7. Pay attention to the "Areas of Importance" below to
avoid damaging any part:
(a) Do not open the cover or case of the ECU (Electronic
Control Unit) unless it's absolutely necessary. (Touching
the pin of the IC (Integrated Circuit) may damage the
IC due to static electricity.)
(b) When unplugging the vacuum hose, make sure to pull
from the end of the hose but not the center.
IncorrectCorrect
(c) To make hose reassembly more convenient, label the
unplugged portions for easier recognition later. After
performing this task, check carefully to make sure the
hose is connected correctly.
(d) Be careful! Do not drop any electrical components (like
sensors or relay connectors). Replace them at once
if they have been dropped onto a hard surface. They
cannot be used for the second time.
(e) When cleaning the engine with a steam, make sure to
properly protect the ignition coil and air filter as to
prevent water from seeping in.
(f) D o n o t f o r c e f u l l y t r y t o c o n n e c t a h o s e i n t o a n
oversized tube while using a vacuum gauge. Instead,
use a stepped connector. If the hose is stretched, it may
lead to leaking.
8. All resistors must be measured at below 20oC room
temperature unless special situations arise. This is
because resistance value measured under higher
temperature may exceed standard requirements, espe-
cially if measured after driving the vehicle. All measures
should be taken after the engine has cooled down.
Circuit Maintenance Instructions
1. Rules to be obeyed before a circuit is repaired:
(a) Make sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable from the
battery before electrical maintenance is performed.
(b) W h e n i n s p e c t i o n a n d m a i n t e n a n c e w o r k r e q u i r e s
disconnecting the battery, make absolutely sure to
disconnect the negative (-) cable of the battery and that
it is connected to the vehicle body as grounding.
(c) To prevent damaging the wiring terminal of the battery,
loosen the cable's fixing nut and lift up the cable, but
do not forcefully twist or press the cable.
(d) When cleaning up the battery's and the cable's connecting
terminals, make sure to use a special rag, and do not use a
file or other rough material to wipe them.
(e) While connecting the connecting terminals of the cable
and battery, loosen the nuts first, then tighten them
after installation. Do not hammer the cable's connecting
terminals into the battery with a hammer.
(f) I f t h e b a t t e r y ' s g r o u n d c a b l e h a s n o t y e t b e e n
disconnected, please do not try to speed charge the
battery, as this could damage the alternator's diode.
(g) Should the battery's ground cable be disconnected,
please do not try to start the engine, as this could
seriously damage the wire.
(h) Make sure to properly cover the battery's positive (+)
end cover.

3. Binding wire harness connectors.
(a) When disconnecting the connections, first press the two
ends of the connectors together, then loosen the lock
and press the lock pawl to release the connector.
(b) When disconnecting the connector, do not pull on its
wire harness. Grasp the joint directly.
(c) Check if the joint is deformed, damaged, or port lost
before connecting the connector.
(d) The connector is not successfully connected until it
makes a click sound.
4. Wire harness connector inspection.
(a) Check while connecting the connectors.
Squeeze both ends of the connectors to make sure it is com-
pletely plugged in and tightly locked.
(b) Check when disconnecting the connectors.
Check by lightly pulling the wire harness behind the connec-
tor's joint. Look for any unconnected or dropped terminals,
loose clamps, or broken wires.
Visually inspect for instances of corrosion, metal fragments,
oddities, and water, as well as bending, rust, overheating,
pollution or deformed terminals, etc.
(c) Check the contact pressure of the terminals.
Prepare a plug that matches the connector's port, plug it into
the socket, then check for the proper rate of tension after
they are fully engaged.

General Repair Methods and Operations
1. If a jack is needed, please kindly comply to the safety procedures liste\
d below.
2. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, stablize the front and the back wheels using any fixed object or tool,
jack up the vehicle, support it with the chassis, and then start the mai\
ntenance.
3. Disconnect the battery's negative cable before maintenance, in order to reduce the possibility of
damaging and burning out the cable due to a short circuit.
4. Cover the vehicle body, seats, and floor to prevent them from being damaged and polluted.
5. Handle brake fluid and antifreeze fluid carefully, because it may damage the vehicle's surface paint
and its surroundings.
6. Using the proper tools or basic tools that have been recommended and are purchasable is very
important in guaranteeing an effective and reliable maintenance result.
7. Dispose the used dowel pins, gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, lock washers, and self-locking nuts. Prepare
new parts for installation. Normal functions are not guaranteed if these\
parts are reused.
8. Store the removed parts in order and in groups to make reassembly more c\
onvenient.
9. Store bolts and nuts separately, because their hardness levels and designs are different according to
the installation locations.
10. Clean parts before they are inspected or reassembled. In addition, parts that come in contact with
engine oil also need to be cleaned, as well as checked for blockage by u\
sing compressed air.
11. Before installation, use engine oil or grease to lubricate the rotating and sliding sides of the necessary
parts.
12. When necessary, use sealant on gaskets to avoid leakage.
13. Please carefully comply to all tightening torque specifications of b\
olts and nuts.
14. After maintenance, check to make sure whether the repairs were performed correctly and whether the
malfunctions have been fixed.
Vehicle Lifting/Lowering Procedures
When lifting the vehicle, the lifter must be placed at the indicated spots. Using these indicated spots
incorrrectly can lead to permanent deformation of the vehicle body. Many vehicle service stations
have autolifts that raise vehicles by supporting certain vehicle parts. If using other types of lifts, be
careful to prevent damages to the fuel tank, oil filler, or the base of the vehicle body.

Vehicle Body's Basic Calibration Measurements
This section shows the basic parameters of the overall vehicle. Please refer to this section when servicing or
repairing.
• All figures used to express measurements are actual figures.
• Measuring points are taken from the center of the mounting holes.
• When using the gauge, adjust the two measuring needles until they reach an equal length, then check
the measuring needle and the gauge itself to ensure there are no gaps.
• When using measuring tape, make sure not to stretch, twist, or bend it. \
• The asterisk (*) symbol after a numerical measurement value indicates that the other side's
symmetrical position is of equal value.
• Coordinates of the measuring points refer to the distances measured between the point and "X", "Y",
and "Z" standard lines.
• The left & right symmetry points of a measuring point's coordinate represent a coordinate point on the
left side, and that the right and left side are symmetrical.
