1-4 Warnings and Notices
Battery Disconnect Warning
Warning: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start
switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical
loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component.
Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical
spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an
exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions
may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or
its components.
Warning: If repair an airbag, the battery negative cable must
be disconnected at least 90s before carry out operations.
Brake Dust Warning
Warning: Avoid taking the following actions when you service
wheel brake parts:
–
Do not grind brake linings.
– Do not sand brake linings.
– Do not clean wheel brake parts with a dry brush or with
compressed air.
Warning: Some models or aftermarket brake parts may contain
fibers which can become airborne in dust. Breathing dust with
fibers may cause serious bodily harm. Use a water-dampened
cloth in order to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment is
available commercially in order to perform this washing
function. These wet methods prevent fibers from becoming
airborne.
Brake Fluid Warning
Warning: Do not use fluid from an open container that may be
contaminated with water. Incorrect or contaminated fluid could
result in system failure, loss of vehicle control and personal
injury.
Brake Fluid Irritant Warning
Warning: Brake fluid may be irritating to the skin or eyes. In
case of contact, take the following actions:
– Eye contact--rinse eyes thoroughly with water.
–
Skin contact--wash skin with soap and water.
Brake Pipe Replacement Warning
Warning: Carefully route and retain replacement brake pipes.
Always use the correct fasteners and in the original location for
replacement brake pipes. Failure to properly route and retain
brake pipes may cause damage to the brake pipes and brake
system resulting in personal injury.

Breathing R-134a Warning
Warning: Avoid breathing the A/C Refrigerant 134a (R-134a)
and the lubricant vapor or the mist. Exposure may irritate the
eyes, nose, and throat. Work in a well ventilated area. In order
to remove R-134a from the A/C system, use service equipment
that is certified to meet the requirements of SAEJ2210 (R-134a
recycling equipment). If an accidental system discharge
occurs, ventilate the work area before continuing service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from
the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.
Clutch Dust Warning
Warning: When servicing clutch parts, do not create dust by
grinding or sanding the clutch disc or by cleaning parts with a
dry brush or with compressed air. A water-dampened cloth--
NOT SOAKED--should be used. The clutch disc may contain
fibers which can become airborne if dust is created during
servicing. Breathing dust with fibers may cause serious bodily
harm.
Collision Sectioning Warning
Warning: Sectioning should be performed only in the
recommended areas. Failure to do so may compromise the
structural integrity of the vehicle and cause personal injury if
the vehicle is in a collision.
Cracked Window Warning
Warning: If a window is cracked but still intact, crisscross the
window with masking tape in order to reduce the risk of damage
or personal injury.
Exhaust Service Warning
Warning: In order to avoid being burned, do not service the
exhaust system while it is still hot. Service the system when it
is cool.
Express Window Down Warning
Warning: Disconnect the power window switch when working
inside the driver door. When operated, the Express Up/Down
Feature allows the door window to move very quickly, without
stopping, which could cause personal injury.
Eye Protection Warning
Warning: Approved safety glasses and gloves should be worn
when performing this procedure to reduce the chance of
personal injury.
