Driving on rough, dusty, muddy, unpaved, graveled or salt-spread Roads

  • Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials or in very cold weather

  • Driving in heavy dust condition

  • Driving in heavy traffic area

  • Driving on uphill, downhill, or mountain road repeatedly

  • Using for towing or camping, and driving with loading on the roof

  • Driving as a patrol car, taxi, other commercial use of vehicle towing

  • Frequently driving in stop-and-go condition

  • Engine oil usage which is not rec-ommended (Mineral type, Semi-synthetic, Lower grade spec, etc.)

If your vehicle is operated in any of the prior listed conditions, you should inspect, replace or refill more frequently, using the severe usage maintenance schedule instead of the normal usage maintenance schedule.

Normal Maintenance Schedule - For Europe (Except Russia)

The following maintenance services must be performed to ensure good emission control and performance. Keep receipts for all vehicle emission services to protect your warranty. Where both mileage and time are shown, the frequency of service is determined by whichever occurs first.

NO.

ITEM

* 1

Engine oil and

engine oil filter

As it is normal for engine oil to be consumed during driving the engine oil level should be checked on regular basis.

The engine oil change interval for normal operation conditions is based on the use of the recommended engine specification. If the recommended engine oil specification is not used, then replace the engine oil according to the maintenance schedule under severe operating conditions.

* 2

Coolant (Engine)

When adding coolant, use only deionized water or soft water for your vehicle and never mix hard water in the coolant filled at the factory. An improper coolant mixture can result in serious malfunction or engine damage.

* 3

Drive belts (Engine)

  • Adjust alternator, water pump and air conditioner drive belt. Inspect and if necessary repair or replace.

  • Inspect drive belt tensioner, idler and alternator pulley and if necessary correct or replace.
