16.HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR SILICON-CONTAINING SPRAY
When a silicone contained in the lubricant, rust inhibitor or glazing agent adheres to the electrical contact of
the relay or switch, nonconducting silica dioxide (SiO2) film will be formed, which may lead to poor continuity.
Therefore, the following precautions must be observed when using the silicon-containing spray.
• Never spray directly to the electrical equipment.
• When using the spray close to the electrical equipment, always put the cover on it. Be sure to put the cover
on the electrical equipment especially when using the spray to the locations shown in the figure below and
their surrounding areas.

PC-00079

(1) Audio, heater control switch (3) Combination switch (5) Power window switch
(2) Shift/select lever switch, parking (4) Stop light switch, brake switch,
switch clutch switch, clutch start switch

• If the residual silicon remains in the vicinity of the electrical equipment after the spray has been used, the
vaporized silicon stands around the electrical equipment and it may adhere to electrical contact. After using
the spray, be sure to wipe the silicon off with a cloth.
• Even when using the spray to the place away from the electrical equipment, the droplet of the spray may
be splashed to the periphery. Use as small amount of spray as possible, and take care not to splash the sil-
icon to the periphery.
NOTE:
The “silicon” used in this section refers to “silicone”, that is, silicon polymer.

3. SAFETY
• Before work, set the wheel stoppers to secure the vehicle.
• When performing work by multiple workers, call to each other to make sure that service operation is per-
formed safely.
• Before starting engine, ventilate the room.
• When performing the service operation of high-temperature parts like muffler, rotating parts like fan and
other movable parts, be careful not to get burned or injured.
• For the jack-up and lift up, set the tool to the proper location to support the vehicle correctly. And use the
safety device properly when lifting up.
4. SERVICE OPERATION
• By identifying the vehicle problems thoroughly before work, service operation will be performed effectively.
• Before removing parts, confirm the installation condition or the damage of the parts.
• To reinstall parts properly, leave a note of the condition before work as necessary.
• For a part which needs positioning, take appropriate action such as putting alignment marks.
• For a removed part, clean it as necessary and check for damage and defect before installation. If the part
is damaged or defective, replace it with a new part.
• Removing or installing the components or the connectors with the ignition switch ON will electrically impair
them.

5. REMOVED PART
• A removed part must be organized to avoid mixing up with similar parts. When same parts are used in mul-
tiple locations, such as pistons in engine, manage the parts by using labels with cylinder No. so that the parts
are not installed to the wrong location.
• Always replace nonreusable parts such as gasket and O-ring with new parts.
• After work, have a customer confirm the replaced part.
6. WHEN REMOVING BATTERY
• To prevent damaging the retainer & molding assembly, completely close the front door glass on driver's
and passenger's sides before removing the battery.
• When removing battery, power supply is cut off and the information stored in the computer memory is vol-
atilized. Therefore, setting information of some device is initialized to the factory default. The device and
