Service Precaution
WARNING: IF SO EQUIPPED WITH A
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS),
REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND WIRING
LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFOMING SERVICE ON
OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS. CAUTION: Always use the correct fastner in the
proper location. When you reolace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that requir a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that requir thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED , do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fastners or fastner
joint interfaces. Generally,such coatings adversely
affect the fastner torque and the joint clamping force,
and may damage the fastner. When you install
fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and
specifications. Following these instructions can
help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
