11 FUEL HEATER When Slow-blow Fuses Blow Out
Slow-blow fuses protect the
electrical circuits, and they are
installed so that they can be quickly
replaced if there is a malfunction.
If an overload exists in the circuit
from the battery, the slow-blow fuse
will blow out before the wiring
harness is damaged to protect the
electrical circuitry. InspectionWhen the headlights and other
devices in the electrical system do
not work, but there is no problem
with the fuses, check the
slow-blow fuse.
The slow-blow fuse is blown if it
looks like the illustration.
Immediately contact the nearest
dealer.

336 Service and Maintenance
3. Engine Oil and Oil Filter :
Change at interval noted below
depending upon driving conditions.
•Normal Service —Change every
16 000 km (10,000 miles) or
12 months whichever occurs first.
• Severe Service —Change every
8 000 km (5,000 miles) or 3 months
if you often drive under one or more
of these conditions: (a) driving in
dusty areas, (b) frequent idling or
idling for long periods, (c) driving
6 km (4 miles) or less in freezing
weather, or other short trips in cold
weather, where the engine does not
thoroughly warm up.
Change oil and filter as soon as you
can after driving in a dust storm.
When recommended oil is used, it
conforms to this maintenance
schedule. (Recommended oil: CK-4
(API designations))
4. Fuel Filter : Replace the fuel
filter every 24 000 km (15,000 miles)
or more frequently if clogged or
replace when the fuel filter indicator
light comes on (if equipped). 5. Pre-Fuel Filter/Water
separator :
Replace the fuel filter
every 24 000 km (15,000 miles) or
more frequently if clogged or
replace when the fuel filter indicator
light comes on (if equipped).
6. Air Cleaner Filter : The level of
dirt in the air cleaner element can
be checked against the indicator.
Replace the air cleaner filter when
the Driver Information Center (DIC)
shows "CHECK AIR FILTER".
7. Damage to Air Intake Ducts and
Hoses : Check for damage of air
intake ducts and hoses and that
those are correctly installed every
24 000 km (15,000 miles) or
12 months. Replace or adjust those
if necessary.
8. Drive Belts : Check belt driving
the fan, alternator or A/C
compressor every 16 000 km
(10,000 miles). Look for cracks,
fraying, wear, and proper tension.
9. Engine Bolt Torques : Loosened
bolts result in lower engine output.
Check and adjust manifold mounting, and injectors to correct
torque every 80 000 km
(50,000 miles).
10. Rotate Tires :
To equalize wear,
rotate tires and adjust tire pressures
every 10 400 km (6,500 miles). See
Tire Rotation 0307.
11. Engine Cooling System : At
12 months or 16 000 km
(10,000 miles) intervals, wash
radiator cap and filler neck with
clean water, pressure test system
and radiator cap for proper pressure
holding capacity, tighten hose
clamps and inspect condition of all
cooling and heater hoses. Replace
hoses if cracked, swollen or
otherwise deteriorated. Have the
hoses replaced by your authorized
dealer.
12. Engine Coolant : Inspect the
engine coolant every 12 months.
Replace the engine coolant every
24 months, drain the engine coolant
by opening the drain plug at the
bottom of the radiator core, flush
and refill the engine cooling system
with a new engine coolant. Refer to
"Preparing Engine Coolant" in
