Short Trip/City Maintenance Definition
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

- Most trips are less than 8-16 km (5-10 mi). This is particularly important when outside temperatures are below freezing.
- Most trips include extensive idling, such as frequent driving in stop and go traffic.
- Most trips are through dusty areas.
- You frequently tow a trailer or use a carrier on top of your vehicle.
- If the vehicle is used for delivery service, police, taxi or other commercial application.
