How This Section is Organized
This maintenance schedule is divided into five parts:
“Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services” explains
what to have done and how often. Some of these
services can be complex, so unless you are technically
qualified and have the necessary equipment, you should
let your dealer’s service department or another qualified
service center do these jobs.
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, have a qualified technician do 
the work.
If you want to get the service information, see “Service
and Owner Publications” in the Index.
“Part B: Owner Checks and Services” tells you 
what should be checked and when. It also explains 
what you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in
good condition.
“Part C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections” explains
important inspections that your dealer’s service
department or another qualified service center 
should perform.
“Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” lists
some recommended products necessary to help keep
your vehicle properly maintained. These products, or
their equivalents, should be used whether you do the
work yourself or have it done.
“Part E: Maintenance Record” is a place for you 
to record and keep track of the maintenance performed
on your vehicle. Keep your maintenance receipts. 
They may be needed to qualify your vehicle for
warranty repairs.
