Maintenance requirements
(General precaution)
1. The scheduled maintenance service is
important to ensure trouble-free, safe and
economical driving. Failure to perform the
scheduled maintenance may cause an
accident or serious damage.
2. If periodical maintenance is conducted,
Perodua car owners may reduce the
chance of accidents or car problems.
Furthermore, it becomes possible to
detect malfunction at an earlier stage
which may lead to serious damages.
Consequently, potential vehicle damage
can be prevented or the degree of the
damage can be minimized.
3. Therefore, all Perodua car owners should
be concerned to service their Perodua
vehicles according to the periodical
maintenance service in order to be
protected from accidents or unexpected
problems.
4. To prevent malfunctions in advance,
however, conducting the periodical
maintenance service only is insufficient.
It is essential that owners themselves
perform maintenance, such as the
pre-starting check described in the
owner’s manual, so that the vehicle exhibits
no abnormal change or phenomenon.
Owners should obtain information from
service advisor about the necessity of
maintenance performed by themselves.
5. However, malfunction may occur on those
vehicles which are always checked by
their owners. For instance, if a part which
is instructed to be replaced periodically
is used beyond its replacement interval
and if the part is expired, there are cases
where malfunction occurs suddenly
despite the fact that no malfunction had
taken place previously. To prevent such
malfunction in advance, be sure to replace
the parts recommended periodically at
the specified replacement intervals.
6. This section describe those items in
the schedule maintenance service
recommended by Perodua and their
intervals. Be sure to observe the
maintenance schedule.
7. We at Perodua offer you a new vehicle
check when your new vehicle has
been operated for 1,000 km since the
registration date. Note that, however, the
filters and the lubricants are at the owner’s
expense. Feel free to bring your new
vehicle to an authorised Perodua Service
Centre for this free but very important
inspection service.
