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.
A
CAUTION:
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.
