Schedule of routine maintenance

Intervals of routine maintenance of the car offered in the present section are calculated on independent performance of all procedures by the owner of a vehicle. Duration of intervals was defined proceeding from a condition of daily operation of the car. Constantly to support a vehicle in the dives of a form some of procedures at will of the owner can be carried out in more intensive mode. Originators of the real Management are sure that receiving from the power unit of the car and its other knots and systems of the maximum return can achieve only under condition of a conscientious attitude of the owner to care of the vehicle. It is worth to remember as well about maintenance of a trade dress of the car on a case of its resale.

At car operation in the conditions of strongly dusty district, frequent towage of the trailer or continuous moving in an intense city cycle, intervals of performance of procedures of routine maintenance should be whenever possible reduced to a minimum.

Servicing of a new vehicle should be made in the conditions of a workshop service center of the trade mission of the company manufacturer of the car in order to avoid violation of factory guarantee certificates.

General information

This Head was made to help on purpose to the owner of the car to support the vehicle in a condition of the maximum readiness for operation, receiving from it effective return with observance of requirements to profitability and safety.

At the beginning of Head the schedule of routine maintenance of the car is provided. The sections devoted to a detailed statement of an order of performance of each of procedures of service separately below are offered. Descriptions of visual checks, adjustments, procedures of removal and installation of components are included in a material of sections, and also various good advice and recommendations. Given above an illustration with the image of types of an impellent compartment, suspension brackets and a steering will help the reader to deal with placement on the car of components subject to service.

Serving the car according to the kilometrazhno-time schedule, and following the detailed recommendations provided below, the reader will receive the accurate action program, capable to provide long duration and reliability of service of his vehicle. Remember that this program is made on a complex basis and performance only with neglect others will not lead its separate points to desirable result.
