Vehicle Overview
Warning: When storing an undeployed inflator module, make
sure the airbag opening point away from the surface on which
the inflator module rests. Do not point the airbag opening to the
ground. Do not place any items onto the airbag module.
Provide free space for the airbag to expand in case of an
accidental deployment.
Do not have the undeployed airbag module soaked in water or
come into contact with other liquids.
Do not place the undeployed airbag module near the fire source
or a high-temperature area. Prevent personal injury caused by
accidental airbag deployment.
Airbag Collision Sensor Handling Warning
Warning: Do not hit or shake airbag system collision sensors.
Before supply power to the collision sensors, ensure the
collision sensors firmly tightened. Failure to follow the correct
procedures may cause airbag accidental deployment or
inoperative, resulting in personal injury.
Adding Fluid to the Brake System Notice
Notice: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder
reservoir, use DOT-4 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake
fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the
recommended type of brake fluid may cause contamination
which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/
or rubber linings of hydraulic brake system components.
Anti-Corrosion Materials Notice
Notice: If the power steering system has been serviced, an
accurate fluid level reading cannot be obtained unless air is
bled from the steering system. The air in the fluid may cause
pump cavitation noise and may cause pump damage over a
period of time.
Belt Dressing Notice
Notice: Do not use belt dressing on the drive belt. Belt dressing
causes the breakdown of the composition of the drive belt.
Failure to follow this recommendation will damage the drive
belt.
Brake Caliper Notice
Notice: Support the caliper with a piece of wire to prevent
damage to the brake line.
Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical
Components Notice
Notice: Avoid spilling brake fluid onto painted surfaces,
electrical connections, wiring, or cables. Brake fluid will
Warnings and Notices
damage painted surfaces and cause corrosion to electrical
components. If any brake fluid comes in contact with painted
surfaces, immediately flush the area with water. If any brake
fluid comes in contact with electrical connections, wiring, or
cables, use a clean shop cloth to wipe away the fluid.
Damage to Fuel Tank Straps Notice
Notice: Do not bend the fuel tank straps. Bending the fuel tank
straps may damage the straps.
Engine Emissions Notice
Notice: Modifications made to the engine or exhaust system
can effect the vehicle's emission controls and may cause the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine Lamp to
illuminate.

Notice: Replacement tires that do not meet the same Tire
Performance Criteria (TPC) of the original tire can also affect
the vehicle's emission controls. This may also cause the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine lamp to
illuminate.
Notice: Modifications to these systems or the installation of
incorrect the TPC tire could lead to repairs that are covered by
the manufacturer's warranty. This may also cause a required
Emission Inspection/Maintenance test to fail.
Engine Lifting Notice
Notice: When raising or supporting the engine for any reason,
do not use a jack under the oil pan, any sheet metal, or the
crankshaft pulley. Lifting the engine in an unapproved manner
may cause component damage.
Engine Mounting Notice
Notice: Broken engine mountings can cause misalignment of
certain drive-train components. Misalignment of drive-train
components causes eventual destruction of the drive-train
components.
Notice: If one engine mount breaks, the rest of the engine
mounts will have increased stress put on them. This could
cause the rest of the engine mounts to break.
