On the road tips for one of a kind trips!

An automobile is constructed out of a large number of parts, which can become worn out, weak and brittle, or corroded to lower the performance, depending on the conditions or the length of use. Constructed parts need to undergo periodic maintenance, regular adjustments or replacements to keep it in tiptop shape.

By carrying out periodic maintenance, the following results can be achieved, ensuring the customer's trust and peace-of-mind:

1. Much larger problems with the vehicle that may occur later can be avoided.
2. The vehicle can be maintained in a state where it adheres to legal regulations.
3. The life of the vehicle can be extended.
4. The customer can enjoy an economic and safe driving experience.

The items for periodic maintenance servicing and the service interval of the vehicle are stated in the maintenance schedule chart of the Owner's Manual, Owner's Manual Supplement or Warranty Booklet etc.

The maintenance schedule is stipulated by these factors: model, age, country in which it is used, or state of the vehicle.

Service intervals are decided according to the distance traveled and the period elapsed since the previous service

For example, if the maintenance schedule for a particular part is stated as 40,000 km or 24 months, maintenance falls at the point where either of these conditions is met. The vehicle is therefore due for service after either:

Driving 40,000 km/12 months() after its previous service, or driving 5,000km/24 months() after its previous service.

If the vehicle is being used under any of the following conditions, frequent maintenance will be necessary:

1. Road Conditions
   
   Rough or extremely muddy roads, roads on which snow has melted, extremely dusty roads
   
   
2. Driving Conditions
