The timing belt must be removed when the engine is cold!
Do not crank the engine with the timing belt removed!

Removing
See illustration Timing Belt Replacement.
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
2. Remove the air cleaner.
3. Apply the parking brake, jack up the front of the vehicle and place it on jack stands. Remove the right front wheel.
4. Chalk or paint mark the direction of rotation of the accessory drive belt. Using a spanner wrench to retract the tensioner, loosen the belt and remove it from the engine.
5. Remove the upper section of the timing cover [1].
6. Support the engine using the KM-6001 fixture and install the KM-909-B centering tool.
7. Remove the accessory drive belt tensioner.
8. Remove the right powertrain mount assembly with its bracket.
9. After passing the special tool KM-911 [2] into the transmission dome, block the flywheel from turning.
10. Remove the retaining bolt [3] and remove the crankshaft pulley [4].
11. Remove the lower section of the timing cover [5].
12. Remove the flywheel blocking tool.
13. Temporarily screw in place the bolt of the crankshaft pulley and bring the engine to the TDC position of the end of the compression stroke of the piston of the first cylinder (see Bringing the piston of the first cylinder to the position of the top dead center of the compression stroke (TDC). Make sure that the alignment marks [6] are aligned correctly.
14. Check that the alignment mark of the gear wheel is aligned with the counter mark on the rear cover of the timing drive [7] - if necessary, turn the crankshaft one more full turn.
15. Pull the movable segment of the tensioner until the holes [8] line up and fix it in this position by inserting a suitable rod into the holes.
16. Remove the timing belt.
Installation
See illustration Timing Belt Replacement.
1. Make sure that the alignment marks [6] and [7] are aligned correctly.
2. Starting at the crankshaft sprocket and working counterclockwise, install the timing belt. Make sure the belt is tight in the areas between adjacent wheels.
3. Remove the locking rod [8] from the tensioner and loosen the water pump assembly mounting bolts [9].
4. Using the special tool KM-421-A, turn the pump clockwise, taking out the slack of the belt [10] — the movable section of the tensioner should be opposite the stop [11]. Lightly tighten the pump mounting bolts.
5. Rotate the crankshaft two full turns clockwise until alignment marks [6] and [7] are correctly aligned.
6. Loosen the fixing bolts [9] again and use the KM-421-A tool to turn the water pump counterclockwise [12] so that the tensioner pointer is opposite the V-shaped notch of the base plate [13].
7. Tighten the pump mounting bolts to the required torque (8 Nm).
8. Turn the crankshaft two full turns clockwise, bringing the engine to the TDC position of the end of the compression stroke of the piston of the first cylinder - make sure that the alignment marks [6] and [7] are correctly aligned. If the desired alignment of the marks does not occur, repeat the procedure for adjusting the belt tension.
9. After passing the KM-911 special tool into the transmission dome, block the flywheel [2].
10. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt [3].
11. Reinstall the removed components in the reverse order of removal.
12. Screw a bolt of a pulley of a cranked shaft and tighten it with the demanded effort.
