WARNING:
SDM

During service procedures, be very careful when handling
a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). Never strike or
jar the SDM.
Never power up the air bag system when the SDM is not
rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and mounting
bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued and the arrow
must be pointing toward the front of the vehicle to ensure
proper operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered while not rigid-
ly attached to the vehicle which could cause deployment
and result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners

For handling and storage of a live seat belt pretensioner,
select a place where the ambient temperature below 65
C
(150
F), without high humidity and away from electric
noise.

Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire or connector of
pretensioner. When placing a live seat belt pretensioner
on the workbench or some place like that, be sure not to
lay it with its exhaust hole provided side facing down. It is
also prohibited to put something on its face with an ex-
haust hole or to put a seat belt pretensioner on top of
another. Otherwise, personal injury may result.

Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt pretensioners
(driver and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be sure
to activate them according to activation procedures de-
scribed in SECTION 10B before disposal.

The seat belt pretensioner immediately after activation is
very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it off before
proceeding the work.

With many service procedures, gloves and safety glasses
should be worn to prevent any possible irritation of the
skin or eyes.

VEHICLE LIFTING POINTS
WARNING

When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up the
vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by trying to
move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.

Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into consider-
ation. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending of what part to be removed.

Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.

Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.

0A-20 GENERAL INFORMATION
In raising front or rear vehicle end off the floor by jacking, be sure
to put the jack against the center portion of the front suspension
frame or rear axle housing.
WARNING:

Never apply jack against suspension parts (i.e., stabilizer,
etc.) or vehicle floor, or it may get deformed.

If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front or rear end,
be sure to block the wheels on ground in order to ensure
safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on the
vehicle raised on jack alone.
To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end jacked up,
be sure to place safety stands under chassis frame so that body is
securely supported. And then check to ensure that chassis frame
does not slide on safety stands and the vehicle is held stable for
safety's sake.
