3. SERVICING
3.1 ABNORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
If the veh icle is dri ven under an y of the abnor mal c onditions lis ted, it is rec omm ended that som e item s be serviced
more frequently than in the maintenance schedule.
The extra services are only required if the vehicle is driven under abnormal conditions. If the abnormal conditions
are encountered on a once-off basis, then any additional servicing should be for that time only. As a guide, if the
vehicle is operated continuall y over a per iod of one m onth or 1000 km under any of the abnorm al conditions, the n
additional servicing is recommended.
3.2 M AINTENANCE SCHEDULE – V6 AND V6 SUPERCHARGED – DOMESTIC
ABNORMAL CONDITIONS
A Frequent short trips (less than 10 km) where the engine does not generally reach operating temperature.
B Dust, dirt, loose road material.
C Muddy and wet areas.
D Cold weather (below 5 °C) and when most trips are less than 5 km.
E Stop-start driving, excessive idling or low speed operation as experienced in inner city driving
i.e. taxi, door to door delivery, police.
F Caravan or trailer towing.
