Important!
When the engine is shut down, the inlet and exhaust
adjustment unit is normally locked in its initial position.
The situation may arise in some individual cases where this
initial position is not reached and the camshaft can continue
to be rotated in the adjustment range of the adjustment unit.
In order to avoid incorrect timing adjustment, it is essential to
check the locking of the adjustment unit and if necessary
perform locking by rotating the camshafts.
