Maintenance Schedule
Preventive maintenance program begins
with the daily checks. Routine vehicle
checks can help avoid many large,
expensive, and time consuming repairs.
The vehicle will operate better, be safer,
and last longer. Neglect of recommended
maintenance can void your vehicle’s
warranty. Some maintenance operations
demand skills and equipment you may not
have. For such situations, please take your
vehicle to an authorized Service Center.

gine compartment, stop the engine and let it
cool down. Hot components can burn skin
on contact. Failure to comply may result in
death, personal injury, equipment or proper-
ty damage.

be alert and cautious around the engine at
all times. Failure to comply may result in
