How This Section is Organized The remainder of this section is divided into five parts: "Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services" shows what to have done and how often. Some of these so services can be complex, unless you are technically qualified and have thenecessary equipment, you should let your dealer's service department or anotherqualified service centerdo these jobs. "Part B: Owner Checks and Services" tells you what should be checked and when. It also explains what you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in good condition. "Part C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections" explains important inspections your dealer's service that department or anotherqualified service center should perform. "Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" lists some recommended products to help keep your vehicle properly maintained. These products, or their equivalents, should be used whether you do thework yourself or have it done. "Part E: Maintenance Record" provides a place for you to record the maintenance performed on your vehicle. Whenever any maintenance is performed, be sure to write it down in this part. This will help you determine when your next maintenance should be done. In addition, it is good idea to keep your maintenance a receipts. They may be needed to qualify your vehicle for warranty repairs. Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be dangerous. In trying to do some jobs, you can be seriously injured. Do your own maintenance work only if you have the required know-how and the proper tools and equipment for the job. If you have any doubt, have a qualified technician do the work. If you are skilledenough to do somework on your vehicle, you will probably want to get the service information. See "Service and Owner Publications"in the Index. 7-3
