2. THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT INEOS WARRANTY

2.1 TYRES
Tyres, even when originally installed on new INEOS vehicles, are warranted by the tyre manufacturer. An INEOS Automotive Limited Approved Workshop will assist you in making a warranty claim for tyres if necessary. INEOS is not liable for repair or replacement of the tyres or any costs relating to such repair or replacement.

2.2 PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION
To make sure you will be completely satisfied with your new Grenadier from the very start, it has been inspected and prepared before delivery according to INEOS’s New Vehicle Pre-Delivery Inspection Procedure.

 

2.3 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SERVICE

The vehicle must be serviced in accordance with INEOS’ periodic servicing schedule. Servicing must be performed in accordance with INEOS recommended maintenance requirements. Failure to adhere to this condition may result in your warranty claim being rejected and INEOS may ask to see evidence that the vehicle has been properly serviced.

 

Additional maintenance service may be required. In particular, weather and atmospheric conditions, varying road surfaces, heavier or more frequent vehicle usage, use in extreme terrain or severe driving conditions and individual driving habits are likely to make additional servicing necessary.

 

2.4 INEOS AUTOMOTIVE APPROVED WORKSHOP

It is recommended that servicing be performed by an INEOS Automotive Approved Workshop to ensure that it is carried out to the required standards. They will have a direct interest in your satisfaction as a INEOS customer, are familiar with your vehicle and are updated regularly on each INEOS model. They are equipped and trained to provide optimum service to your INEOS vehicle.

 

2.5 GENUINE INEOS PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

Genuine INEOS parts and accessories are approved by INEOS for use on INEOS vehicles. Only genuine INEOS parts and accessories are covered by INEOS’s Genuine Parts and Accessories Warranty.

 

Damage caused to your vehicle as a result of fitting non-Genuine Parts and Accessories is not covered by this warranty.

 

2.6 WARRANTY SERVICE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

INEOS Warranties are usually only valid in regions in which the vehicle is originally sold. However, if a warranty repair is required in another region, you should contact your local INEOS workshop who will discuss the issue with INEOS Automotive.

 

If a repair under warranty is agreed you will be required to pay for the repair in the first instance and then present the invoice for the work performed to an INEOS workshop in the region in which the vehicle was originally sold.

 

Reimbursement will be in the applicable currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the time of repair.

 

Warranty cover may differ between regions (as set out in the Warranty Coverage Period table above).

 

This booklet must be presented to an authorised INEOS Automotive Approved Workshop when a warranty repair is necessary.

 

Therefore, it is essential that this manual is kept in your vehicle at all times. 

 

2.7 DESIGN OR SPECIFICATION CHANGE

INEOS has the right at any time to make changes to the design or specifications of any INEOS vehicle without notice and without obligation to update or make changes on vehicles that sold before the update or change was implemented.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

During the normal day-to-day operation of the vehicle, general maintenance should be performed regularly as prescribed in this section.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

The periodic maintenance and servicing required to ensure good engine and emission control system performance and good mechanical condition of your new vehicle can be found by scanning the QR code below.

These matters should be attended to by your INEOS Automotive Approved Workshop.

Periodic maintenance means that your vehicle will require servicing either on a time or mileage / Km based schedule. You should arrange an appointment with your INEOS Automotive Approved Workshop whenever your vehicles reaches either the appropriate mileage or time interval. For example, for a vehicle with a 12,000mile (20,000km) /12-month maintenance schedule, the service will be due when you have driven 12,000 miles (20,000 Km) OR the vehicle has been registered for 1 year, whichever occurs first.

Vehicles should be serviced within 1,000 miles (1,600) Km or one month of the due time or distance.

The maintenance schedule is based on normal vehicle usage. Depending on weather and atmospheric conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent maintenance will be required. Severe driving conditions include:

 

A - Driving under dusty conditions

 

B - Driving repeatedly short distances

 

C - Towing a trailer

 

D - Extensive Idling

 

E - Driving in unusually extreme adverse weather conditions or in areas where ambient temperatures are either extremely low or extremely high

 

F - Driving in high humidity areas or in mountainous areas

 

G - Driving in areas using salt or other corrosive materials

 

H - Driving on rough and/or muddy roads or in the desert

 

I - Driving with frequent use of braking or in mountainous areas

 

J - Regular driving at or near maximum operational speed for the vehicle

 

Therefore, if you drive under severe conditions, please refer to the plan shown when you scan the QR Code.
