Engine Timing Belt — 2.4L Engine

Replace the engine timing belt at the intervals described
in the appropriate maintenance schedule.

Ignition Wiring System — 2.4L Engine

Replace the ignition cables at the intervals described in
the appropriate maintenance schedule.

Crankcase Emission Control System

Proper operation of this system depends on freedom
from sticking or plugging due to deposits. As vehicle
mileage builds up, the PCV valve and passages may
accumulate deposits. If a valve is not working properly,
replace it with a new valve. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
CLEAN THE OLD PCV VALVE!

Check ventilation hose for indication of damage or
plugging deposits. Replace if necessary.

Air Cleaner Filter

Under normal driving conditions, replace the air filter at
the intervals shown on “Maintenance Schedule A.” If,
however, you drive the vehicle frequently under dusty or
severe conditions, the filter element should be inspected
periodically and replaced if necessary at the intervals
shown on “Maintenance Schedule B.”

WARNING!

The air cleaner can provide protection in the case of
engine backfire. Do not remove the air cleaner
unless it is necessary for repair or maintenance.
Make sure that no one is near the engine compart-
ment before starting the vehicle with the air cleaner
removed. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
