: When electric arc welding on a vehicle, always disconnect the generator
wiring to prevent the possibility of a surge of current causing damage to
the internal components of the generator.
|
: It is essential that a period of 2 minutes elapses after the battery
is disconnected before any work is undertaken on any part of the SRS
system. |
: A discharged battery condition may have been caused by an electrical
short circuit. If this condition exists there will be an apparently live
circuit on the vehicle even when all normal circuits are switched off.
This can cause arcing when the jumper cables are connected.
|
: While it is not recommended that a vehicle is jump started, it is
recognized that this may occasionally be the only practical way to
mobilize a vehicle. Reference should be made to the following and also to
the Electrical Section of this manual - Jump Starting.
|
: It is advisable not to use starter/charger sets for jump starting but if
this is unavoidable, make sure that the sets are not used in the 'START'
mode. |
: Boost charging may only be carried out with the battery disconnected
from the vehicle. |
: When towing is necessary, reference must be made to the Jacking, Lifting
and Towing Section of this Manual. When the vehicle is being towed the
ignition switch must be in position II (steering lock released and warning
lights illuminated). Only then will the steering, turn signal lamps, horn
and stop lamps be operational. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury. It must be noted that with the engine not
running, the power steering and brake booster will be inoperative
therefore, greater effort will be needed to steer the vehicle and apply
the brakes. |
: Suitable eye protection must be worn.
|
: DO NOT use metal scrapers or emery cloth as these may damage the sealing
surfaces. |
: Always remove all traces of the old sealant prior to reassembly. Use
plastic scrapers, specified solvents where available or dry, lint free
cloth. DO NOT use metal scrapers or emery cloth as these may damage the
sealing surfaces. Make sure that sealing surfaces are free from oil or
grease as sealants will not adhere properly to contaminated surfaces.
|
| During certain repair operations, it may be necessary to remove traces of thread locking agents using a tap. Where this is necessary, the instruction to do so will appear in the relevant operation and it is essential that a tap of the correct size and thread is used. |
: DO NOT use a wire brush; take care that threads are not damaged.

: Do Not re-use self-locking fasteners in critical locations e.g. drive
plates/flywheel or engine bearings. Do not install non self-locking
fasteners where a self-locking fastener is specified.
|

: Service tools have been developed for installing the majority of
bearings; these must always be used where specified.
|
: When a waxed oil seal (installed dry) type of oil seal is to be
installed, take great care that grease does not contaminate the running
surface of the seal. |
: Do not intermix brake fluid of different specifications.
|
: Suitable eye protection must be worn.
|
: If pipes are found to be chafed, rectify clips, mounting points etc., to
prevent further problems in service.
|
: Never attempt to repair fuel hoses or rectify leaking 'quick-fit'
connectors. The fuel hose and connectors must be replaced as an assembly.
|
_files\LoadAsset(5).jpg)
: The following precautions must be observed to make sure that the
integrity of the cooling system hoses and their connection to the system
is maintained. |

: The following precautions must be observed as failure to comply may
result in exposure to ultra-violet rays, severe electric shock, burns or
risk of an explosion. |
: Do not disassemble or reassemble fuel system components whilst vehicle
is over a pit. |
: No one should be permitted to repair components associated with fuel
without first having specialist training.
|
: Never drain fuel or work on a fuel system while the vehicle is over a
pit. Extraction or draining of fuel must be carried out in a well
ventilated area. |
: Never switch on or operate mobile (cellular) phones in the vicinity of
vehicles when operations are being carried out on the fuel system.
|
: Always attach fuel vapor warning labels to fuel tanks immediately after
draining. |
: Containers used for storing fuel must be clearly marked with the
contents and placed in a safe storage area which meets the requirements of
the local authority. |
: Some fuel lines are now installed with 'quick release' connectors. If a
connector is damaged, no attempt must be made to repair the connector, a
new fuel line and connector(s) assembly must be installed.
|
: No attempt should be made to repair a plastic fuel tank. If the
structure of the tank is damaged, a new tank must be installed.

: Do not install rear facing child seats in the front passenger seat.
|
: The following precautions MUST be adhered to when working on the SRS
system: |
: Do not expose airbag modules or seat belt pre-tensioners to temperatures
exceeding 85° C (185° F). |
| The SRS uses energy reserve capacitors to keep the system active in the event of electrical supply failure under crash conditions. It is necessary to allow the capacitors sufficient time to discharge (2 minutes) in order to avoid the risk of accidental deployment. |
: The integrity of the SRS systems is critical for safety reasons. Make
sure the following precautions are always adhered to:
|
: Take care not to trap airbag modules when installing interior trim
components. |
: Make sure SRS components are not contaminated by oil or grease.
|
| Following seat belt pre-tensioner deployment, the seat belts can still be used as conventional seat belts but will need to be replaced as soon as possible to make sure full SRS protection. |
| If the SRS components are to be replaced, the part number/bar code of the new unit must be recorded. |
: Never use a multimeter or other general purpose equipment on SRS
components. Use only T4 to diagnose system faults.
|
_files\LoadAsset(11).jpg)
: Do not use electrical test equipment on the SRS harness while it is
connected to any of the SRS components, it may cause accidental deployment
and injury. |
_files\LoadAsset(12).jpg)
_files\LoadAsset(13).jpg)
: When handling any SRS component, hold by the gas generator housing, DO
NOT hold by the airbag. Do not wrap the thumb around the gas generator
while holding. Do not drape airbag over shoulder or around neck. For seat
buckle type pre-tensioners, hold by the piston tube, with the open end of
the piston tube pointing towards the ground and the buckle facing away
from your body. Do not cover the end of the piston tube. DO NOT hold
buckle type pre-tensioners by the bracket assembly or cable. Never point
the piston tube towards your body or other people.
|
: Airbag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners are classed as explosive
devices. For overnight and longer term storage, they must be stored in a
secure steel cabinet which has been approved as suitable for the purpose
and has been registered with the local authority.
|
: Store airbag modules or seat belt pre-tensioners in a designated storage
area. If there is no designated storage area available, store in the
locked luggage compartment of the vehicle and inform the workshop
supervisor. |
: Improper handling or storage can internally damage the airbag module
making it inoperative. If you suspect the airbag module has been damaged,
install a new module and refer to the deployment/disposal procedures for
disposal of the damaged module. |

| SRS wiring can be identified by a special yellow outer sleeve protecting the wires (black with yellow stripe protective coverings are sometimes used). |
_files\LoadAsset(15).jpg)
: Always make sure SRS wiring is routed correctly. Be careful to avoid
trapping or pinching the SRS wiring. |
_files\LoadAsset(16).jpg)
: Do not leave the connectors hanging loose or allow SRS components to
hang from their harnesses. Look for possible chafing points.
|
: Take extra care when painting or carrying out bodywork repairs in the
vicinity of the crash sensors. Avoid direct exposure of the crash sensors
or link harnesses to heat guns, welding or spraying equipment. Take care
not to damage sensor or harness when reinstalling components.
|
: Always follow the procedure for installing and checking the clock spring
as instructed in the SRS repairs section. Comply with all safety and
installation procedures to make sure the system functions correctly.
Observe the following precautions:
|
: During deployment parts of the airbag module become hot enough to burn
you. Wait 30 minutes after deployment before touching the airbag module.
|
: The Restraints Control Module (RCM) will log a crash fault after every
impact which is severe enough to cause airbag deployment. It is
possible to have three crashes/impacts logged after one event where, for
example, a front, side and rollover has occurred. After the third fault is
logged, the SRS warning lamp will be illuminated and the restraints
control module (RCM) must be replaced. |
: The SRS side/front impact sensor(s) must be replaced if there are any
signs of physical damage or if the restraints control module (RCM) is
registering a fault. |
: If the front airbags are deployed, the following components must be
replaced: |
: If the side curtain air bags are deployed, the following components must
be replaced on the side of the vehicle on which the deployment occurred:
|
: If the head airbag modules are deployed, the following components must
be replaced on the side of the vehicle on which the deployment occurred:
|
: If the seat belt pre-tensioners are deployed during a rear impact, the
following components must be replaced:
|
: Servicing must only be carried out by personnel familiar with both the
vehicle system and the charging and testing equipment. All operations must
be carried out in a well ventilated area away from open flame and heat
sources. |
: R134a is a hazardous liquid and when handled incorrectly can cause
serious injury. Suitable protective clothing, consisting of face
protection, heat proof gloves, rubber boots and rubber apron or waterproof
overalls, must be worn when carrying out operations on the A/C system.
|
: Due to its low evaporating temperature, R134a must be handled with care.
R134a splashed on any part of the body will cause immediate freezing of
that area. Also, refrigerant cylinders and replenishment trolleys when
discharging will freeze skin to them if contact is made.
|
: Refrigerant oil (ND-8 PAG) easily absorbs water and must not be stored
for long periods. Do not pour unused refrigerant oil back into the
container. Always use an approved refrigerant oil.
|
: A new compressor should always be sealed and could be pressurised with
nitrogen gas. To avoid possible oil loss, release the sealing cap(s)
slowly. Do not remove the cap(s) until immediately prior to connecting the
pipes to the compressor. |
: Refrigerant must always be recycled before re-use to make sure that the
purity of the refrigerant is high enough for safe use in the system.
Recycling should always be carried out with equipment which is design
certified by Underwriter Laboratory Inc. for compliance with SAE J1991.
Other equipment may not recycle refrigerant to the required level of
purity. |
: A R134a Refrigerant Recovery Recycling Recharging Station must not be
used with any other type of refrigerant. Refrigerant R134a from domestic
and commercial sources must not be used in motor vehicle systems.
|
: The system must be evacuated immediately before recharging commences.
Delay between evacuation and recharging is not permitted.
