Maintenance Schedules - NAFTA

Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in the instrument cluster. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will influence when the "Change Oil" or "Oil Change Required" message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as 3, 500 miles (5, 600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km). Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the scheduled oil change. If a 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 (EVIC)/Driver Information Display (DID)" in "Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel" for further information.

Severe Duty All Models

• Change Engine Oil at 4, 000 miles (6, 500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off road environment or is operated predominately at idle or only very low engine RPM's. This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
  NOTE:

  The Oil Change Indicator will not illuminate under these conditions.

Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:

• Check engine oil level.
• Check windshield washer fluid level.
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, and brake master cylinder reservoir, and fill as needed.
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights.

At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:

• Change oil and filter.
• Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
• Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, and hoses.
• Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
• Rotate the tires,

  Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on. 

• Inspect exhaust system.
• Inspect engine air filter if using in dusty or off-road conditions.

Oil Change Indicator - Reset

• To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure.
  • Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).
  • Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
  • Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.
    NOTE:

    If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure. If the above process fails to complete, use the scan tool to complete the reset process.

• Mandatory service

(#) The engine air cleaner should be inspected at every oil change if used in dusty areas.

(*) The oil and oil filter replacement must be carried out when indicated by a warning light or message on the instrument panel, or in any case should not exceed 1 year or 10, 000 miles (16, 000 km).

(**) The spark plug change is distance based only, yearly intervals do not apply. The following are essential to ensure correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine:

• Only use spark plugs of the same make and type which are specially certified for such engines (refer to "Engine Information" in "Technical Data" for further information).
• Strictly comply with the spark plug replacement interval given in the "Maintenance Schedule" for spark plug replacement.
• Contact your authorized dealer if you have any questions.

(***) The brake fluid change interval is time based only, mileage intervals do not apply.

(1) Always only use the liquids shown in the service information for topping up after having checked that the system is not damage.

(2) If the engine oil quality detected by the vehicle diagnostics is lower than 20%, it is advisable to replace the engine oil and engine filter in order to avoid another service operation after a short time.

(3) The maximum mileage is 75000 miles (120, 000 km). The belt must be replaced every 6 years, regardless of distance travelled. If the vehicle is used in heavy conditions (dusty areas, cold climates, urban driving, long periods of idling), the maximum mileage is 37, 500 miles (60, 000 km). The belt must be replaced every 4 years regardless of the mileage.
