Routine maintenance and servicing

Routine maintenance and servicing

The maintenance intervals in this manual are provided with the assumption that you, not the dealer, will be carrying out the work.

These are the minimum maintenance intervals recommended by us for vehicles driven daily.

If you wish to keep your vehicle in peak condition at all times, you may wish to perform some of these procedures more often. We encourage frequent maintenance, because it enhances the efficiency, performance and resale value of your vehicle.

When the vehicle is new, it should be serviced by a factory-authorised dealer service department, in order to preserve the factory warranty.
