Precaution for Maintenance Service
•When having driven through water, check immediately if
water has entered (if so, oil is cloudy). Water mixed oil must
be changed at once.
•Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work than
oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage and status of
breather hoses.
Differential Gear Oil Change
1) Before oil change or inspection, be sure to stop engine and
lift up vehicle horizontally.
2) Check oil level and existence of leakage. If leakage is found,
correct its cause.
3) Drain old oil and pour proper amount of gear oil as specified
(roughly up to level hole).
4) Torque drain plug (3) and level/filler plugs (2) to specification.

10B-74 AIR BAG SYSTEM
8) Route deployment harness out the vehicle.
9) Verify that the inside of the vehicle and the area surrounding
the vehicle are clear of all people and loose or flammable
objects.
10) Stretch the deployment harness to its full length 10 m (33 ft)
(1).
Special tool
(A) : 09932-75030
11) Place a power source near the shorted end (3) of the deploy-
ment harness. Recommended application: 12 Volts mini-
mum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.
12) Completely cover windshield area and front door window
openings with a drop cloth, blanket to similar item (2). This
reduces the possibility of injury due to possible fragmenta-
tion of the vehicle’s glass or interior.
13) Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to
deploy the air bag (inflator) module or activate the seat belt
pretensioner.

NOTE:
When the air bag deploys and the pretensioner acti-
vates, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial
report. Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all people
in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air
bag (inflator) module or to activate the seat belt preten-
sioner and suitable ear protection should be worn.
After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction.
WARNING:
After deployment/activation, the metal surfaces of the
air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt pretensioner
will be very hot. Do not touch the metal areas of them
for about 30 minutes after deployment/activation.
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (infla-
tor) module and activated seat belt pretensioner. Fail-
ure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal
injury.
