b. Using a suitable inner hexagon wrench, adjust the 

tensioner adjuster in the adjustment direction (1) of 
timing belt tensioner, and also tighten the fixing bolt 
with a wrench until the timing belt tensioner needle (2) 
and timing notch mark (3) of base are aligned.

HINT:
After marks of tensioner are aligned, return to an 
angle after rotating by 5° - 10°, then align the marks 
again.

5. Tighten the timing belt tensioner fixing bolt (arrow).

6. Tighten the intake camshaft phaser assembly (1) fixing 

bolt.



(Tightening torque: 120 ± 5 N·m)

7. Tighten the exhaust camshaft phaser assembly (1) fixing 

bolt.

10.Perform timing belt self-adjustment.

a. Turn the crankshaft to run timing belt several circles smoothly.
b. Install the camshaft locking special tool.
c. Install the crankshaft timing tool.
d. Loosen the fixing bolts of exhaust/intake camshaft phaser assembly, so that the timing belt returns to 

natural state.

e. Tighten the exhaust/intake camshaft phaser assembly fixing bolt.
f. Remove the camshaft locking special tool.
g. Remove the crankshaft timing tool.

11.Tighten the intake/exhaust phaser covers.

(Tightening torque: 30 N·m)

12.Other installation procedures are in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION

 Rotate the crankshaft 2 turns, and check the tension of timing belt tensioner. The tension of  timing belt is 

375 - 483 N. If alignment marks of timing belt tensioner are not aligned, loosen the tensioner fixing bolt, 
and adjust the tensioner again. 

 In order to ensure the usage life of timing belt, it is necessary to perform timing belt self-adjustment 

operation.
