Maintena nce
Certain maintenance operations, e.g.
changes of engine oil, oil filter, air cleaner
element and brake pads, are required
more frequently for severe operating
conditions, e.g. driving on unsurfaced
roads, during thick dust or mud
accumulation, etc.
If the vehicle is driven off-road to a great
extent, the chassis will need regular
inspection.
Your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer will
inform you which additional Service is
required between the normal Service
intervals, after consideration of the specific
operating conditions of your vehicle.
Further information - see page 192.
