(5,000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first.

Otherwise, follow the Normal Driving Scheduled Maintenance intervals.

1. The vehicle is idled for long periods or driven at low speeds, such as with police

cars, taxis, or driver's education school car.

2. Driving under dusty conditions.

3. Driving for long periods in cold temperatures or driving regularly for short distan-

ces only.

4. Driving under extremely high temperature conditions.

5. Driving continuously in mountainous regions.

If you are following the Severe Driving Scheduled Maintenance (8,000 km (5,000
