This section describes the checks and adjustments necessary to maintain the vehicle's high performance, fuel economy, driving safety, and durability.

In order to ensure reliable operation of the vehicle throughout its entire service life, it is necessary to carry out maintenance in a timely manner. The manufacturer has established the maintenance intervals listed below.

Please note that it is necessary to strictly adhere to the maintenance schedule; performing only a few maintenance items at the specified intervals will not produce optimal results.

If maintenance is not performed regularly, the normal operation of various units and devices of the vehicle is disrupted. This is especially true for the engine of a used car that has not been subjected to regular or timely inspections. In such cases, in addition to periodic maintenance, it is necessary to perform additional adjustment work.

When servicing a vehicle, many of the operations can and should be grouped due to the similarity of the nature of the work. This is illustrated by the following example. If the vehicle is raised for lubrication of chassis components, the exhaust system, suspension, steering and fuel system can be checked at the same time.

If the wheels are removed for periodic tire rotation, the condition of the brakes and wheel bearings should be checked.

If you borrowed a torque wrench, check the spark plug and wheel bearing torques at the same time. Servicing a car requires some basic skills, so please read the relevant sections first. Collect all the necessary parts and tools. If you experience unexpected problems while performing any work, consult your dealer.
