Footnotes
f- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the

the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the
completion
of vehicle useful life. We, however, urge that

* Your vehicle has an Engine Oil Life Monitor.
This monitor will show you when to change the oil

(1 2 500 km) since your last oil change. Under severe
conditions the indicator may come

3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your vehicle
more than
7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months
without an oil change.

the oil. So if you
drive
in a dusty area be sure to change your oil every
3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner if the CHANGE OIL
light comes on. Remember to reset the Oil Life Monitor
when the oil has been changed. For more information,

it repaired.

system for damaged, loose or missing parts,
signs of

axle boot seals for damage, tears or leakage. Replace

near the exhaust system.
Look for broken, damaged,
missing or out-of-position parts

holes, loose connections,
or other conditions which

exhaust fumes into the vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust”
in
the Index.
Throttle Linkage Inspection
Inspect the throttle linkage for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts as
needed. Accelerator and cruise control cables should
not
be lubricated.

hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing,
etc. Inspect disc brake pads
for wear and rotors for
surface condition. Inspect other brake parts, including
