The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric
conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent
maintenance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

NOTE:
(1) First replace at 90,000 km (54,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. Perform ªIº (Check-
ing the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(2) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(3) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FE section.
(4) Perform only according to ªMaintenance Under Severe Driving Conditionsº for models without Euro-OBD system. For
models with Euro-OBD system, periodic maintenance is not required.
HMaintenance items with ªHº should be performed more frequently according to ªMaintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditionsº.
