stops
Rdriving predominantly short distances
Rfrequent operation in mountainous terrain or
on poor road surfaces
Rleaving the engine idling for long periods on a frequent basis
In these or similar operating conditions, have
the air filter, engine oil and oil filter, for example,
replaced more frequently. Under more arduous
operating conditions, the tires must be checked more often. Further information can be obtained
at aq ualified specialist workshop, e.g. an
