Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices and systems
may be done by any automotive repair establishment or individuals using
parts that are certified to EPA standards.
According to state and federal regulations, failure to perform maintenance on the
maintenance main items marked with # will not void your emissions warranties.
However, all maintenance services should be performed in accordance with the
intervals indicated by the multi-information display.

Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher
transmission temperature. This requires transmission fluid changes more frequently than
recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these
conditions, have the transmission fluid changed at 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C), in very low temperatures
(under -20°F, -29°C), replace every 60,000 miles/100,000 km.
Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher level
of mechanical (Shear) stress to fluid. This requires differential fluid changes more frequently
than recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these
conditions, have the differential fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000
miles (24,000 km).
