INTRODUCTION: REPAIR INSTRUCTION: PRECAUTION (Continued)

5. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF ENGINE INTAKE PARTS

(a) If any metal particles enter intake system parts, this may damage the engine.





(b) When removing and installing intake system parts, cover the openings of the removed parts and engine openings. Use adhesive tape or other suitable materials.

(c) When installing intake system parts, check that no metal particles have entered the engine or installed parts.

6. HANDLING OF HOSE CLAMPS





(a) Before removing a hose, check the clamp position so that it can be reinstalled in the same position.

(b) Replace any deformed or dented clamps with new ones.

(c) When reusing a hose, attach the clamp on the clamp track portion of the hose.

(d) For a spring type clamp, it may be necessary to spread the tabs slightly after installation by pushing in the direction of the arrows as shown in the illustration.

7. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS





(a) Install the antenna as far away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle electronic systems as possible.

(b) Install an antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle electronic systems. For details about the ECU and sensor locations, refer to the section on the applicable components.

(c) Keep the antenna and feeder separate from other wiring as much as possible. This will prevent signals sent from the communication equipment from affecting vehicle equipment and vice-versa.

(d) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.

(e) Do not install high-powered mobile communication system.

8. HEADLIGHT INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE

(a) When the headlight dimmer switch assembly is set to HEAD, do not touch the discharge headlight's high-voltage socket area.

NOTICE:
When performing inspection or maintenance, the discharge headlight precautions must be followed.

(b) When the headlights are illuminated, do not cover the headlights for 3 minutes or more.





NOTICE:
As the headlight's outer lens is made of resin, the resulting heat created when covering the headlight for an extended period of time may deform the headlight.
