Because of all the different ways people use their
vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You might
need more frequent checks and replacements.
So please read the following and note how
you drive. If you have any questions on how
to keep your vehicle in good condition, see
your dealer/retailer.
This schedule is for vehicles that:
• carry passengers and cargo within
recommended limits. You will find these limits
on the Tire and Loading Information label.
See Loading Your Vehicle on page 353.
• are driven on reasonable road surfaces within
legal driving limits.
• use the recommended fuel. See Gasoline
Octane on page 379.
The services in Scheduled Maintenance on page 488
should be performed when indicated. See
Additional Required Services on page 491 and
Maintenance Footnotes on page 492 for further
information.
{CAUTION:
Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. In trying to do
some jobs, you can be seriously injured.
Do your own maintenance work only if
you have the required know-how and the
proper tools and equipment for the job.
If you have any doubt, see your
dealer/retailer to have a qualified
technician do the work. See Doing
Your Own Service Work on page 378.
Some maintenance services can be complex.
So, unless you are technically qualified and
have the necessary equipment, you should
have your dealer/retailer do these jobs.
When you go to your dealer/retailer for your
service needs, you will know that trained and
supported service technicians will perform the
work using genuine parts.
