FSS SYSTEM
The Flexible Service System (FSS) permits a flexible service
schedule that is directly related to the operating conditions
of the vehicle. See the Understanding Your Instrument
Panel section for details on how to use the FSS.
The oil change interval for your Crossfire is initially set at
7,000 miles (Canada: 11,000 km). Very light duty driving
cycles (most trips more than 10 miles [16 km] at moderate
speeds in moderate temperature conditions) can extend
the service interval beyond 7,000 miles (Canada: 11,000
km). If ANY of the following apply to your driving, the
oil change interval can be reduced significantly:
−
Day or night temperatures are below 32°F (0°C).
−
Stop and go driving.
−
Extensive engine idling.
−
Driving in dusty conditions.
−
Short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km).
−
More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high
speeds during hot weather, above 90°F (32°C).
There are two symbols which will appear in the main
odometer display field prior to the next suggested service.
This symbol represents Service A.
This second symbol represents Service B. Ser-
vice B rotates with Service A and includes
additional service tasks.
