Maintenance service
Every driver is given individual "TIME FOR SERVICE" information directly on the car's service indicator, SID. Servicing consists of measure that must be carried out to maintain the car's high standard of safety and prevent faults from arising. These service measure are also designed to ensure that the car will conform to exhaust emission control regulations, maintain a high standard of roadworthiness and be economical in use.
For optimum maintenance of the car, operating conditions should be taken into consideration when choosing an appropriate grade of oil for the engine.
More frequent oil changes may be necessary if the car is driven under one or several of the following conditions:
- frequent idling
- repeated starting and stopping, including frequent and predominant city driving
- short distances in cold climate without enough time for the engine to warm up
If the car is driven under the above specified conditions, we recommend oil change every 10 000 km.
Low mileage
The SID will display "Time For Service" after 12 months if the mileage for the service interval is not reached before this. In this case, use the annual service programs.
In all service work it is necessary to consult the service schedule to be sure of carrying out the right service measures for the odometer reading in question.
Then carry out the work described in the method description.
The inspection of certain points and the replacement of consumable items that are subject to legal requirements should be carried out at the specified mileage only, unless they are defective beforehand.
