Maintenance survey
All jobs mentioned in the preceding chapters
for the proper maintenance and servicing of
your vehicle are arranged in the following
maintenance schemes to service groups
which should be achieved at certain intervals
and beyond that are indicated in the
lubrication chart. The first maintenance job,
that is to change break-in oil of engine,
should already be carried out after the
first 500km (300miles). The most frequent
periodical jobs form the Service A to be
performed every 1500km (1000 miles). The
more complicated jobs to be done at longer
intervals form the Service B and finally the
Service C. When carrying out this servicing
the experienced mechanic in the service shop
can check the entire chassis, brake and
steering assemblies as well as all stationary
and movable parts. Besides these periodical
services the vehicle will receive some
inspections the details of which are
determined by the local dealer on delivery of
the car. Moreover it is recommended that the
bottom side of the chassis, after being
washed, be given a coating of spray oil,
particularly at the beginning of winter. For the
details concerning the services A, B and C
see the following indications and
lubrication chart.
