Maintenance Procedures
The pages that follow contain the re-
quired maintenance services, deter-
mined by the engineers who designed
your vehicle. Along with the items
which require maintenance at periodic
intervals, there are items that should
operate satisfactorily without regular
maintenance. However, if a malfunc-
tion of any of these items should oc-
cur, it could adversely affect the en-
gine or vehicle performance. These
items should be inspected if a mal-
function occurs or is suspected.
NOTE:
•
Always wash vehicles in a proper lo-
cation, using caution not to destroy
the ecological drainage system.
•
Used engine oil, brake fluid, coolant,
batteries and tires should only be dis-
posed of by qualified waste disposal
personnel or consult the supply
manufacturer. Do not dispose of them
as household waste or drain any
chemicals into the public drainage
system.
Engine Oil Level Check
Engine oil consumption depends on
many factors. A new engine’s oil con-
sumption will reach a normal level af-
ter its first 5,000 km. The engine will
also consume more oil when it is oper-
ated while carrying or towing a heavy
load.
To assure proper engine lubrication,
the engine oil must be maintained at
the correct level. Check the oil level at
regular intervals, such as every fuel
stop.
The best time to check the oil level is
approximately five minutes after a
fully warmed engine is shut off. Check
the oil when the vehicle is on level
ground and only while the engine is
hot. This will improve the accuracy of
the oil level readings. Maintain the oil
level between the ⬙MIN⬙ and ⬙MAX⬙
range markings on the dipstick. Add
the correct engine oil when the read-
ing is at the low end of the range mark-
ing.
