OPERATION CHECK
With engine stopped, change the vacuum to the atmospheric pres-
sure by depressing brake pedal several times. Then with brake
pedal fully depressed, start engine and when the vacuum pressure
reaches the standard, make sure that clearance between brake
pedal and floor panel decreases.
CAUTION:
Depressing pedal interval is approximately 5 seconds.
AIR TIGHT CHECK
Run engine at idle for approximately 1 minute, and stop it after
applying vacuum to booster. Depress brake pedal normally to
change the vacuum to the atmospheric pressure. Make sure
distance between brake pedal and floor panel gradually
increases.
Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with brake pedal is depressed. Brake pedal stroke should not
change after holding brake pedal down for 30 seconds.
CAUTION:
Depressing brake pedal interval is approximately at intervals 5
seconds.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCEPFP:00026
Periodic MaintenanceBLS0008Z
The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric con-
ditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent mainte-
nance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

NOTE:
(1) Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(2) Replace the drive belt if found damaged or if the auto tensioner reading (for QR20DE engine) reaches the maximum
limit.
(3) First replace at 100,000 km (60,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000 km (36,000 miles)/48 months. 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.

Conditions”. MAINTENANCE OPERATIONMAINTENANCE INTERVAL Reference page

ENGINE MAINTENANCE (QR20DE)
CHECKING RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
To check for leaks, apply pressure to the cooling system with
radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and radiator cap
tester adapter [SST].
WARNING:
Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high-pressure engine coolant
escaping from radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher testing pressure than specified may cause radiator
damage.
NOTE:
In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.
If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
Checking Fuel LinesBLS00094
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
Changing Air Cleaner FilterBLS00095
VISCOUS PAPER TYPE
The viscous paper type filter does not need cleaning between replacement intervals. Refer to MA-8,
"PERIODIC MAINTENANCE".
Removal
1. Unhook air cleaner case (lower) side clips and lift up air cleaner case (upper).
2. Remove air cleaner filter.
Installation
Installation is the reverse order of removal.
Changing Engine OilBLS00096
WARNING:
Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.Testing pressure
: 157 kPa (1.57 bar, 1.6 kg/cm
2 , 23 psi)
