EXTERIOR TRIM PARTS Replace exterior trim parts fastened with glue or adhesive tape, unless specified differently in the procedure. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION > ABOUT THIS SERVICE INFORMATION > MECHANICAL PROCEDURES Illustrations in this service information may be used instead of written step instructions. Color-coding (see color scheme illustration) is used to communicate the required step action or actions. Service action icons may be used to add information regarding the required action. For additional information, refer to: Symbols Glossary . Illustration Color-coding

Item Part Number Description 1 - Blue - Target or primary component to be removed/installed (or disassembled/assembled). 2 - Green - Components that need to be removed prior to or installed after the target/primary. 3 - Brown - Components that need to be removed prior to or installed after the target/primary. 4 - Yellow - Components to be set aside for access, but not removed.

Other color coding Alternating Blue and White Chemical, adhesive or sealer apply areas Red Sectioned or cut-away areas Grey Background components shown for location information ILLUSTRATION TASK SEQUENCE Components that must be removed or installed in a specific sequence are identified with a numbered callout. Any associated step text is numbered accordingly. Simple procedure example showing color-coding and task sequence.

Black arrows are used to draw attention to components (usually fasteners). Arrows with multiples specified (here, x2) identify an identical number of fasteners or items. Callouts (numbers inside circles) show a required sequence or tightening torque. In the illustration, the callouts indicate the removal sequence, which is reversed for installation . The yellow coloring of the hose indicates it is to be positioned aside (not removed). Two identical (magenta- colored) fasteners are indicated by the x2 arrow. The fasteners in this illustration require different torques (same torque for the x2 fasteners) so numbered callouts are used to identify them with torque values in the associated step text. The (magenta-colored) hose clamp is another fastener to be removed. Examples of fastener removal sequence and an identical service action for 12 fasteners. Other possible symbols are shown on the right. Example of fastener sequence information with two persons required for the service action

HIDDEN DETAILS Separate detail boxes or transparent components may be used to show hidden items in an illustration. Example of hidden fastener information SERVICE ACTION ICONS Service action icons may be used to add information regarding the required action. For additional information, refer to: Symbols Glossary . Location symbols show the location of a component or system on the vehicle.

Example of service action icons pointing to highlighted components. Movement arrows and service action icons show three dimensional or rotational movements. Color-coding and service action icons show application of sealer, lubricant, weight, tape or cleaning liquid. Measurement symbols provide the information required to perform a specific measurement. These symbols may include specific values.
