PERIODIC MAINTENANCEPFP:00026
Periodic MaintenanceELS000AM
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.
ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL MAINTENANCE (QR20DE PETROL ENGINE)
(Annual Mileage <30,000 Km/year)
Abbreviations: I = Inspect and correct or replace as necessary, R = Replace,.
NOTE:
lMaintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving
Conditions”.
l(1)Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
l(2) Replace the drive belts if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
l(3) First replace at 90,000 Km (54,000 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.
l(4) Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FL section.
l(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.

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
lTo check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with
atester.
WA RN ING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could occur from high pressure coolant escaping from
the radiator.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
Checking Fuel LinesELS000AQ
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.
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.

3. Disconnect fuel hoses at 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:
lReplace O-ring on drain plug with new one.
lScrew the fuel filter by hand until packing contacts sealing surface of bracket. Then tighten it by turning
approximately 2/3 turn.
lAfter installation, bleed air from fuel path. Refer toFL-16, "Air Bleeding".
