Technician Safety Information
WARNING: This vehicle has a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. Refer to the SIR Component and Wiring Location view In order to determine whether you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring. When you are performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring. Failure to follow the CAUTIONS could cause air bag deployment, personal injury, or otherwise unneeded SIR system repairs.CAUTION:
- Certain components in the Antilock Brake System (ABS) are not intended to be serviced individually. Attempting to remove or disconnect certain system components may result in personal injury and/or improper system operation. To help avoid personal injury due to poor braking, DO NOT tap into the vehicle's brake hydraulic system to operate a trailer brake system. If any brake component is repaired or replaced such that air is allowed to enter the brake system, the entire bleeding procedure MUST be followed. Unapproved or partial bleed procedures can allow air to remain in the brake system. This could result in reduced braking performance and possible personal injury.
- Brake fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the following actions:
- For eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
- For skin contact, wash with soap and water.
- If ingested, consult a physician immediately.
- Overfilling the reservoir must be avoided due to the potential for overflow onto the nearby catalytic converters in the exhaust system. Brake fluid is flammable, and contact with hot exhaust components could result in a fire and possible personal injury.
