(1) First standard maintenance service at 8, 000 km or 1 year after delivery, whichever occurs first. Standard maintenance services thereafter occur at intervals of 15, 000 km or 1 year after the last standard maintenance service, whichever occurs first.

2 First major maintenance service at 25, 000 km or 2 years after delivery, whichever occurs first. Major maintenance services thereafter occur at intervals of 30, 000 km or 2 years after the last major maintenance service, whichever occurs first.

The intervals shown in this table are based on vehicles operating under normal conditions. In case of severe conditions, such as extremely low temperatures, excessive dust, etc., it is necessary for certain operations to be carried out in between the given intervals. This applies particularly to engine oil changes and the cleaning or replacing of the air cleaner filter element.
