NOTE:

When having driven through water, check immediately if wa-
ter 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.
Gear Oil Change
NOTE:

Hypoid gear oil must be used for differential.

It is highly recommended to use SAE 80W ± 90 viscosity.
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, cor-
rect its cause.
3) Drain old oil and pour proper amount of gear oil as specified be-
low (roughly up to level hole).
4) Apply sealant to thread of drain plug (b) and torque plugs to
specification.

2. Drop cloth, blanket or similar item2
10B-80 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 ob-
jects.
10) Stretch the deployment harness to its full length 10 m (33 ft).
11) Place a power source near the shorted end of the deployment
harness. Recommended application: 12 Volts minimum, 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. This reduces
the possibility of injury due to possible fragmentation of the ve-
hicle's glass or interior.
13) Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy
the air bag (inflator) module.
NOTE:

When the air bag deploys, 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 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 residue.
This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lu-
bricate the bag as it inflates) and byproducts of the
chemical reaction.
WARNING:
Safety precautions must be observed when handling a
deployed air bag (inflator) module.

After deployment, the metal surfaces of the air bag (infla-
tor) module will be very hot. Do not touch the metal areas
of the air bag (inflator) module for about 30 minutes after
deployment.

Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator)
module.

If the deployed air bag (inflator) module must be moved
before it is cool, wear gloves and handle by the air bag or
vinyl trim.
Failure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal
injury.
