SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Before replacing a component related to the electrical system
and before undertaking any repair procedures involving the
electrical system, be sure to first disconnect the negative
( - ) cable from the battery in order to avoid damage caused
by short-circuiting.
Caution
Before connecting or disconnecting the negative ( - ) cable,
be sure to turn off the ignition switch and the lighting
switch.
(If this is not done, there is the possibility of
semiconductor parts being damaged.)
APPLICATION OF ANTI-CORROSION AGENTS
AND UNDERCOATS
If oil or grease gets onto the oxygen sensor, it will cause
a drop in the performance of the sensor.
Cover the oxygen sensor with a protective cover when applying
anti-corrosion agents and undercoats.
PRE-INSPECTION CONDITION

IN ORDER TO PREVENT VEHICLES FROM FIRE
“Improper installation of electrical or fuel related parts could cause a fire. In order to retain the high
quality and safety of the vehicle, it is important that any accessories that may be fitted or modifications/repairs
that may be carried out which involve the electrical or fuel systems, MUST be carried out in accordance
with MMC’s information/Instructions”.
ENGINE OILS
Health Warning
Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful
contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Adequate means of skin protection and washing facilities
must be provided.
Recommended Precautions
The most effective precaution is to adapt working practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by using enclosed systems for handling used engine
oil and by degreasing components, where practicable, before handling them.
Other precautions:
DAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
DWear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
DAvoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
DDo not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls without pockets will avoid this.
DDo not wear heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated foot-wear. Overalls must be cleaned regularly
and kept separately from personal clothing.
DWhere there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles
or face shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
DObtain First Aid treatment immediately for open cuts and wounds.
DWash regularly with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed, especially before meals (skin cleansers
and nail brushes will help). After cleaning, the application of preparations containing lanolin to replace
the natural skin oils is advised.
DDo not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
DUse barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin
after work.
DIf skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.

GENERAL -Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)00-21
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
To improve safety, the SRS and seat belts with
pre-tensioner. These systems enhance collision
safety by restraining the front passengers in case
of an accident. The SRS works with the
pre-tensioner simultaneously when a collision is
detected.
The SRS consists of two air bag modules, SRS
air bag control unit (SRS-ECU), SRS warning lamp
and clock spring. The air bags are located in the
center of the steering wheel, above the glove box.
Each air bag has a folded air bag and an inflator
unit. The SRS-ECU under the floor console monitors
the system and has a safing G-sensor and an
analog G-sensor. The warning lamp on theinstrument panel indicates the operational status
of the SRS. The clock spring is installed in the
steering column. The seat belt pre-tensioner is built
into the front seat belt retractor. Only authorized
service personnel should do work on or around
the SRS components and seat belt with
pre-tensioner. Those service personnel should read
this manual carefully before starting any such work.
Extreme care must be used when servicing the
SRS to avoid injury to the service personnel (by
inadvertent deployment of the air bags or
inadvertent operation of the seat belt with
pre-tensioner) or the driver (by rendering the SRS
or the seat belt with pre-tensioner inoperative).

GENERAL -Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)00-22
SRS SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
1. In order to avoid injury to yourself or others
from accidental deployment of the air bag and
accidental operation of the seat belt with
pre-tensioner during servicing, read and
carefully follow all the precautions and
procedures described in this manual.
2. Do not use any electrical test equipment on
or near SRS components, except those
specified on P.52B-6.
3. Never Attempt to Repair the Following
Components:
DSRS air bag control unit (SRS-ECU)
DClock spring
DDriver’s and front passenger’s air bag
modules
DSeat belt with pre-tensionerNOTE
If any of these components are diagnosed as
faulty, they should only be replaced, in
accordance with the INDIVIDUAL COM-
PONENTS SERVICE procedures in this
manual. (Refer to P.52B-49.)
4. After disconnecting the negative (–) battery cable,
wait 60 seconds at least before any service and
insulate the disconnected cable with tape. The SRS
retain enough voltage to deploy the air bags for a
short time even after the disconnection of the battery.
So, serious injury may result by accidental air bag
deployment if a work is done on the SRS just after
the disconnection of the battery.
5. Do not attempt to repair the wiring harness connectors
of the SRS. If the connector(s) are diagnosed as defective,
replace the wiring harness(es). If the harness(es) are
diagnosed as faulty, replace or repair the wiring
harness(es) according to the table that follows.

GENERAL -Support Locations for Lifting and Jacking00-26
PLATE TYPE LIFT
To avoid damaging the side sill garnish, put a wooden block between the side sill and a lift.
NOTE
The wooden block should be 100 mm wide and 50 mm high.
SUPPORT POSITIONS AND SUPPORT METHOD
FOR AN H-BAR LIFT
Caution
When service procedures require removing the rear
suspension, fuel tank, spare tyre and rear bumper, place
additional weight on rear end of vehicle or anchor vehicle
to hoist to prevent tipping of centre of gravity changes.
When H-bar lift is used to lift up vehicles, use of metallic
attachment attached to the H-bar lift may cause damage
to the suspension arm etc. Therefore, lift up the vehicle by
the following procedure.
1. Place the vehicle on the H-bar lift (same direction).
2. Place attachments on the H-bar lift at the designated
chassis-support positions. When making the attachments,
refer to the section concerning making them.
Caution
If support is at any location other than the designated
positions, the body or suspension might be deformed
or otherwise damaged, so care should be taken to
support only at the correct (designated) positions.
3. Raise the H-bar lift to the height at which the vehicle
is slightly raised and check to be sure that the vehicle
is correctly and sufficiently secured; then raise the vehicle.
