M A I N T E N A N C E S C H E D U L E S 252 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES Fluid Levels Check fluid levels for the following systems and correct if necessary. Should there be a loss of fluid that cannot be explained by regular use, trace and eliminate the cause. • Engine cooling system (check corrosion inhibitor/ antifreeze) • Hydraulic brake system • Power steering system • Windshield washer system FSS SYSTEM The Flexible Service System (FSS) permits a flexible service schedule that is directly related to the operating conditions of the vehicle. See the Understanding Your Instrument Panel section for details on how to use the FSS. The oil change interval for your Crossfire is initially set at 7,000 miles (Canada: 11,000 km). Very light duty driving cycles (most trips more than 10 miles [16 km] at moderate speeds in moderate temperature conditions) can extend the service interval beyond 7,000 miles (Canada: 11,000 km). If ANY of the following apply to your driving, the oil change interval can be reduced significantly: − Day or night temperatures are below 32°F (0°C). − Stop and go driving. − Extensive engine idling. − Driving in dusty conditions. − Short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km). − More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather, above 90°F (32°C). There are two symbols which will appear in the main odometer display field prior to the next suggested service. 8
