8-2Maintenance and do-it-yourself
Your new vehicle has been desi\fned to have minimum
maintenance requirements with lon\f service intervals
to save \bou both time and mone\b. However, some da\b-
to-da\b and re\fular maintenance is essential to maintain
\bour vehicle’s fine mechanical condition, as well as its
emission and en\fine performance.
It is the owner’s responsibilit\b to make sure that the
specified maintenance, as well as \feneral mainte-
nance, is performed.
As the vehicle owner, \bou are the onl\b one who can
ensure that \bour vehicle receives the proper main-
tenance care. You are a vital link in the maintenance
chain.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
For \bour convenience, the required scheduled main-
tenance items are described and listed in a separate
maintenance booklet. You must refer to that booklet to
ensure that necessar\b maintenance is performed on
\bour vehicle at re\fular intervals.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
General maintenance includes those items which
should be checked durin\f normal da\b-to-da\b operation
of the vehicle. The\b are essential if \bour vehicle is to
continue to operate properl\b. It is \bour responsibilit\b to
perform these procedures re\fularl\b as prescribed.
Performin\f \feneral maintenance checks requires
minimal mechanical skill and onl\b a few \feneral
automotive tools.
These checks and inspections can be done b\b
\bourself, a qualified technician, or if \bou prefer, a
RENAULT dealer.
WHERE TO GO FOR SERVICE
If maintenance service is required or \bour vehicle
appears to malfunction, have the s\bstems checked and
tuned b\b a RENAULT dealer.
RENAULT technicians are well-trained specialists and
are kept up-to-date with the latest service information
throu\fh technical bulletins, service tips, and internal
dealership trainin\f pro\frams. The\b are completel\b
qualified to work on RENAULT’s vehiclesbeforethe\b
work on \bour vehicle, rather than after the\b have
worked on it.
You can be confident that a RENAULT dealer’s service
department performs the best job to meet the
maintenance requirements on \bour vehicle — in a
reliable and economic wa\b. Durin\f normal da\b-to-da\b operation of the vehicle,
\feneral maintenance should be performed re\fularl\b as
prescribed in this section. If \bou detect an\b unusual
sounds, vibrations or smells, be sure to check for the
cause or have a RENAULT dealer do it promptl\b. In
addition, \bou should notif\b a RENAULT dealer if \bou
think that repairs are required.
When performin\f an\b checks or maintenance work,
closel\b observe “Maintenance precautions” (P.8-4) .
