PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Maintenance items with “ ” should be performed more frequently according to “Maintenance Under Severe Driving Con-
ditions”.
(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. 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), then every 60,000Km (36,000 miles). After first replacement, 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.
