The timing belt, sometimes mistakenly called a drive belt, synchronises the opening and closing of the valves with the engine, ensuring each valve opens and closes at the correct time. It is a toothed belt that drives the engine's camshaft.

The estimated lifespan of the timing chain is 155,000 miles or every 5 to 6 years of use. It is important to highlight that the vehicle is equipped with a timing chain and not a belt, meaning the chain lasts significantly longer than a rubber belt, although it may be slightly noisier.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
