from each Service, year after year, until the 10-year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limit
is reached.
b) Customers whose vehicles have a 24-month service interval are required to get their vehicle
serviced every 24 months instead of every 12 months, can gain additional 24 months/20,000
mile (whichever comes first) warranty from each Service, every two years, until the 10-
year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limit is reached.

from sale. Thereafter, customers can qualify on the Additional Warranty until the 10-
year/100,000-mile (whichever comes first) limit is reached.
