- Important Safety Notice
Proper service methods and repair procedures are essential for safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles as well as
personal safety of the operator. The service procedures and descriptions in this shop manual provide general directions
for a service and repair.

advice or caution as to each case in this manual.
Accordingly, anyone who intends to use a replacement part, service procedure, or tool, which is not recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer, must first assure thoroughly that neither their personal safety nor the safe operation of the vehicle
will be first jeopardized by the replacement part, service procedure, or tool they select.

The following list contains some general WARNINGS that you should follow while working on a vehicle.
• Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
• Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the vehicle.
• Make sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by the procedure.
• Set the parking brake when working on the vehicle. If you have an automatic transaxle, set in park unless instructed
otherwise for a specific operation.
• Place supporters against the front and rear surfaces of the tires to help prevent the vehicle from moving.
• Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Keep yourself and your clothing away from moving parts when the engine is running, especially the drive belts.
• To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail pipe, catalytic
converter and muffler.
• Do not smoke while working on a vehicle.
• To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry, and loose clothing before beginning to work on
a vehicle.
• When it is necessary to work under the hood, keep hands and other objects clear of the radiator fan blades! Your
vehicle may be equipped with a cooling fan that may turn on, even though the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
For this reason care should be taken to ensure that the radiator fan electric motor is completely disconnected when
working under the hood and the engine is not running.

Battery Caution Label

Warning / Caution Label (Cont''d)
A.
Keep lighted cigarettes and all other flames or sparks away from the battery.
B.
Wear eye protection when charging or working near a battery. Always provide ventilation when working in an enclosed
space.
• When lifting a plastic-cased battery, excessive pressure on acid to leak resulting in personal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on opposite corners.
• Never attempt to change the battery when the battery cables are connected.
• The electrical ignition system works with high voltage.
Never touch these components with the engine running or the ignition switched on.
C.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly corrosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow
battery acid to contact your skin, eyes, clothing or paint finish.
D.
If any electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention. If possible, continue to apply water with a sponge or cloth until medical attention is received.
If electrolyte gets on your skin, throughly wash the contacted area. If you feel a pain or a burning sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
E.
Always read the following instructions carefully when handing a battery.
F.
Hydrogen, which is a highly combustible gas, is always presents in battery cells and may explode if ignited.
G.
An improperly disposed battery can be harmful to the environment and human health.

Always confirm local regulations for battery disposal.
Handling And Storage The Battery
Battery Itself • Batteries should be stored in cool, dry (27°C / 80.6°F) places and out of direct
sunlight.
• MF batteries are tightly sealed to prevent acid leakage.
However, tilting the battery to an angle of 45 degrees can cause acid to leak
through the vents on the sides. Therefore, batteries should always be stored in
their upright positions. Prevent placing any aqueous or solid (i.e. conductors)
bodies on top of the battery.
• It is extremely dangerous to use tools, such as hammers, on the battery terminals
when connecting cables to the mounted battery.
Battery on Vehicle • When storing the vehicle for long periods of time, make sure to remove the
memory fuse at junction box to prevent natural discharging.
• Also, run the engine for battery charging within 1 month if the memory fuse
wasn''t removed from the start of vehicle storing.
If the memory fuse was removed, run the engine for battery charging within 3
months from the start of vehicle storing.
After reconnecting or recharging a discharged battery, the ESP OFF indicator may illuminate.
In this case, turn the handle half way to the left and right whilst the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Then, restart the engine after the ignition is OFF.
The ESP OFF indicator may turn OFF.
If the ESP OFF indicator does not turn OFF, have the system checked. (Refer to the DTC guide)

- Lift And Support Points
When heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire, tailgate and trunk lid are to be removed,
place additional weight in the luggage area before hoisting. When substantial weight is removed from the rear of the
vehicle, the center of gravity may change and can cause the vehicle to tip forward on the hoist.
• Since each tire/wheel assembly weights approximately 30lbs (14kg), placing the front wheels in the luggage area
can assist with the weight distribution.
• Use the same support points to support the vehicle on safety stands.
1. Place the lift blocks under the support points as shown in the illustration.
2. Raise the hoist a few inches (centimeters) and rock the vehicle to be sure it is firmly supported.
3. Raise the hoist to full height to inspect the lift points for secure support.
