Precaution for Work

- When removing or disassembling each component, be careful not to damage or deform it. If a component may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
- When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
- Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and keep them.
- Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
- If a part is specified as a non-reusable part, always replace it with new one.
- Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
- After re-installation is completed, be sure to check that each part works normally.
- Follow the steps below to clean components.
- Water soluble foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the fouled area.
Then rub with a soft and dry cloth.
- Oily foul: Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%), and wipe the fouled area.
Then dip a cloth into fresh water, and wring the water out of the cloth to wipe the detergent off. Then rub with a soft and dry cloth.
- Never use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol, and gasoline.
- For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather cleaner.
- When checking SRS air bag and seat belt pre-tensioner circuits or the components of each system, never use an electric tester such as a circuit tester. (This is to prevent accidental triggering caused by the weak electric of a tester.)
- Never solder the harness of side air bag for repairs. Make sure that harness is not pinched and there is no contact with other components.
- Never insert foreign materials, such as a screwdriver, into air bag module connector. (This is to prevent accidental activation caused by static electricity.)
- Place air bag module as a unit with side air bag deployment surface facing upward (stud bolts facing downward). (This is to prevent accidental deployment.)
- Never disassemble and check inflator. side air bag module must never be disassembled.
