NORMAL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
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 deter-
mined by whichever occurs first.
*
1
: Check the engine oil level and leak every 500 km (350 miles) or before starting a long trip.
*

age the engine, and such damage is not covered by warranty.
