Checking Drive BeltsELS001JO
lBefore inspecting engine, make sure engine has cooled down; wait approximately 30 minutes after engine
has been stopped.
lVisually inspect all belts for wear, damage or cracks on contacting surfaces and edge areas.
lMeasure deflection at the marked point ( ).
CAUTION:
lWhen checking belt deflection immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value.
Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to avoid varia-
tion in deflection between pulleys.
lTighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure deflection without looseness.

Deflection Adjustment
ELS001JP
lAdjust belts with the parts shown below.
CAUTION:
lWhen a new belt is installed as a replacement, adjust it to the specified value under “New” value
because of insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves.
lIf the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the “Limit for re-adjusting”, adjust to the
“Adjusted” value.
lWhen checking belt tension immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value.
Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to the specified value to avoid vari-
ation in deflection between pulleys.
lMake sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley grooves during installation.
lHandle with care to avoid smearing the belts with engine oil or engine coolant.
lDo not twist or bend the belts with strong force.
POWER STEERING OIL PUMP BELT
1. Remove engine undercover front. Refer toEI-15, "FRONT BUMPER".
2. Loosen idler pulley lock nut (B).
3. Turn adjusting bolt (A) to adjust. Refer toMA-17, "

A/C COMPRESSOR, ALTERNATOR AND WATER PUMP BELT
1. Loosen idler pulley lock nut (D).
2. Turn adjusting nut (C) to adjust. Refer toMA-18, "
Deflection Adjustment".
3. Tighten lock nut (D).
Changing Engine CoolantELS001JQ
WARNING:
lTo avoid being scalded, do not change engine coolant when engine is hot.
lWrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully remove radiator cap. First, turn radiator cap a quarter
of a turn to release built-up pressure. Then turn the cap all the way.
DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT
1. Open radiator drain plug (1) at the bottom of radiator, and
remove radiator cap.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow engine coolant to contact drive belts.
When draining all engine coolant in the system, also perform the following steps.
2. Remove air relief plug (1) on heater feed tube.
lLHD models
lRHD models
3. Open cylinder block drain plug. Refer toEM-110, "
CYLINDER BLOCK".
4. Remove reservoir tank, drain engine coolant, then clean reservoir tank.
5. Check drained engine coolant for contaminants such as rust, corrosion or discoloration.
If contaminated, flush engine cooling system. Refer toMA-21, "
FLUSHING COOLING SYSTEM". Nut D:

Draining Water from Fuel FilterELS001JU
1. Prepare a tray (A) under the drain plug (1).
2. Loosen drain plug (1), and operate priming pump (2) to drain
water from fuel filter.
CAUTION:
lWater in filter is drained with fuel. Prepare larger capacity
pan than fuel filter volume.
lDrained water is mixed with fuel. Prevent fuel from adher-
ing to rubber parts such as engine mounting insulator.
3. Replace O-ring on drain plug with new one.
4. After draining, close drain plug to specified torque.
CAUTION:
If drain plug is tightened excessively, it may be damaged and fuel will leak.
5. Bleed air in fuel piping. Refer toFL-5, "
Air Bleeding".
6. Start engine and make sure there is no fuel leakage.
Changing Engine Air Cleaner FilterELS001JW
DRY PAPER TYPE
It is necessary to clean the filter or replace it at the recommended
intervals, more often under dusty driving conditions.
Refer toMA-8, "
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE".
Changing Engine OilELS001JX
WARNING:
lBe careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
lProlonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, put vehicle horizontally and check for engine oil leakage from engine components. Refer
toLU-5, "
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE".
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Loosen oil filler cap (1) and then remove drain plug (3).
4. Drain engine oil.
5. Install drain plug with new washer. Refer toEM-36, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER". Drain plug
