PrecautionINFOID:0000000003776090
• Disconnect both battery cables in advance.
• Never tamper with or force air bag lid open, as this may adversely affect air bag performance.
• Be careful not to scratch pad and other parts.
• When removing or disassembling any part, be careful not to damage or deform it. Protect parts which may
get in the way with cloth.
• When removing parts with a screwdriver or other tool , protect parts by wrapping them with vinyl or tape.
• Keep removed parts protected with cloth.
• If a clip is deformed or damaged, replace it.
• If an unreusable part is removed, replace it with a new one.
• Tighten bolts and nuts firmly to the specified torque.
• After re-assembly has been completed, make sure each part functions correctly.
• Remove stains in the following way.
Water-soluble stains:
Dip a soft cloth in warm water, and then squeeze it tight ly. After wiping the stain, wipe with a soft dry cloth.
Oil stain:
Dissolve a synthetic detergent in warm water (density of 2 to 3% or less), dip the cloth, then clean off the stain

REAR SUSPENSION MEMBER
 When raising the rear suspension member assembly, use thelocating pins to align the rear suspension member to the vehicle
body.
 When installing the upper and lower rubber seats for the rear coil springs, the arrow embossed on the rubber seats must point out
toward the wheel and tire assembly.
 To connect the rear load leveling air suspension hoses, the lock ring must be fully seated in the fitt ing. Insert the hose “B” into the
lock ring “A” until the lock ring “A” is touching the hose “B” as
shown. Pull on the hose to check that it is securely inserted.
 Perform final tightening of nuts and bolts for the links (rubber bushing) under unladen condition (unladen condition means that the fuel tank, engine coolant and l ubricants are at the full specification, and the spare
tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions) with the tires on level ground.
 Check the wheel alignment. Refer to RSU-6, "Wheel AlignmentInspection"
