This manual describes inspection and lubrication requirements during the Basic Service of Volvo VN/VHD vehicles. The purpose for doing the preventive maintenance is to ensure that the vehicle is safe and roadworthy over its full lifetime.
The driver is taking part in the continuous preventive maintenance program by completing the required Daily Pre-trip Inspection. This is a purely visual inspection that is designed to detect any obvious problems that would make the vehicle unsafe to take on the road. Added to the Pre-trip Inspection is the Preventive Maintenance Program that is typically carried out by trained personnel using a systematic approach to cover all important components of the new vehicle.
Preventive Maintenance is a planned vehicle maintenance program that provides an orderly series of servicing and inspecting procedures. A well applied maintenance program realizes the investment made in the vehicle. The difference between a poorly maintained vehicle and a well maintained vehicle will not show up until later mileage. Good maintenance is necessary to assure the designed life expectancy of the vehicle and its individual components.
