GENERAL INFORMATION
General precautions
Dangerous substances
Modern vehicles contain many materials and liquids 
which if not handled with care can be hazardous to 
both personal health and the environment.
WARNING: Many liquids and other substances 
used in motor vehicles are poisonous and should 
under no circumstances be consumed and 
should, as far as possible, be kept from contact 
with the skin. These liquids and substances 
include acid, anti-freeze, asbestos, brake fluid, 
fuel, windscreen washer additives, lubricants, 
refrigerants and various adhesives.
Always read carefully the instructions printed on 
labels or stamped on components and obey them 
implicitly. Such instructions are included for 
reasons of your health and personal safety. 
Never disregard them.
WARNING: Many of the fluids used in motor 
vehicles, such as coolant, brake fluid and power 
steering fluid,  are inflammable. Take care not to 
spill fluids when topping-up, a fire may result. If 
spillage does occur, ensure the area is 
thoroughly cleaned before starting the engine.
Synthetic rubber 
Many 'O' rings, seals, hoses, flexible pipes and other 
similar  items which appear to be natural rubber, are 
in fact, made of  synthetic materials called 
Fluoroelastomers.
Under normal operating conditions this material is 
safe and does not present a health hazard. However, 
if the material is damaged by fire or excessive 
heating, it can break down and produce highly 
corrosive Hydrofluoric acid which can cause serious 
burns on contact with skin.
If skin contact does occur: 
lRemove any contaminated clothing 
immediately.
lIrrigate effected area of skin with a copious 
amount of cold water or  limewater for 15 to 60 
minutes.
lObtain medical assistance immediately.
Should any material be in a burnt or over-heated 
condition, handle with extreme caution and wear 
protective clothing (seamless industrial gloves, 
protective apron etc.). Decontaminate and dispose of 
gloves immediately after use.Lubricating oils 
WARNING: Avoid excessive skin contact with used 
engine oil. Used engine oil contains potentially 
harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer 
or other serious skin disorders.
WARNING: Avoid excessive skin contact with 
mineral oil. Mineral oils remove the natural fats from 
the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
Health protection precautions
The following precautions should be observed at all 
times:
lAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, 
particularly used engine oils.
lWear protective clothing, including impervious 
gloves where practicable.
lDo not put oily rags in pockets.
lAvoid contaminating clothes (particularly those 
next to the skin) with oil.
lOveralls must be cleaned regularly. Discard 
heavily soiled clothing and oil impregnated 
footwear.
lFirst aid treatment should be obtained 
immediately for open cuts and wounds.
lUse barrier creams: apply before each work 
period to help prevent lubricating oil from 
contaminating the skin.
lWash with soap and water to ensure all oil is 
removed (propriety skin cleansers and nail 
brushes will help).
lUse moisturisers after cleaning; preparations 
containing lanolin help replace the skin's natural 
oils which have been removed.
lDo not use petrol, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas, oil, 
thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
lIf skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice 
without delay.
lWhere practicable, degrease components prior 
to handling.
lWear eye protection (e.g. goggles or face 
shield) if there is a risk of eye contamination. 
Eye wash facilities should be provided in the 
close  vicinity of the work area. 

GENERAL INFORMATION

Self-locking nuts
Self-locking nuts, i.e. nylon insert or deferred thread 
nuts can be re-used  providing resistance can be felt 
when the locking portion of the nut passes  over the 
thread of the bolt or stud.
DO NOT apply heat in an attempt to free deferred 
thread nuts or fittings;  as well as causing damage to 
protective coatings, there is a risk of damage to 
electronic equipment and brake linings from stray 
heat.
Where self-locking nuts have been removed, it is 
advisable to replace them with new ones of the same 
type.
Where bearing pre-load is involved, nuts should be 
tightened in accordance with special instructions.
Flexible pipes and hoses
General
When removing and installing flexible hydraulic pipes 
and hoses, ensure that the following practices are 
observed to ensure component serviceability:
lBefore removing any brake or power steering 
hose, clean end fittings and area surrounding 
them as thoroughly as possible.
lObtain appropriate plugs or caps before 
detaching hose end fittings,  so that the ports 
can be immediately covered to prevent the 
ingress of dirt.
lClean hose externally and blow through with 
airline. Examine carefully for cracks, separation 
of plies, security of end fittings and external 
damage. Reject any faulty hoses.
lWhen refitting a hose, ensure that no 
unnecessary bends are introduced, and that 
hose is not twisted before or during tightening of  
union nuts.
lFit a cap to seal a hydraulic union and a plug to 
its socket after removal to prevent ingress of 
dirt.
lAbsolute cleanliness must be observed with 
hydraulic components at all times.
lAfter any work on hydraulic systems, carefully 
inspect for leaks underneath the vehicle while a 
second operator applies maximum brake 
pressure to the brakes (engine running) and 
operates the steering.
Do not disconnect any pipes in an air 
conditioning refrigeration system unless trained 
and instructed to do so. A refrigerant is used 
which can cause blindness if allowed to contact 
eyes. 

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-21
It should be noted that these precautions are not 
restricted to operations performed when servicing 
the SRS system, the same care should be exercised  
when working on ancillary systems and components 
located in the vicinity of SRS components; these 
include but are not limited to:
lSteering system – steering wheel airbag, 
rotary coupler.
lFront fascia –  passenger front airbag (where 
fitted); SRS DCU behind centre console, on 
transmission tunnel under the HeVAC system.
lFront seats –  seat belt pre-tensioners, integral 
with seat belt buckle assembly.
lElectrical system –  SRS harnesses, link leads 
and connectors.
Making the SRS system safe
Before working on or in the vicinity of SRS 
components, ensure the system is rendered safe by 
performing the following procedures:
lRemove the ignition key from the ignition switch.
lDisconnect both battery leads, earth lead first.
lWait 10 minutes for the SRS DCU back-up 
power circuit to discharge.
The SRS system uses energy reserve capacitors 
that keep the system active in  the event of electrical 
supply failure under crash conditions. It is necessary 
to allow the capacitor sufficient time to discharge (10 
minutes) in order to  avoid the risk of accidental 
deployment.
WARNING: Always disconnect both battery leads 
before beginning work on the SRS system. 
Disconnect the negative battery lead first. Never 
reverse connect the battery.Installation
In order to assure system integrity, it is essential that 
the SRS system is regularly checked and maintained 
so that it is ready for effective operation in the event 
of a collision. Carefully inspect SRS components 
before installation. Do not install a part that shows 
signs of being dropped or improperly handled, such 
as dents, cracks or deformation.
WARNING: The integrity of SRS system 
components is critical for safety reasons. Ensure 
the following precautions are always adhered to:
lNever install used SRS components from 
another vehicle or attempt to repair an SRS 
component.
lWhen repairing an SRS system only use 
genuine new parts.
lNever apply electrical power to an SRS 
component unless instructed to do so as 
part of an approved test procedure.
lSpecial Torx bolts are necessary for 
installing the airbag module — do not use 
other bolts. Ensure bolts are tightened to the 
correct torque.
lAlways use new fixings when replacing an 
SRS component.
lEnsure the SRS Diagnostic Control Unit 
(DCU) is always installed correctly. There 
must not be any gap between the DCU and 
the bracket to which it is mounted. An 
incorrectly mounted DCU could cause the 
system to malfunction.
CAUTION: Ensure SRS components are not 
contaminated with oil, grease, detergent or 
water.
Ensure that SRS component fixings are correctly 
positioned and   torqued during service and repair.
CAUTION: Torque wrenches should be regularly 
checked for accuracy to ensure that all fixings 
are tightened to the correct torque.
If you suspect an airbag assembly could be 
defective, install a new   unit and dispose of the old 
unit. Manually deploy the old unit before  disposal.

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-2
Raising the front of a vehicle
Position the cup of the hydraulic arm under the 
centre of the front body crossmember assembly.
Use jack to raise front road wheels to enable safety 
stands to be  installed under the front end of each 
longitudinal member.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on 
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle re-
check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
 Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle 
from stands. 
NOTE: For some repair operations it may be 
necessary to use a jack to support the engine under 
the sump. In this case, a block of wood should be 
used on the jack to protect the sump.
Raising the rear of a vehicle
Position cup of hydraulic arm under the centre of the 
rear subframe  crossmember at the position 
identified by the embossed arrows.
Use jack to raise rear road wheels to enable safety 
stands to be  installed under the rear ends of the 
body longitudinal members.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on 
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle, re-
check the  stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle 
from stands.   
Wheel-free lift
Locate the lifting pads under the ends of the body 
longitudinal members. Raise the ramp to support the 
weight of the vehicle, ensure the vehicle is secure on 
the lifting pads, then raise the ramp to the required 
height.
Towing
General
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The 
following instructions must be adhered to:
Towing the vehicle on all four wheels with driver 
operating steering and brakes
lTurn ignition key to position '1' to release 
steering lock and then to position 'II' to enable 
the brake lights, wipers and direction indicators 
to be operated, if necessary.
l Select neutral in gearbox and ensure HDC (hill 
descent control) is deselected.
lSecure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
lRelease the parking brake.
CAUTION: The brake servo and power assisted 
steering system will not be functional without the 
engine running. Greater pedal pressure will be 
required to apply the brakes and the steering 
system will require greater effort to turn the front 
road wheels. The vehicle tow connection should 
only be used under normal road conditions, 
'snatch' recovery should be avoided.
Suspended tow by breakdown vehicle
Mark propeller shaft drive flanges and mating flanges 
with identification lines to enable the propeller shaft 
to be refitted in its original position.
Remove the propeller shaft fixings then remove the 
shaft from  the vehicle.
CAUTION: To prevent vehicle damage, rear 
propeller shaft MUST BE removed.
