HONDA 2003 Civic GX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 21)

The Maintenance Schedule specifies
how often you should have your
Civic GX serviced and what things
need attention. It is essential that
you have your vehicle serviced as
scheduled to retain its high level of
safety, dependability, and emissions
control performance.
Refer to the important safety
precautions and instructions in the
primary owner’s manual.
The fuel system is under high
pressure (maximum 3,600 psi/24,800
kPa). It has no user-serviceable parts,
and its components must not be
modified. Whenever maintenance is
required, take your vehicle to an
authorized Honda Civic GX dealer,
or a qualified NGV technician.
The services and time or distance
intervals shown in the maintenance
schedule assume you will use your
vehicle as normal transportation for
passengers and their possessions.
You should also follow these
recommendations:
Avoid exceeding your vehicle’s
load limit. This puts excess stress
on the engine, brakes, and many
other parts of your vehicle. The
load limit is shown on the label on
the driver’s doorjamb.
Operate your vehicle on
reasonable roads within the legal
speed limit.
Drive your vehicle regularly over a
distance of several miles
(kilometers).
Follow the Maintenance Schedule

your vehicle MAINLY under one or
more of the following conditions.
Service your vehicle according to the
time and mileage periods on one of
