Note: Although the normal interval for timing belt renewal is 72 000
miles (120 000 km), It is strongly recommended that the timing belt
renewal interval is halved to 36 000 miles (60 000 km) on vehicles
which are subjected to intensive use, ie. mainly short journeys or a lot
of stop-start driving. The actual belt renewal interval is therefore very
much up to the individual owner, but bear in mind that severe engine
damage will result if the belt breaks.

The maintenance intervals in this manual

are provided with the assumption that you,
not the dealer, will be carrying out the work.
These are the average maintenance intervals
recommended for vehicles driven daily under
normal conditions. Obviously some variation
of these intervals may be expected depending

on territory of use, and conditions
encountered. If you wish to keep your vehicle
in peak condition at all times, you may wish to
perform some of these procedures more
often. We encourage frequent maintenance
because it enhances the efficiency,
performance and resale value of your vehicle.

If the vehicle is driven in dusty areas, used

to tow a trailer, driven frequently at slow
speeds (idling in traffic) or on short journeys,
more frequent maintenance intervals are
recommended.
