Footnotes
† = The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the
completion of the vehicle’s useful life. We, however, urge
that all recommended maintenance services be
performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance
be recorded.
(1)= If your vehicle has an Allison Transmission
®, your
owner manual is supplemented by an Allison
Transmission
®Operator’s Manual. Always refer to these
manuals for related maintenance services.
(2)= An Emission Control Service.
(3)= A Noise Emission Control Device.(4)= Applies to vehicles sold in the United States and is
recommended for vehicles sold in Canada.
(5)= Check fluid level in brake master cylinder, power
steering pump, front and rear axles, transmission, and
hydraulic spring parking brake pump (if equipped). A low
fluid level in the brake master cylinder can indicate worn
brake linings and should be checked accordingly.
(6)= Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hook-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake
pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Inspect
caliper assemblies. Check brake pedal for excessive free
play or travel (or every 6 months, whichever occurs first)
and have serviced if needed. Check brakes more often if
driving habits and conditions result in frequent braking.
(7)= Check for filter ash, sensor adjustment, and sensor
hose restriction. Clean as needed. This service can be
complex; you should have your dealer/retailer perform
this service.
(8)= This vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System. This
system will show you when to change the engine oil
and filter — usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
7,500 miles (12 000 km) since your last oil change.
Under severe conditions, the indicator may come
on before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your
gasoline engine vehicle more than 7,500 miles
(12 000 km) or 12 months without an oil and filter
change.
