General Description
C: CAUTION
• Reconnect the connectors and hoses securely.
After reconnecting, confirm that each function operates normally.
• Be careful that wiring harnesses of airbag system pass near electrical parts and switches.
• Wiring harnesses and connectors of all airbag system are yellow color. Do not use a tester on these circuits.
• Care must be taken when installing the piping hose so that no bending, jamming, etc. are caused.
• If even a little oil or grease such as silicon oil gets in the tank and washer passages, an oil film easily forms on the glass, causing the wiper to chatter and judder. Therefore, be careful not to let this happen.
