Hi, I am new here, having just purchased a 2011 MY12 Jazz VTI-S.
The global Owner's Manual specifies a service interval of 12 months or 20,000km on page 277 under the title "Maintenance Schedule (Except Australia and New Zealand". There is no equivalent page in the manual for Australia and New Zealand.
The Australian Owner's Warranty and Service Manual specifies a service interval of 6 months or 10,000km.
I am having difficulty in understanding why an Aus or NZ delivered vehicle requires twice as much servicing as all the other countries in the World.
Can anybody shed some light on this ? I am suspecting that the 6 month interval might be related to a fixed price servicing plan that was being offered in 2011. In which case it should be called "fixed price servicing plan interval" rather than the true service interval.
Thanks, DLP
