MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in this
manual must be done at the times or mileages specified
to protect your vehicle warranty and ensure the best
vehicle performance and reliability. More frequent main-
tenance may be needed for vehicles in severe operating
conditions, such as dusty areas and very short trip
driving. Inspection and service should also be done
anytime a malfunction is suspected.

The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.

Based on engine operation conditions the oil change
indicator message will illuminate, this means that service
is required for your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced
as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

NOTE:

• The oil change indicator message will not monitor the

time since the last oil change. Change your vehicles oil
if it has been 6 months since your last oil change even
if the oil change indicator message is NOT illumi-
nated.

• Change your engine oil more often if you drive your

vehicle off-road for an extended period of time.

• Under no circumstances should oil change intervals

exceed 8,000 miles (13,000 km) or 6 months, whichever
comes first.

Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator
message after completing the scheduled oil change. If a
scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than
your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by refer-
ring to the steps described under “Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC)/Change Engine Oil” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

At Each Stop For Fuel

• Check the engine oil level about five minutes after a

fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level
while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the
accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when
the level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.

• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if

required.

Once A Month

• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or

damage.

• Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the terminals

as required.

• Check the fluid levels of the engine coolant reservoir

and brake master cylinder, and add as needed.

• Check all lights and other electrical items for correct

operation.

At Each Oil Change

• Change the engine oil filter.
• Inspect the brake hoses and lines.

CAUTION!

Failure to perform the required maintenance items
may result in damage to the vehicle.
