2. When disconnecting vacuum hoses, use tags to identify where they should be reconnected.

3. After completing any hose related repairs, double check that the vacuum hoses are properly

connected. The label under the hood shows the proper layout.

4. When using a vacuum gauge, never force the hose onto a connector that is too large. If a hose

has been stretched, it may leak air. Use a step-down adapter if necessary.

T' Reading of torque wrench {N*m (kgf*cm, ft.*lbf)}
T Torque {N*m (kgf*cm, ft.*lbf)}
L1 Length of SST or extension tool {cm, (in.)}
L2 Length of torque wrench {cm (in.)}

NOTE:

If an extension tool or SST is combined with a torque wrench
and the wrench is used to tighten to a torque specification in
this article, the actual torque will be excessive and parts will be
damaged.

CAUTION:



Failure to carry out service procedures in the correct
sequence could cause SRS parts to unexpectedly deploy
and possibly lead to serious injuries. Furthermore, if a
mistake is made when servicing SRS parts, they may fail to
operate when required. Before performing servicing
(including installation/removal, inspection and
replacement of parts), be sure to read the following
precautions.



Before starting work, wait at least 90 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned OFF and after the cable of the
negative (-) battery terminal is disconnected. (SRS parts
