MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The scheduled maintenance service is important to ensure trouble-free, safe and economical driving.
Failure to perform the scheduled maintenance may cause an accident or serious damage.
If you conduct the periodical maintenance, Daihatsu car owners may reduce the chance of accidents or
car problems. Furthermore, it becomes possible for you to find at an earlier stage malfunctions which may
lead to serious damages. Consequently, potential vehicle damage can be prevented or the degree of the
damage can be minimized.
Therefore, all of the persons who are concerned with servicing the Daihatsu vehicles should offer the peri-
odical maintenance service to Daihatsu car owners in order that they may be protected from accidents or
unexpected problems.
To prevent malfunctions in advance, however, conducting the periodical maintenance service only is insuffi-
cient. It is essential that owners themselves perform maintenance, such as the pre-starting check de-
scribed in the owner’s manual, so that the vehicle exhibits no abnormal change or phenomenon. Hence,
please explain to owners about the necessity of maintenance performed by them. However, malfunction
may occur on those vehicles which are always checked by their owners. For instance, if a part instructed to
be replaced periodically should be used beyond the replacement intervals and the life of the part has ex-
pired, there are cases where malfunction occurs suddenly despite the fact that no malfunction has taken
place until yesterday. To prevent such malfunction in advance, be sure to replace parts recommended to
be replaced periodically at the specified replacement intervals.
This section describes those items of the scheduled maintenance service recommended by the Daihatsu
and their intervals. Be sure to observe the maintenance schedule.
