? The U.S. E~wironrnentd Protection Agency the
Cainiifomire Air R!csources Board has determined that the
failure
to pertc)rm this maintenance item will not nullify
the
emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the

(5 GOO km> and 7,500 miles (X2 500 krn) since your last
oil change. Under severe conditions. the indicator may
come on before 3,008 miles (5 8064 km). Never drive
your vehicle more than 7,500 miles ( 12 500 km) or
