Normal Vehicle Use
The maintenance instructions in this Maintenance Schedule are based on the assumption that the vehicle will be used
as designed:
1. to carry passengers and cargo within the limitations specified on the tyre placard located on the inside of the glove
compartment door;
2. to be driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal operating limits;
3. to be driven on a daily basis, as a general rule, for at least several kilometers;
4. to be driven on unleaded fuel
Unusual or severe operating conditions will require more frequent vehicle maintenance, as specified in the following
sections.

Extreme Operating Conditions
If the vehicle operates under any of the extreme conditions listed below, it is recommended that some items be
serviced more frequently than the intervals specified in the maintenance plan.
The extra services listed below need only be carried out if the vehicle operates continuosly under the conditions
specified.
If the vehicle is operated under any of these conditions on a one-off basis, e.g. a holiday trip, then the extra service
should only be applied for that period of time.
As a guide, if operating under any of these extreme conditions for a period of one month or 1500km, then the vehicle
would qualify for additional services.
A: Repeated short trips
B: Driving on rough roads
C: Driving on dusty roads
D: Driving in extremely cold weather and/or on salted roads.

Recommended Liquid Gasket
NOTE:
1. It is very important that the liquid gaskets listed
above or their exact equivalent be used on the
vehicle.
2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid
gasket.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions at all
times.
3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and
moisture from the connecting surfaces before
applying the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces must be perfectly dry.
4. Do not apply LOCTITE 17430, LOCTITE 515
and LOCTITE 518 between two metal surfaces
having a clearance of greater than 0.25 mm
(0.01 in). Poor adhesion will result.
* RTV: Room Temperature Vulcanizer
Recommended Thread Locking
Agents
Application Steps
1. Completely remove all lubricant and moisture
from the bolts and the female-threaded surfaces
of the parts to be joined.
The surfaces must be perfectly dry.
2. Apply LOCTITE to the bolts.
3. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
After tightening, be sure to keep the bolts free
from vibration and torque for at least an hour
until LOCTITE hardens.
