WARNING
•
Fuel is highly flammable and should be
kept away from hot objects and open
flames owing to the risk of fire or explo-
sion. Wipe up any spilt fuel.
•
After installing the fuel filter, confirm that
no fuel is leaking out. Leaking fuel could
cause a fire or explosion.
•
Use only the fuel filter specified for your
vehicle. Use of other filters could cause
fuel to leak and cause a fire or explosion.
•
When replacing the fuel filter element, be
sure to use the special tool to remove and
reinstall the fuel filter. If the fuel filter is
tightened to an inappropriate torque when
reinstalled, fuel could leak and the filter
itself could become damaged, possibly
resulting in a fire and/or explosion. If you
do not have the special tool, please con-
tact an authorized dealer.
•
Be careful not to damage the filter case, as
this could cause fuel leakage.
•
Keep cigarettes and other sources of heat
away from the vehicle while replacing the
fuel filter. They are dangerous because
they could set fire to the fuel.
•
When replacing the fuel filter, you will be
working in a tight space. Be careful not to
injure yourself on the edges of nearby
components.
CAUTION
•
Fuel filter element must not be cleaned and
reused.
•
Always replace with a new, genuine fuel filter
element. Do not use the filter element
beyond the recommended replacement inter-
vals. Failure to observe these may damage
the fuel injection parts.
