Precaution for Brake System INFOID:0000000004305887
• Refill using recommended brake fluid. Refer to MA-14 .
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted surfac e of body. If brake fluid is splashed on painted surfaces
of body immediately wipe it off with cloth and then wash it away with water.
• To clean or wash all parts of master cylinder, disc brake caliper and wheel cylinder, use new brake fluid.
• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
• Use a flare nut wrench when removing a brake tube and use a flare nut torque wrench when installing a brake tube.
• When installing brake tubes and hoses, be sure to check torque.
• Before working, turn igniti on switch OFF and disconnect connec-
tors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or the battery
cable from the negative terminal.
• Burnish the new braking surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing p ads or linings, or if a soft pedal
occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-32, " Brake Burnishing
Procedure " .

General Precaution INFOID:0000000004307347
• Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or ot her enclosed area, be sure to prop-
erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
• Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire blocks to the wheels to prevent t he vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
• When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
• Before starting repairs which do not require battery power: Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
• If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
• To prevent serious burns: Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
• Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.
• Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
• Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly. SGI231
