5VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
4REGULAR SERVICING
F030A03A-DAT An odometer reading or time interval determines when service is necessary. For most people, the odometer reading will indicate when service is needed. If, however, you drive very little, your vehicle should be serviced at least every 12 months. Under severe driving conditions, more frequent maintenance is required.

F060B01A-AAT 
o Drive Belts Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil and replace if necessary. Drive beltsshould be checked periodically for proper tension and adjusted as neces- sary. F060D01TB-AAT
o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses andconnections for leakage and damage. Have a trained technician replace any damaged or leaking parts immediately.EXPLANATION OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ITEMS
F060M01A-AAT 
o Engine Oil and Filter The engine oil and filter should be changed at the intervals specified in the maintenance schedule. If the car is being driven in severe conditions,more frequent oil and filter changes are required. F060C01A-AAT
o Fuel Filter
A clogged filter can limit the speed at
which the vehicle may be driven, dam-age the emission system and cause hard starting. If an excessive amountof foreign matter accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may require re- placement more frequently. After installing a new filter, run the
engine for several minutes, and checkfor leaks at the connections. Fuel fil- ters should be installed by trained technicians.
!WARNING (DIESEL ONLY):
Never work on injection system with engine running or within 30 sec- onds after shutting off engine. High pressure pump, rail, injectors andhigh pressure pipes are subject to high pressure even after the engine stopped. The fuel jet produced byfuel leaks may cause serious injury, if it touch the body. People using pacemakers should not move than30cm closer to the ECU or wiring harness within the engine room while engine is running, since thehigh currents in the Common Rail system produce considerable mag- netic fields.
