VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
5- 6
F060B01A-AAT
o Drive belts
Inspect all drive belts for evidence of cuts,
cracks, excessive wear or oil and replace if
necessary. Drive belts should be checked
periodically 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, damage the emission
system and cause hard starting. If an exces-
sive amount of foreign matter accumulates in
the fuel tank, the filter may require replace-
ment more frequently.
After installing a new filter, run the engine for
several minutes, and check for leaks at the
connections. Fuel filters should be installed by
trained technicians.
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.
F060D01TB-AAT
o Fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-
tions
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and connec-
tions for leakage and damage. Have a trained
technician replace any damaged or leaking
parts immediately.
WARNING (Diesel only):
Never work on injection system with en-
gine running or within 30 seconds 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 pacemak-
ers 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.
F060E01A-AAT
o Timing belt
Inspect all parts related to the timing belt for
damage and deformation. Replace any dam-
aged parts immediately.
F060G01A-EAT
o Vapour hose and fuel filler cap
The vapour hose and fuel filler cap should be
inspected at those intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule. Make sure that a new
vapour hose or fuel filler cap is correctly
replaced.
F060F01A-AAT
o Vacuum, crankcase
ventilation hoses
Inspect the surface of hoses for evidence of
heat and/or mechanical damage. Hard and
brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions,
and excessive swelling indicate deterioration.
Particular attention should be paid to examine
those hose surfaces nearest to high heat
sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect the hose routing to assure that the
hoses do not come in contact with any heat
source, sharp edges or moving component
which might cause heat damage or mechani-
cal wear. Inspect all hose connections, such
as clamps and couplings, to make sure they
are secure, and that no leaks are present.
Hoses should be replaced immediately if there
is any evidence of deterioration or damage.
