PRECAUTIONS FOR ENGINE OILSNBGI0001S05Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause
skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
as soon as possible.
Health Protection PrecautionsNBGI0001S0501IAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly
used engine oils.
IWear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where
practicable.
IDo not put oily rags in pockets.
IAvoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
IHeavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should
not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regularly.
IFirst Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
IUse barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to
help the removal of oil from the skin.
IWash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations containing
lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
IDo not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or
solvents for cleaning skin.
IIf skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
IWhere practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
IWhere there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be
worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addi-
tion an eye wash facility should be provided.
Environmental Protection PrecautionsNBGI0001S0502Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be
recommended only for units of approved design. The heating sys-
tem must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pollution for
small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt check with the
appropriate local authority and/or manufacturer of the approved
appliance.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the
waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority
for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains,
or into water courses.
The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FUELNBGI0001S06Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI
(Anti-Knock Index) number (research octane number 91).
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will dam-
age the three way catalyst.
Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also
affect the warranty coverage validity.
PRECAUTIONS FOR AIR CONDITIONINGNBGI0001S07Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air condi-
tioning system must be discharged. Refer to HA-144, ªHFC-134a
(R-134a) Service Procedureº for specific instructions.
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions (Cont'd)
GI-8 
Page 1771 of 2395

Engine Compartment
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could
cause an electrical complaint. Some of the things to check for are:
IConnectors not fully seated.
IWiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to
engine vibrations or rocking.
IWires laying across brackets or moving components.
ILoose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
IWires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integ-
rity of ground connections. (Refer to GROUND INSPECTION
described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection bygently shakingthe wiring or
components as previously explained. Using the wiring diagrams
inspect the wiring for continuity.
Behind The Instrument Panel
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become
pinched during accessory installation. Vehicle vibration can aggra-
vate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a screw.
Under Seating Areas
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by
seat components (such as slide guides) during vehicle vibration. If
the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for pos-
sible damage or pinching.
SGI842
HEAT SENSITIVENBGI0004S0203The owner's problem may occur during hot weather or after car has
sat for a short time. In such cases you will want to check for a heat
sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the
component with a heat gun or equivalent.
Do not heat components above 60ÉC (140ÉF).If incident occurs
while heating the unit, either replace or properly insulate the com-
ponent.
SGI843
FREEZINGNBGI0004S0204The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car
warms up (winter time). The cause could be related to water freez-
ing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for
the owner to leave his car overnight. Make sure it will get cold
enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked out-
side overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis
of those electrical components which could be affected.
