VICE PROCEDUREº).
2. Remove inspection hole cover located under the luggage com-
partment carpet.

CAUTION:
IBe careful not to drop or damage catalytic converter.
INever wet catalytic converter with water, oil, etc.
IAlways replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reas-
sembling.
If gasket is left on flange surface, scrape off complete as
shown at left.
IWith engine running, check all tube connections for
exhaust gas leaks, and entire system for unusual noises.
IAfter installation, but before fully tightening exhaust joints,
check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting
insulators are free from undue stress. If any of the above
parts are not installed properly, excessive noise or vibra-
tion may be transmitted to the vehicle body.

Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection System
or Engine Control System
1. Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for
the multiport fuel injection system or ECM (Engine Control
Module):
Turn ignition switch to ªOFFº position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
2. Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure to eliminate danger.
3. Be careful not to jar components such as control unit and air
flow meter.
Precautions for Catalyst
If a large amount of unburned fuel enters the converter, the con-
verter temperature will rise to excessively high values. To prevent
this, follow the procedure below:
1. Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously
damage the catalytic converter.
2. When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine
compression, perform tests quickly and only when necessary.
3. Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, as a result
the engine may misfire causing damage to the converter.
4. Do not place the vehicle on inflammable material. Keep inflam-
mable material off the exhaust pipe.
Precautions for Turbocharger
The turbocharger turbine revolves at extremely high speeds and
becomes very hot. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a clean
supply of oil flowing through the turbocharger and to follow all
required maintenance instructions and operating procedures.
For proper operation of the system, follow the procedure below:
1. Always use the recommended oil. Follow the instructions for
proper time to change the oil and proper oil level.
2. Avoid accelerating engine to a high rpm immediately after start-
ing.
3. If engine had been operating at high rpm for an extended period
of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to shutting it off.

Precautions for Fuel
DIESEL ENGINE*:
Diesel fuel of at least 50 cetane for ZD30DDTi engine.
* If two types of diesel fuel are available, use summer or winter
fuel properly according to the following temperature conditions.
IAbove þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Summer type diesel fuel.
IBelow þ7ÉC (20ÉF) ... Winter type diesel fuel.
CAUTION:
IDo not use home heating oil, gasoline, or other alternate
fuels in your diesel engine. The use of those can cause
engine damage.
IDo not use summer fuel at temperature below þ7ÉC (20ÉF).
The cold temperature will cause wax to form in the fuel. As
a result, it may prevent the engine from running smoothly.
IDo not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
Precautions for Engine Oils
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the
removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation
and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate
means of skin protection and washing facilities must be provided.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
1. Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly
used engine oils.
2. Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where
practicable.
3. Do not put oily rags in pockets.
4. Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underwear, with oil.
5. Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not
be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regularly.
6. First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
7. Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to
help the removal of oil from the skin.
8. Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations containing
lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
9. Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or sol-
vents for cleaning skin.
10. If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
11. Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
12. Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be
worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addition
an eye wash facility should be provided.
(For the United Kingdom, see also HSE Cautionary Notice SHW
397 ªEffects of Mineral Oil on the Skinº.)
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be
recommended only for units of approved design. The heating sys-
tem must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pollution for
small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt check with the
appropriate local authority and/or manufacturer of the approved
appliance.
