0A-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
 Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as it is covered with a yellow protection tube. Be very
careful when handling it.
 When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire harness, connector or terminal is found,
replace wire harness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
 Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
 Never use air bag system component parts from another vehicle.
 When using electric welding, be sure to temporarily disable air bag system referring to “DISABLING
AIR BAG SYSTEM” in Section 10B.
 Never expose air bag system component parts directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after
painting) or flames.
 WARNING/CAUTION labels are attached on each part of air bag system components. Be sure to fol-
low the instructions.
 After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK” in SECTION
10B.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The WARNING and CAUTION below describe some general precautions that you should observe when servic-
ing a vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the service procedures described in this manual, and
they will not necessarily be repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
WARNING:
 Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be sure to follow the instructions under “VEHICLE LIFTING
POINTS” in this section.
 When it is necessary to do service work with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake
is set fully and the transmission is in Neutral (for manual transmission vehicles) or Park (for auto-
matic transmission vehicles), Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the fan and belts
when the engine is running.
 When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is forced outdoors.
 Do not perform service work in areas where combustible materials can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system. When working with toxic or flammable materials (such as gasoline and refriger-
ant), make sure that the area you work in is well-ventilated.
 To avoid getting burned, keep away from hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail
pipe, muffler, etc.
 New and used engine oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or
used oil. Keep new and used oil and used engine oil filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to cause [skin] cancer in laboratory ani-
mals. Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure to used engine oil,
wear a long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dish washing gloves) when changing
engine oil. If engine oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any
clothing or rags if wet with oil, recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters.
 Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpect-
edly during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.

ENGINE MECHANICAL (M13 ENGINE) 6A1-51
Check cylinder head for cracks on intake and exhaust ports,
combustion chambers, and head surface.
Using a straightedge and thickness gauge, check flatness of
gasketed surface at a total of 2 locations. If distortion limit,
given below, is exceeded, correct gasketed surface with a
surface plate and abrasive paper of about #400 (Waterproof
silicon carbide abrasive paper): place abrasive paper on and
over surface plate, and rub gasketed surface against paper
to grind off high spots. Should this fail to reduce thickness
gauge readings to within limit, replace cylinder head.
Leakage of combustion gases from this gasketed joint is
often due to warped gasketed surface: such leakage results
in reduced power output.
Limit of distortion for cylinder head surface on piston side
: 0.03 mm (0.001 in.)
Distortion of manifold seating faces:
Check seating faces of cylinder head for manifolds, using a
straightedge and thickness gauge, in order to determine
whether these faces should be corrected or cylinder head
replaced.
Limit of distortion for cylinder head surface on intake and
exhaust manifold
: 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
