PRECAUTION

1. Precaution
A: CAUTION
Please clearly understand and adhere to the following general precautions. They must be strictly followed to
avoid minor or serious injury to the person doing the work or people in the area.
1. VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL (VDC)
Handle the VDC as a total system. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair parts which are not instructed in
this manual. Follow the directions in this manual when performing maintenance on the VDCCM&H/U. When
parts other than those specified are disassembled, it is possible that the VDC system will not operate when
needed or cause it to operate incorrectly and result in injury.
2. ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE
Handle the electronic parking brake as a total system. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair individual
parts. When parts are disassembled, it is possible that the electronic parking brake will not operate when
needed or cause it to operate incorrectly and result in injury.
3. BRAKE FLUID
If brake fluid gets in your eyes or on your skin, do the following:
• Wash eyes and seek immediate medical attention.

cardiagn.com
• Wash your skin with soap and then rinse thoroughly with water.
4. 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.
5. ROAD TEST
Always conduct road tests in accordance with traffic rules and regulations to avoid bodily injury and interrupt-
ing traffic.
6. AIRBAG
To prevent bodily injury from unexpected deployment of airbags and unnecessary maintenance, follow the
instructions in this manual when performing maintenance on the airbag components and nearby, around
front of the vehicle (radiator panel, front wheel apron, front side frame, front bumper, front hood panel, front
fender panel), around side of the vehicle (front door trim, front door panel, rear door panel, center pillar, rear
fender panel, side sill, rear wheel apron), around rear of the vehicle (rear seat cushion, rear floor pan, rear
sub frame assembly) and the airbag wiring harnesses and nearby.
To prevent unexpected deployment, turn the ignition switch to OFF and disconnect the ground cable from
battery, then wait at least 60 seconds to discharge backup power supply before starting work. Removing or
installing the components or the connectors with the ignition switch ON will electrically impair them.
7. AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DISPOSAL
To prevent bodily injury from unexpected airbag deployment, do not dispose the airbag modules or seat belt
pretensioner in the same way as other waste. Follow the special instructions for disposal in this manual. Fol-
low all government regulations concerning disposal of refuse.
8. AIRBAG MODULE
Adhere to the following when handing and storing the airbag module to prevent bodily injury from unexpected
deployment:
• Do not hold the harnesses or connectors to carry the 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.
9. AIRBAG SPECIAL TOOL

17.HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR SILICON-CONTAINING SPRAY
When a silicone contained in the lubricant, rust inhibitor or glazing agent adheres to the electrical contact of
the relay or switch, nonconducting silica dioxide (SiO2) film will be formed, which may lead to poor continuity.
Therefore, the following precautions must be observed when using the silicon-containing spray.

cardiagn.com
• Never spray directly to the electrical equipment.
• When using the spray close to the electrical equipment, always put the cover on it. Be sure to put the cover
on the electrical equipment especially when using the spray to the locations shown in the figure below and
their surrounding areas.

(1) Audio, heater control switch (3) Combination switch, steering (5) Power window switch
switch
(2) Shift/select lever switch, parking (4) Stop light switch, brake light switch,
switch clutch switch, clutch start switch

• If the residual silicon remains in the vicinity of the electrical equipment after the spray has been used, the
vaporized silicon stands around the electrical equipment and it may adhere to electrical contact. After using
the spray, be sure to wipe the silicon off with a cloth.
• Even when using the spray to the place away from the electrical equipment, the droplet of the spray may
be splashed to the periphery. Use as small amount of spray as possible, and take care not to splash the sil-
icon to the periphery.
NOTE:
The “silicon” used in this section refers to “silicone”, that is, silicon polymer.

A: RECOMMENDED MATERIALS
1. GENERAL
To insure the best performance, always use the specified oil, gasoline, adhesive, sealant, etc. or a substitute
of equivalent quality.
2. FUEL
• Use unleaded gasoline to reduce air pollution, because using leaded gasoline will damage the catalytic
converter.
• Do not use the low quality gasoline, or improper fuel such as diesel fuel, fuel alcohol, or gasoline additive
because they will adversely affect on engine components and fuel system components.
• Always use gasoline that is equivalent to that prescribed in the owner’s manual or that of high octane val-
ue. There is the possibility of damaging or improper operation of the engine and fuel injection system if the
specifications are not observed. Use the prescribed gasoline type to maintain proper vehicle performance.
