(1) The replacement interval for the timing belt is the maximum lifespan which should not be exceeded. Replace the timing
belt if it comes into contact with fuel. The frequency of replacement should be adapted depending on vehicle usage. See
“Maintenance Under Severe Driving Conditions”.
(2) Replace every 120,000 km/maximum 60 months. Replace drive belt if it comes into contact with fuel or damage is found
during inspection.
(3) First replace at 100,000 Km (60,000 miles)/60 months, then every 60,000Km (36,000 miles)/36 months. After first replace-
ment, perform "I" (checking the mixture ratio and correcting the mixture ratio if necessary) at the middle of replacement
interval.
(4) If valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
(5) Replace every 40,000 km/48 months.
