Footnotes
The
U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the
completion of the vehicle’s useful life. We, however,
urge that all recommended maintenance services be
performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance
be recorded.
#
Lubricate the suspension and steering linkage,
transaxle shift linkage, parking brake cable guides and
underbody contact points.
*
If
your vehicle has an Engine Oil Life Monitor, the monitor
will show you when
to
change the oil
--
usually between
3,000
miles (5 000
km)
and 7,500 miles (12
500
km)
since
your last oil change. Under severe conditions, the indicator
may come on before
3,000
miles
(5
000
km).
Never drive
your vehicle more than 7,500 miles (1
2
500
km)
or
12 months, (whichever occurs first), without an oil change.
The system won’t detect dust in the oil.
So
if you drive in
a dusty area be sure to change your oil every
3,000
miles
(5
000
km)
or sooner if the
CHANGE
OIL
SOON light
comes on. Remember to reset the Oil Life Monitor when
the oil has been changed.
For
more information,
see
“CHANGE
OIL SOON Light” in the Index.

service, at every other tire rotation. See “Caliperffiuckle
Maintenance Inspection” under “Periodic Maintenance
Inspections” in

schedule.
