How
This
Section
is
Organized
The remainder of this section is divided into
five
parts:
“Part
A:
Scheduled Maintenance Services”
shows
what to have done and how often. Some of these
services can be complex,
so
unless
you
are technically
qualified and have the necessary equipment, you should
let your dealer’s service department or another qualified
service center do these jobs.
Performing maintenance work on
a
vehicle can
be dangerous. In trying
to
do some jobs, you can
be seriously injured.
Do
your own maintenance
work only if you have the required know-how
and the proper tools and equipment for the job.
If
you have any doubt, have a qualified
technician do the work.
If you are skilled enough
to
do some
work
on
your
vehicle, you will probably want to get the service
information. See “Service and Owner Publications’’
in
the Index.
“Part
B:
Owner Checks and Services”
tells you
what should be checked and when. It also explains
what you can easily do
to
help keep your vehicle
in
good condition.
“Part
C:
Periodic Maintenance Inspections,,
explains
important inspections that your dealer’s service
department or another qualified service center
should perform.
“Part
D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants”
lists
some recommended products to help keep your vehicle
properly maintained. These products, or their
equivalents, should be used whether
you
do the work
yourself or have
it
done.
“Part
E:
Maintenance Record”
provides a place for
you
to record the maintenance performed
on
your
vehicle. Whenever any maintenance
is
performed, be
sure to write it down
in
this part. This will help you
determine when your next maintenance should be done.
In addition, it is a good idea to keep your maintenance
receipts. They may be needed to qualify your vehicle for
warranty repairs.
