Restraints and Safety Systems

CAUTION: Brake fluid may irritate eyes or skin. in case of contact take the following actions:
^ Eye Contact - Rinse thoroughly with water.
^ Skin Contact - Wash with soap and water.

CAUTION: Certain Components in the Antilock brake system 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. Only those components with approved removal and installation procedures should be serviced.

NOTE: When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they were removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for that application. If the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may be used. Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread locking compound will be called out. The correct torque value must be used when installing fasteners that require it. If the above conditions are not followed, parts or system damage could result.

NOTE: The use of rubber hoses or parts other than those specified for the antilock brake system may lead to functional problems requiring replacement. Replace all components included in the repair kits used to service this system. Lubricate rubber parts with clean, fresh brake fluid to ease assembly. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts as damage to rubber components may result. If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the brake system. The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.

NOTE: Avoid spilling brake fluid on any of the vehicle's painted surfaces, wiring, cables or electrical connectors. Brake fluid will damage paint and electrical connections. If any fluid is spilled on the vehicle, flush the area with water to lessen the damage.
