Extreme working conditions
Extreme operating conditions are those conditions where the vehicle is frequently required to operate in at least one of the following modes:
- Frequent trips over short distances (less than 10 km).
- Idling for extended periods and/or driving at low speeds in traffic jams.
- Driving on dirt roads.
- Driving in hilly or mountainous terrain.
- Driving with a trailer.
- Driving in heavy city traffic with outside temperatures regularly reaching 32°C or more.
- Using the vehicle as a taxi, police or delivery vehicle.
- Frequent operation at outside temperatures below freezing.
Police cars, taxis and training vehicles are also believed to operate in extreme conditions.
When operating under extreme conditions, some scheduled maintenance work may be required at shorter intervals than planned.
Seek technical advice on vehicle maintenance requirements under specific operating conditions.
