Example: 1. Before starting work, apply protective tape to body surfaces around parts to be removed and installed. 2. Before prying parts loose with a screwdriver or scraper etc., apply protective tape to the tip of the tool to avoid scratching parts or painted surfaces of the body. Battery In order to prevent a short circuit while doing work on the electrical circuit such as disconnecting a connector, first turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the negative (–) terminal cable from the battery before starting work. HINT: When battery voltage is required for operation of a functioning part, connect the cable to the battery when needed, and promptly disconnect it when no longer necessary. CAUTION: • Work must be started after 90 seconds from the time the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" position and the negative (–) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. • To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system, never use a back–up power supply from outside the vehicle. Fitting Adjustments When removing and installing body panels which have a preload value, after installation refer to the page containing the installation adjustment methods, and make adjustments according to the required specifications. HINT: When making adjustments, do not completely loosen the bolts and nuts of the part being adjusted. Tighten them appropriately, and move the panels by hand to align them.
