HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING SYSTEM
Care must be taken when replacing parts. Incorrect replacement may affect the performance of the steering system and result in a driving hazard.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause the SRS to unexpectedly deploy during servicing. This may cause a serious accident. Before servicing (including inspection, replacement, removal, and installation of parts), be sure to read the precautionary notices for Supplemental Restraint System.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING COLUMN
Do not release the tilt lever when the steering column assembly is not installed on the vehicle.
HANDLING PRECAUTION FOR SPIRAL CABLE
Do not remove/install the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly with the auxiliary battery connected and the ignition switch ON.
Do not rotate the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly without the steering wheel assembly installed, with the auxiliary battery connected and the ignition switch ON.
Ensure that the steering wheel assembly is installed and aligned straight when inspecting the steering sensor.
Be sure that the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly is in the center position during installation and when removing and installing the steering wheel assembly.
If the steering wheel assembly is turned without the spiral cable with sensor sub-assembly installed in the center position, the cable may break.
