General Precautions
+Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time with-
out proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any in¯ammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any
in¯ammable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refriger-
ant gas, etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be
sure to properly ventilate the area before working with hazard-
ous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
+Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After
jacking up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety
stands at the points designated for proper lifting before work-
ing on the vehicle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
+When removing a heavy component such as the engine or
transaxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and
drop it. Also, do not allow it to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
+Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
+To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
+Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.

DETECTABLE LINES AND NON-DETECTABLE LINES
In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires,
with different weight are used.
+A line with regular weight (wider line) represents a ``detectable
line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)''. A ``detectable line for
DTC'' is a circuit in which ECM (Engine Control Module) can
detect its malfunctions with the on board diagnostic system.
+A line with less weight (thinner line) represents a ``non-detect-
able line for DTC''. A ``non-detectable line for DTC'' is a circuit
in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on board
diagnostic system.
