ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
1. When installing any of the vehicle parts, be careful not to
pinch or damage any of the wiring harnesses.
2. Sensors, relays, etc., are sensitive to strong impacts.
Handle them with care so that they are not dropped or
mishandled.
3. The electronic parts used for relays, etc., are sensitive to
heat. If any service which causes a temperature of 80°C
(176°F) or more is performed, remove the part or parts in
question before carrying out the service.
FUSES AND FUSIBLE LINKS
1. If a blown-out fuse is to be replaced, be sure to use only a
fuse of the specified capacity. If a fuse of a capacity larger
than that specified is used, parts may be damaged and the
circuit may not be protected adequately.
Caution
1. If a fuse is blown-out, be sure to eliminate the cause
of the problem before installing a new fuse.
2. Check the condition of fuse holders. If rust or dirt is
found, clean metal parts with a fine-grained sandpa-
per until proper metal-to-metal contact is made.
Poor contact of any fuse holder will often lead to
voltage drop or heating
in the circuit and could
result in improper circuit operation. 1 cnlY589

2. If additional optional equipment is to be installed in the
vehicle, follow the procedure listed in the appropriate
instruction manual; however, be sure to pay careful
attention to the following points:
(1) In order to avoid overloading the wiring, take the
electrical current load of the optional equipment into
consideration, and determine the appropriate wire size.
(2) Where possible, route the wiring through the existing
harnesses.
(3) If an ammeter or similar instrument is to be connected
to a live-wire circuit, use tape to protect the wire, use a
clamp to secure the wire, and make sure that there is
no contactwith any other parts.
(4) Be sure to provide a fuse for the load circuit of the
optional equipment.
TUBES AND OTHER RUBBER PARTS
Be careful to avoid spilling any gasoline, oil, etc., or rubber
parts, they might be adversely affected.
LUBRICANTS
In accordance with the instructions in this Service Manual,
apply the specified lubricants in the specified locations during
assembly and installation.
BRAKE FLUID
Be careful to avoid spilling any brake fluid on painted
surfaces, because the paint coat might be discolored or
damaged.
