the following:
 Wash out your eyes and seek immediate medical
attention.
 Wash your skin with soap and then rinse thor-
oughly with water.
3. RADIATOR FAN
The radiator fan may rotate without warning, even
when the engine is not on. Do not place your hand,
cloth, tools, or other items near the fan at any time.
4. ROAD TESTS
Always conduct road tests in accordance with traf-
fic rules and regulations to avoid bodily injury and
interrupting traffic.
5. AIRBAG

ment of airbags and unnecessary maintenance, fol-
low the instructions in this manual when performing
maintenance on airbag components or nearby, and
airbag wiring harnesses or nearby.
To prevent unexpected deployment, perform the
steps below and then wait at least 20 seconds to
discharge electricity before beginning work.
 Step 1: Turn the ignition switch OFF.
 Step 2: Disconnect the ground cable from bat-
tery.
6. AIRBAG DISPOSAL
To prevent bodily injury from unexpected airbag
deployment, do not dispose airbag modules in the
same way as other refuse. Follow all government
regulations concerning disposal of refuse.
7. AIRBAG MODULE
Adhere to the following when handling and storing
the airbag module to prevent bodily injury from un-
expected deployment:
 Do not hold the harnesses or connectors to carry
module.
 Do not face the bag in the direction that it opens
towards yourself or other people.
 Do not face the bag in the direction that it opens
towards the floor or walls.
8. AIRBAG SPECIAL TOOLS
To prevent unexpected deployment, only use spe-
cial tools.
9. WINDOW
Always wear safety glasses when working around
any glass to prevent glass fragments from damag-
ing your eyes.
10.WINDOW ADHESIVE
Always use the recommended or alternative adhe-
sive when attaching glass to prevent it from coming
