Maintenance
The Scheduled Maintenance Guide (USA) and

necessary maintenance work which should
be performed at regular intervals. It is
important that you service your vehicle in
accordance with the prescribed
maintenance schedule. Failure to do so may
render your vehicle unsafe, it may affect
the durability of the vehicle, and it may
otherwise void the limited, express
warranty.
Always have the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide (USA) or Service Booklet (Canada)
with you when you take the vehicle to your
authorized smart center for service. The
service advisor will record each service in
the booklet for you.
