PRECAUTIONS BEFORE SERVICE.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
1. to follow when servicing SRS
(1) Be sure to read GROUP Supplemental Restraint System
For safe operations, please follow the directions a nd heed all
(2) Always use the designated special tools and tes t equipment.
(3) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before” further work;
The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag even after the battery
has been disconnected. Serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work
is done on the SRS system immediately after the bat tery cable is disconnected.
(4) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the SRS components (SRS-ECU air bag module and
clock spring). If faulty, replace it.
(5) Warning labels must be heeded when servicing or handling SRS components. Warning labels
are located in the following locations.
Sun visor
l Glove box
. S R S - E C U
l Steering wheel
l Air bag module
l Clock spring
l Steering gear and linkage clamp
(6) Store components removed from the SRS
a clean and dry place.
The air bag module should be stored on a flat surfa ce and placed so that the pad surface is’
facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of it.
(7) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing of the air bag’module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag. (Refer to GROUP
Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.)
(8) Whenever you finish servicing the
check the SRS warning light operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
2.Observe the following when carrying out operations on places where SRS components are installed,’
.,
including operations not directly related to the SR S air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts do not allow any impact or shock to the SRS components.
(2) SRS components should not be subjected to heat over so remove the SRS compo-
nents before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
After re-installing them, check the SRS warning lig ht operation to make sure that the system
functions properly.
SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. Note the following before proceeding with work o n the
electrical system.
Note that the following must never be done:
Unauthorized modifications of any electrical device or
wiring, because such modifications might lead to a vehicle
malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that co uld result
in a fire in the vehicle.
2.When servicing the electrical system, disconnect th e nega-
tive cable terminal from the battery.

GENERAL Precautions before Service . .
Caution
1.Before connecting or disconnecting the negative
be sure to turn off the ignition and
the lighting switch.
(if this is not done, the possibility semi-
conductor parts being damaged.)
2.After completion of the work steps [when the bat-
tery’s negative terminal is connected], warm
up the engine and allow it for approximately
five minutes under the conditions be-
low, in order to stabilize the engine condi-
tions, and then check to be sure that idling’ is
satisfactory.

VEHICLE WASHING
If high-pressure car-washing equipment or steam car -washing
equipment is used to wash the vehicle, be maintain
the spray nozzle at a distance of at ‘least 300 mm (12 in.)
from any plastic parts and all opening parts (doors , luggage
compartment, etc.).
APPLYING ANTI-CORROSION
OTHER UNDERCOAT AGENTS.,
Be careful not to adhere oil or grease to the heate d oxygen
sensor. If adhered, the sensor may malfunction.
Protect the heated oxygen sensor with a cover befor e applying
anti-corrosion agent, etc.
SCAN TOOL
To operate the scan tool, refer to the “MUT-II OPER ATING
INSTRUCTIONS”.
Caution
Turn the ignition switch off befoie connecting and discon-
necting the scan tool.

GENERAL Maintenance Service
2.Check the wheel cylinder boots for evidence, a’ brake
fluid leak. Visually check the
boots for tears or
cracks. (A slight amount of fluid on the boot may not
be a leak, but may be preservative assembly.)
Caution
The shoes for the right and left be,
replaced at the same time.
Never split or intermix brake
sets.
All four shoes must be replaced as a set.
Thickness of lining
Limit: 1.0 mm in.)
17. BRAKE HOSES (Check for
leaks)
Check of brake hoses and tubing should be
brake service operations.
The hoses should be checked for:
1.Correct length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing
or worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses i s exposed
by cracks of abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the hoses
should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of may
occur with possible bursting failure.)
2. Faulty installation, casing twisting or interfer ence
wheel,’ tire or chassis.
18. BALL JOINT AND STEERING SEALS
(Check for grease leaks damage)
1. These components, which are permanently lubricat ed
at the factory, do not require periodic lubrication. Damaged
seals and boots should be replaced to prevent leakage
or contamination of the grease.
2.Check the dust cover and boots for proper sealing, leakage
and damage. Replace them if defective.
19. DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS (Check for leaks
and damage)
1. These components, which are permanently lubricat ed
at the factory, do not require periodic Damaged
boots should be replaced to prevent leakage or contamina-
tion of the grease.
2.Check the boots for proper sealing, leakage and damage.
Replace it if defective.
AXLE OIL (Check oil level)-AWD
Remove the filler plug and check the oil level at bottom of
filler hole. If the oil level is slightly below the filler hole, it
is in satisfactory condition.
