Service Schedule

The recommended service intervals apply under normal driving conditions and do not take into consideration all of the optional equipment available. Dusty areas require more frequent checking and possibly replacement of the air filter cartridge. Tire, clutch and brake wear as well as the condition of the oil in the engine in particular depend greatly on the driving habits and are adversely influenced by extreme operating conditions; this might necessitate shorter intervals for checking and replacement and applies logically also for the item "check battery acid level".

Maintenance service should be carried out at least once a year and precautionary measures against corrosion should be taken before winter. The brake fluid and the coolant should be renewed at least every two years.
