Maintenance and Service Guide

Owner maintenance checks

Following are vehicle maintenance checks and inspections that should be

performed by the owner or qualified service technician at the indicated

intervals. Service information and supporting specifications are provided

in the “Owner Guide”.

Any adverse conditions should be brought to the attention of your dealer

or qualified service technician for expert service advice as soon as

possible.

The owner maintenance checks are generally not covered by warranties

and you may be charged for labor, parts and lubricants used.

WHEN YOU STOP FOR FUEL:

❑ Check the engine oil level.

❑ Check the windshield washer fluid level.

❑ Look for low or under-inflated tires.

WHEN OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE:

❑ Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust

fumes in the vehicle.

❑ Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased

steering effort or looseness in the steering wheel, or change in its

straight ahead position.

❑ Notice if the vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side,

when travelling on smooth, level road.

❑ When stopping, listen and check for strange sounds, pulling to one

side, increased brake pedal travel or “hard to push” brake pedal.

❑ Check automatic transaxle park function.

❑ Check parking brake.

❑ Verify proper BRAKE and ABS bulb check response when starting

your vehicle.
