Maintenance should be performed at least once a year. If during this time more than 10,000 km (diesel models) or more than 15,000 km (carburetor engine) have been driven, then maintenance should be performed after this mileage. Under severe operating conditions, for example, when predominantly driving in urban transport conditions and on short sections of the road, frequent trips in mountainous areas, driving with a trailer and on dusty highways, perform maintenance accordingly more often.
