Check the fuel lines, fuel hoses and con-
nections for leakage and damage. Have a
trained technician replace any damaged
or leaking parts immediately.

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 periodically for proper tension
and adjusted as necessary.

F060M01A-AAT

o Engine Oil and Filter

The engine oil and filter should be changed
at the intervals specified in the mainte-
nance 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, damage the
emission system and cause hard starting.
If an excessive amount of foreign matter
accumulates in the fuel tank, the filter may
require replacement 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.
