EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in bold type
must be done at the times or mileages specified to ensure
the continued proper functioning of the emissions control
system. These and all other maintenance services in-
cluded in this manual, should be done to provide 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.

NOTE:

Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emis-

sions control devices and systems on your vehicle may be
performed by any automotive repair establishment or
individual using any automotive part that has been
certified pursuant to U.S. EPA or in the State of Califor-
nia, California Air Resources Board regulations.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

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

On Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
equipped vehicles “Oil Change Required” will be dis-
played in the EVIC and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.

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 vehicle’s
oil if it has been 6 months since your last oil change
even if the oil change indicator message is NOT
illuminated.

• 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 6,000 miles (10,000 km) or 6 months, whichever
comes first.

Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator
message after completing the scheduled oil change. If this
scheduled oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer the message can be reset by
referring to the steps described under ”Electronic Vehicle
Information Center” in Section 4 of this manual.

At Each Stop for Fuel

• Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after a fully

warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while
the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accu-
racy 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 coolant reservoir, brake

master cylinder, power steering and transmission 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.
