SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
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 in
dicator message will illuminate.
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 “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).
Yo
ur authorized dealer will reset the oil
change in
dicator 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 “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel”.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals
exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
twelve mo
nths or 350 hours of engine run time,
whichever comes first. The 350 hours of engine
run or idle time is generally only a concern for
fleet customers.
Severe Duty All Models
NOTE:
Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles (6,500 km)
o
r 350 ho
urs of engine run time if the vehicle
is operated in a dusty and off road environment
or is operated predominantly at idle, or only
very low engine RPM’s. This type of vehicle use
is considered Severe Duty.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
Check engine oil level.
Check windshield washer fluid level.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs
before the oil indicator system turns on.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reser-
voir, brake master cylinder, and fill as
needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior
lights.
