IN ORDER TO PREVENT VEHICLES FROM FIRE

“Improper installation of electrical or fuel related parts could
cause a fire. In order to retain the high quality and safety
of the vehicle, it is important that any accessories that may
be fitted or modifications/repairs that may be carried out which
involve the electrical or fuel systems, MUST be carried out
in accordance with MMC’s information/Instructions”.

ENGINE OILS
Health Warning

Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result
in the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness,
irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains
potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
Adequate means of skin protection and washing facilities must
be provided.

Recommended Precautions

The most effective precaution is to adapt working practices
which prevent, as far as practicable, the risk of skin contact
with mineral oils, for example by using enclosed systems for
handling used engine oil and by degreasing components,
where practicable, before handling them.

Precautions Before Service

00-20

Other precautions:

Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly
used engine oils.
Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves
where practicable.
Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with
oil.
Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls without
pockets will avoid this.
Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated
foot-wear. Overalls must be cleaned regularly and kept
separately from personal clothing.
Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should
be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields;
in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.
Obtain First Aid treatment immediately for open cuts and
wounds.
Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all oil is
removed, especially before meals (skin cleansers and nail
brushes will help). After cleaning, the application of
preparations containing lanolin to replace the natural skin
oils is advised.
Do not use petrol, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners
or solvents for cleaning skin.
Use barrier creams, applying them before each work
period, to help the removal of oil from the skin after work.
If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without
delay.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

00-21

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)

To improve safety, the SRS is available as optional
parts. This system enhances collision safety by
restraining the front occupants in case of an
accident.
The SRS consists of four air bag modules, SRS
air bag control unit (SRS-ECU), front impact sensor,
side impact sensors, seat belt pre-tensioner, SRS
warning lamp and clock spring. The air bags are
located in the centre of the steering wheel, above
the glove box, and built into the front seat back
assemblies. Each air bag has a folded air bag and
an inflator unit. The SRS-ECU under the floor
console monitors the system and has a safing
G-sensor and an analog G-sensor. The front impact
sensor are installed on the front side mrmber. The
side impact sensors inside the quater panel inner

or the quarter panels, inner monitor any shocks
coming from the side of the vehicle. The warning
lamp on the instrument panel indicates the
operational status of the SRS. The clock spring
is installed in the steering column.
The SRS side air bags deploy if an impact received
at the side of the vehicle is stronger than a certain
set value, in order to protect the front seat occupant’s
torso in the event of a collision. Only authorized
service personnel should do work on or around the
SRS components. Those service personnel should
read this manual carefully before starting any such
work. Extreme care must be used when servicing
the SRS to avoid injury to the service personnel
(by inadvertent deployment of the air bags) or the
driver (by rendering the SRS inoperative).

SRS SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

In order to avoid injury to yourself or others
from accidental deployment of the air bag during
servicing, read and carefully follow all the
precautions and procedures described in this
manual.

Do not use any electrical test equipment on
or near SRS components, except those
specified on GROUP 52B.

Never Attempt to Repair the Following
Components:

SRS air bag control unit (SRS-ECU)
Clock spring
Driver’s and front passenger’s air bag
modules
Side air bag modules
Side impact sensors

NOTE
If any of these components are diagnosed as
faulty, they should only be replaced, in
accordance with the INDIVIDUAL COM-
PONENTS SERVICE procedures in this
manual. (Refer to GROUP 52B.)

After disconnecting the negative (–) battery cable, wait
60 seconds at least before any service and insulate
the disconnected cable with tape. The SRS retain
enough voltage to deploy the air bags for a short time
even after the disconnection of the battery. So, serious
injury may result by accidental air bag deployment
if a work is done on the SRS just after the disconnection
of the battery.
