7 Cleaning the intercooler and radiator
core
If the front of the intercooler or radiator gets clogged
with dirt or dust, cooling efficiency will decrease. It
could also be a cause of rust. Clean the intercooler
and radiator at regular intervals. P. 12-95
The belt is kept adjusted to the appropriate tension
by the auto-tensioner, so you do not need to adjust
the belt tension. However, you should check the
auto-tensioner is working properly.
CAUTION
• If the belt is found to be damaged, have it
replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as
possible. The engine could fail if the belt
breaks.
• Prevent the V-belt from any contact with oil
or grease during inspection.
If soiled with oil or grease, the belts will slip
and this will shorten their service life.
