NOTE

• This interval should be judged by odometer reading or months, whichever comes first.
• This table includes service as scheduled up to 90,000 km (54,000 miles) mileage. Beyond 90,000 km

(54,000 miles), carry out the same services at the same intervals respectively.

NOTE

• “I”: Inspect and correct, replace or lubricate if necessary.
• “R”: Replace or change.
• Some maintenance items are required to be serviced at times other than the regular maintenance

times shown at the top of above table. These items can be serviced at an earlier service opportunity
according to customer’s maintenance convenience. Their next maintenance service should be done
within the specified period.
