perform“I”(checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
(3) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(4) If engine power decreases, black exhaust smoke is emitted or engine noise increases, check injection nozzles and if
necessary, replace injection nozzle assembly.

Maintenance Under Severe Driving Conditions
(Annual Driving Distance < 30,000 km/year)
=NLMA0043S03The maintenance intervals shown on the preceding pages are for normal operating conditions. If the vehicle
is mainly operated under severe driving conditions as shown below, more frequent maintenance must be per-
formed on the following items as shown in the table.

B—Driving repeatedly short distances
C—Towing a trailer or caravan
D—Extensive idling
E—Driving in extremely 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—Frequent off road use or driving in water
K—Sustained high speed driving
L—For models without Euro-OBD system
