1. to follow when servicing SRS
(1) Be sure to read GROUP Supplemental Restraint System
For safe operations, please follow the directions a nd heed all
(2) Always use the designated special tools and tes t equipment.
(3) Wait at least 60 seconds after disconnecting the battery cable before” further work;
The SRS system is designed to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag even after the battery
has been disconnected. Serious injury may result from unintended air bag deployment if work
is done on the SRS system immediately after the bat tery cable is disconnected.
(4) Never attempt to disassemble or repair the SRS components (SRS-ECU air bag module and
clock spring). If faulty, replace it.
(5) Warning labels must be heeded when servicing or handling SRS components. Warning labels
are located in the following locations.
Sun visor
l Glove box
. S R S - E C U
l Steering wheel
l Air bag module
l Clock spring
l Steering gear and linkage clamp
(6) Store components removed from the SRS
a clean and dry place.
The air bag module should be stored on a flat surfa ce and placed so that the pad surface is’
facing upward.
Do not place anything on top of it.
(7) Be sure to deploy the air bag before disposing of the air bag’module or disposing of a vehicle
equipped with an air bag. (Refer to GROUP
Air Bag Module Disposal Procedures.)
(8) Whenever you finish servicing the
check the SRS warning light operation to make sure
that the system functions properly.
2.Observe the following when carrying out operations on places where SRS components are installed,’
.,
including operations not directly related to the SR S air bag.
(1) When removing or installing parts do not allow any impact or shock to the SRS components.
(2) SRS components should not be subjected to heat over so remove the SRS compo-
nents before drying or baking the vehicle after painting.
After re-installing them, check the SRS warning lig ht operation to make sure that the system
functions properly.
SERVICING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. Note the following before proceeding with work o n the
electrical system.
Note that the following must never be done:
Unauthorized modifications of any electrical device or
wiring, because such modifications might lead to a vehicle
malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that co uld result
in a fire in the vehicle.
2.When servicing the electrical system, disconnect th e nega-
tive cable terminal from the battery.

GENERAL Precautions before Service . .
Caution
1.Before connecting or disconnecting the negative
be sure to turn off the ignition and
the lighting switch.
(if this is not done, the possibility semi-
conductor parts being damaged.)
2.After completion of the work steps [when the bat-
tery’s negative terminal is connected], warm
up the engine and allow it for approximately
five minutes under the conditions be-
low, in order to stabilize the engine condi-
tions, and then check to be sure that idling’ is
satisfactory.

FRONT TOWING PICKUP
Caution
This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using sli ng
type equipment to prevent the bumper from deformati on.
if this vehicle is towed, use lift type, fiat bed type
or
type equipment.
The vehicle may be towed on its rear wheels for ext ended
distances provided the parking brake is released. It is recom-
mended that vehicles be towed using the front picku p whenev-
er possible.
REAR TOWING PICKUP
Caution
1. This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using
equipment to prevent the from ‘de-
formation.
if this vehicle is towed, use lift flat bed
type or doily type equipment.
2.Do not use steering lock to secure front
position for towing.
3. Make sure the transaxle is in Neutral if
will
be with drive
on the ground.. .
Automatic transaxle vehicle may be towed on the fro nt wheels
at speeds not to exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) for distan ces
not to exceed 30 km (18 miles).
C a u t i o n
if these limits cannot be met, the front
must be
placed on a tow doily or a fiat bet type must be us ed.

TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE, NOT, AVAILABLE .
When a locked vehicle must be towed and not
able, the vehicle may be lifted and towed from the front;
provided the parking brake is released. If not rele ased,. the
rear wheels should be placed on a tow dolly.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be towing the
vehicle.
1.DO NOT LIFT OR TOW THE BY ATTACHING
TO OR WRAPPING AROUND BUMPER.
2. Any loose or protruding
of vehicle such
as hoods, doors, fenders,
etc., should be secured
or removed prior to moving
vehicle.
3.Operator should refrain going under a vehicle while
it is lifted by the towing unless the vehicle
is adequately supported by safety stands.
4. Never allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicl e.
5. State and local rules and regulations must be fo llowed
when towing a vehicle.
Caution
1.If only the front wheels or only. the rear wheels a re
lifted for towing, the bumper will be damaged.
In addition, lifting of the rear wheels causes the oil
to flow forward, and may result in heat damage to
the rear bushing of the transfer, and should never
be done.
2.Do not tow the vehicle ‘with “only front or
only the rear wheels on a dolly, or the viscous
coupling will be damaged. In a
case, the vehicle
may jump forward suddenly.
3. If this vehicle is towed, use
bed dolly
type equipment.

Speedometer tests, brake tests and wheel balance me asure-
ment for full-time AWD vehicles should be carried o ut accord-
ing to the following procedures.
SPEEDOMETER TEST
Refer to GROUP 54 Combination Meter.
BRAKE TEST
In order to stabilize the viscous coupling‘s draggi ng force,
the brake test should always be conducted after the speedom-
eter test.
FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
Place the front wheels on’ the brake tester.
2. Perform the brake test.
Caution
The rear wheels should remain on the ground.
3.If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified
jack up the vehicle and each -to
check the rotation condition of each wheel.
NOTE
If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified
the cause may be the effect of the viscous
dragging force, so jack up the front and check
the rotation condition of the wheels in this state for no
effect by the viscous coupling‘s dragging force.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
After placing the rear wheels on the brake tester, follow the
same procedures as for the front wheel measurements .
