Technician Safety Information
CAUTION:^ This vehicle has a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) System. Failure to follow the CAUTIONS could cause air bag deployment, personal Injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs.
^ When servicing brake parts, do not create dust by grinding or sanding brake linings, by cleaning brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air. Many earlier models or after-market brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can- become airborne if dust is created during servicing. Breathing dust containing asbestos fibers may cause serious bodily harm. A water dampened cloth or water based solution should be used to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment is commercially available to perform this washing function. These wet methods will prevent fibers from becoming airborne.
^ Brake fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the following actions:
^ Eye contact - rinse thoroughly with water.
^ Skin contact - wash with soap and water.
