Scheduled Maintenance
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Required Services
Every Month
Engine oil level check.
Engine, power electronics, and high voltage battery pack coolant level checks.
Fluids visual leak check. A leak in any system must be repaired and the fluid level checked.
Windshield washer fluid level check.
Tire inflation check.
Tire wear inspection.
Every 12 000 km/7,500 mi
Rotate tires.
Every 24 000 km/15,000 mi
Check the engine oil filter for corrosion if driving in a corrosive environment, such as areas of high humidity, along an ocean coast, and/or areas that apply road salt during winter. Have the engine oil and filter changed if the filter shows signs of corrosion. After each oil and filter change, the oil life system must be reset. Refer to Service Reminder Indicators.
Cooling systems inspection. Visually inspect the hoses, pipes, fittings, and clamps. Replace, if needed.
Windshield wiper blade inspection for wear, cracking, or contamination and windshield and wiper blade cleaning, if contaminated.
Engine air cleaner filter inspection.
Brake system inspection.
Steering and suspension inspection. Visual inspection for damaged, loose, or missing parts or signs of wear.
Body hinges and latches and key lock cylinders lubrication. More frequent lubrication may be required when the vehicle is exposed to a corrosive environment, such as areas of high humidity, along an ocean coast, and/or areas that apply road salt during winter. Applying silicone grease on weatherstrips with a clean cloth makes them last longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak.
Restraint system component check. Now and then, check that the safety belt reminder light, safety belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and anchorages are working properly. Look for any other loose or damaged safety belt system parts that might keep a safety belt system from doing its job. Torn or frayed safety belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip apart under impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, get a new one right away. Make sure the safety belt reminder light is working. Keep safety belts clean and dry.
Fuel system inspection for damage or leaks.
Exhaust system and nearby heat shields inspection for loose or damaged components.
Propulsion System Start Check.
Warning: When you are doing this inspection, the vehicle could move suddenly. If the vehicle moves, you or others could be injured.
1. Before starting this check, be sure there is enough room around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the electric parking brake and the regular brake. Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be ready to turn off the propulsion system immediately if it starts.
3. Try to start the propulsion system in each gear. The vehicle should start only in P (Park) or N (Neutral). Repair the vehicle if the vehicle starts in any other position.
Electrical Drive Unit Shift Lock Control Function Check.
Warning: When you are doing this inspection, the vehicle could move suddenly. If the vehicle moves, you or others could be injured.
1. Before starting this check, be sure there is enough room around the vehicle. It should be parked on a level surface.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake. Be ready to apply the regular brake immediately if the vehicle begins to move.
3. With the vehicle off and the brake not applied, push the power button to ON/RUN without starting the vehicle. See Power Button. Without applying the regular brake, try to move the shift lever out of P (Park) with normal effort. Repair the vehicle if the shift lever moves out of P (Park).
Park Brake and P (Park) Mechanism Check.
Warning: When you are doing this check, the vehicle could begin to move. You or others could be injured and property could be damaged. Make sure there is room in front of the vehicle in case it begins to roll. Be ready to apply the regular brake at once should the vehicle begin to move.
1. Park on a fairly steep hill, with the vehicle facing downhill. Keeping your foot on the regular brake, set the electric parking brake.
• To check the electric parking brake's holding ability: With the propulsion system active and the electric drive unit in N (Neutral), slowly remove foot pressure from the regular brake pedal. Do this until the vehicle is held by the electric parking brake only.
• To check the P (Park) mechanism's holding ability: With the propulsion system active, shift to P (Park). Then release the electric parking brake followed by the regular brake.
Cooling systems check.
Accelerator pedal check for damage, high effort, or binding. Replace if needed.
Check the sealant expiration date printed on the instruction label of the tire sealant and compressor kit.
Hood/Decklid/Liftgate Support Gas Strut Service: Visually inspect gas strut, if equipped, for signs of wear, cracks, or other damage. Check the hold open ability of the gas strut.
Every 24 Months or When the Change Engine Oil Soon Message Displays
Every 24 months or when the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message displays, change the engine oil and filter as soon as possible, within the next 1 000 km/600 mi. The engine oil and filter must be changed at least once every 24 months. After each oil and filter change, the oil life system must be reset. More frequent changes may be required when the vehicle is exposed to a corrosive environment, such as areas of high humidity, along an ocean coast, and/or areas that apply road salt during winter. If the engine oil life system is reset accidentally, service the vehicle within 5 000 km/3,000 mi since the last service. Reset the oil life system whenever the oil is changed. Refer to Service Reminder Indicators.
Every 80 000 km/50,000 mi
Engine air cleaner filter replacement.
Evaporative control system inspection. Check all fuel and vapor lines and hoses for proper hook-up, routing, and condition. Check that the purge valve, if the vehicle has one, works properly. Replace as needed. An Emission Control Service. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of the vehicle's useful life. We, however, urge that all recommended maintenance services be performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance be recorded.
Every 160 000 km/100,000 mi
Spark plug replacement. An Emission Control Service.
Every 240 000 km/150,000 mi or every 5 years, whichever occurs first

Every 240 000 km/150,000 mi or every 10 years, whichever occurs first
Engine drive belt inspection for fraying, excessive cracks, or obvious damage. Replace, if needed.
