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.
F060B01A-AAT
o Drive Belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of
cuts, cracks, excessive wear or oil
saturation and replace if necessary.
Drive belts should be checked periodi-
cally for proper tension and adjusted
as necessary.
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 amount
of 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 check
for 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 and
high pressure pipes are subject to
high pressure even after the engine
stopped. The fuel jet produced by
fuel leaks may cause serious injury,
if it touch the body. People using
pacemakers should not move than
30cm closer to the ECU or wiring
harness within the engine room
while engine is running, since the
high currents in the Common Rail
system produce considerable mag-
netic fields.
F060D01TB-AAT
o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Replace any damaged or leaking parts
immediately.
