1. Never disassemble the steering wheel pad assembly.
2. Do not subject the steering wheel pad to shocks or bring magnets close to it.
3. Do not expose the steering wheel pad to high temperatures or fire.
4. If grease, cleaner, oil or water gets on the steering wheel pad, promptly wipe it off with a dry cloth.
5. Do not drop the steering wheel pad. Never use a steering wheel pad which has been dropped.
6. Never install the steering wheel and pad in another vehicle.
7. When the steering wheel pad is removed, store it on a stable, flat place with the pad surface facing upœ
wards. Never place anything on top of the pad.
8. When work on the vehicle will produce too strong a shock, first loosen the sensor lock release bolt until
it turns freely and perform the work after sensor lock occurs.
9. Even in cases where the vehicle is in a low-impact accident where the airbag is not activated, always
check the pad surface and airbag sensor part. If dents, cracks or deformation is visible, replace the airœ
bag with a new assembly.
10. When disposing of the vehicle or steering wheel, always deploy the airbag first.
11. The deployed inflator inside the steering wheel pad is hot, so dispose of it after it has been cooled by
atmospheric air. Never apply water to cool it down.
2. BRAKE SYSTEM
The brake system is one of the most important safety components. Always follow the directions and
notes given in section BR of the repair manual for the relevant model year when handling brake system
parts.
3. DRIVE TRAIN AND CHASSIS

and vibration resistance of the vehicle. After installing components in the sections listed in the table
below, perform alignments to ensure correct mounting angles and dimensions. Particularly accurate
repair of the body must also be done to ensure correct alignment.
HINT: Correct procedures and special tools are required for alignment. Always follow the directions
