The Chapter contains a master maintenance schedule, followed by Sections dealing specifically with each task in the schedule. Visual checks, adjustments, component renewal and other helpful items are included. Refer to the accompanying illustrations of the engine compartment and the underside of the vehicle for the locations of the various components.
Servicing your vehicle in accordance with the mileage/time maintenance schedule and the following Sections will provide a planned maintenance programm, which should result in a long and reliable service life. This is a comprehensive plan, so maintaining some items but not others at the specified service intervals, will not produce the same results.
As you service your vehicle, you will discover that many of the procedures can -and should - be grouped together, because of the particular procedure being performed, or because of the proximity of two otherwise-unrelated components to one another. For example, if the vehicle is raised for any reason, the exhaust can be inspected at the same time as the suspension and steering components.
The first step in this maintenance programm is to prepare yourself before the actual work begins. Read through all the Sections relevant to the work to be carried out, then make a list and gather all the parts and tools required. If a problem is encountered, seek advice from a parts specialist, or a dealer service department.
Service interval display
Later models are equipped with a service interval display indicator in the instrument panel. When the ignition is initially switched on, a spanner appears in the display window and the total number of miles remaining until the next service is due is also shown.
The display should be reset whenever a service is carried out, and this is achieved using the trip meter reset button on the instrument panel as follows.
With the ignition switched off, press and hold down the trip meter reset button. Switch the ignition on and the mileage remaining until the next service will flash. Continue to hold the button down for a further ten seconds. The spanner symbol will disappear and the mileage will return to zero.
