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 or 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

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
● Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.
●(1)Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
●(2) Replace the drive belts if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
●(3) First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 miles), then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles). Perform "I" (Checking the mixture ratio
and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement interval.
●(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
●(5) Perform only according to "Maintenance Under Severe Driving conditions" for models without Euro-OBD system. For
models with Euro-OBD system, periodic maintenance is not required.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (QR20DE·QR25DE)
●Replace the radiator cap if there is an abnormality in the negative-pressure valve, or if the open-valve
pressure is outside of the standard values.
CHECKING RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with a
tester.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure engine coolant escaping
from the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
Checking Fuel LinesELS000JX
Inspect fuel lines, filler cap and tank for improper attachment, leaks,
cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterioration. If nec-
essary, repair or replace faulty parts.
Fuel Hose Clamp
CAUTION:
Tighten high-pressure rubber hose clamp so that clamp end is
3 mm (0.12 in) from hose end.
Tightening torque specifications are the same for all rubber
hose clamps.
Ensure that screw does not contact adjacent parts.
Changing Air Cleaner FilterELS000JY
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning.
DRY PAPER TYPE
It is necessary to clean the filter or replace it at the recommended intervals, more often under dusty driving
conditions.Testing pressure:

Changing Fuel FilterELS000CF
REMOVAL
1. Remove air duct and upper air cleaner case.
2. Remove fuel filter protector.
3. Remove fuel hoses from fuel filter bracket.
CAUTION:
Plug the pipe to prevent fuel from draining.
4. Remove fuel filter with bracket.
CAUTION:
Do not splash fuel during removal. If fuel is splashed,
immediately wipe it off.
5. Using band-type filter wrench (commercial service tool), remove
fuel filter.
6. Turn fuel filter upside down to drain fuel.
7. Remove drain plug from fuel filter.
INSTALLATION
Install in reverse order of removal, paying attention to following:
●Replace O-ring on drain plug with new one.
●Screw the fuel filter by hand until packing contacts sealing surface of bracket. Then tighten it by turning
approximately 2/3 turn.
●After installation, bleed air from fuel path. Refer to FL-16, "Air Bleeding" .
●Check for fuel leakage with running engine.

4. Remove the O-ring from the filter body.
●Push the O-ring in one direction, lift the slack part using fin-
gers, and remove the O-ring from the filter body.
CAUTION:
Do not use wires or flat-bladed screwdrivers etc. as they
may cause damage to the filter body.
INSTALLATION
1. Completely remove all foreign objects adhering to the inside of the filter body or O-ring mounting area
(body side and bracket side).
2. Install the oil filter and O-ring to the filter body.
●Push the oil filter into the filter body completely.
3. Install the filter body to the oil filter bracket.
4. After warming up the engine, check for engine oil leakage.
5. Check engine oil level and add engine oil. Refer to LU-18, "
ENGINE OIL" .
Draining WaterELS000CJ
1. Prepare a tray at the drain hose open end.
2. Loosen drain cock, and operate priming pump to drain water
from fuel filter.
CAUTION:
●Water in filter is drained with fuel. Prepare larger capacity
pan than fuel filter volume.
●Drained water is mixed with fuel. Prevent fuel from adher-
ing to rubber parts such as engine mount insulator.
3. After draining, close drain cock by hand.
CAUTION:
If drain cock is tightened excessively, it may be damaged
and fuel will leak. Do not use tools to tighten drain cock.
4. Bleed air in fuel piping. Refer to FL-16, "
Air Bleeding" .
5. Start engine and check fuel leakage.
