The timing belt is crucial for the vehicle's operation, connecting the crankshaft to the camshaft, which is responsible for the movement of the valves. Given its fundamental role within the engine, a timing belt failure would result in immediate vehicle stoppage and potentially severe, if not irreversible, damage to the engine.

Since its proper functioning is vital for the car's performance, maintenance and inspection of the timing belt must not be neglected. The manufacturer recommends replacement after exceeding 75,000 miles.
