ULED 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 period-
ically 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.
F060D01TB-GAT
o Fuel Lines, Fuel Hoses and
Connections
Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and
connections for leakage and damage.
Have a trained technician replace any
damaged or leaking parts immedi-
ately.
!
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 subjected
to high pressure even after the en-
gine has been switched off. The
fuel jet produced by fuel leaks may
cause serious injury, if it contacts
with the body. People using pace-
makers should not move closer
than 30cm to the ECU or wiring
harness within the engine room with
the engine running, since the high
currents in the Common Rail sys-
tem produce considerable magnetic
fields.
