The recommended service intervals apply under normal driving conditions.
If
you drive mainly in
dusty
areas, check the air cleaner ele-
ment more often and replace
if
necessary. The condition
of
oil, and wear-and-tear items (such as tires, brakes, clutch lining) depend
greatly
on the amount
of
driving and on driving habits. Therefore, oil and wear-and-tear items should be checked more
fr
equently, and
if
necessa
ry
replaced
at
shorter intervals. Also, the battery electrolyte level should be checked more often. A complete
ma
intenance
and lubrication service should be performed at least once a year, preferably before the winter. The same applies
to
protective under-
coating
for
the vehicle.
