MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Maintenance Requ ireme nts
GENERAL INFORMATION
The safety, reliability and performance of
your car will depend partly on how well it is
maintained. Maintenance is the owner's
responsibility and you must ensure that the
appropriate maintenance is performed
when required and according to the
recommendations specified by Karma
Service Provider.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The scheduled maintenance requirements
for your Revero are shown in the Warranty
and Service Booklet supplied in the owner’s
literature pack.
Most of the necessary maintenance and
servicing of your Revero will require
specialist knowledge or equipment, and
should preferably be entrusted to a Karma
Service Provider.
FLUID REPLACEMENT
Brake fluid requires changing every 50,000
miles (80,000 km) or 5 years, whichever
comes sooner.
Coolant must be changed every 150,000
miles (240,000 km) or 5 years, whichever
comes sooner.
Note: These fluids will be changed by a
Karma Service Provider at the service
nearest the conclusion of each period of
time.
VEHICLE SERVICE HISTORY
When you have your Revero serviced at a
Karma Service Provider, your service
information is recorded in the Karma
Global Service History database. It can be
accessed by any Karma Service Provider -
a great convenience if you relocate or need
to have your vehicle serviced while
traveling.
OWNER MAINTENANCE

drop in fluid levels, or indication of
