PRECAUTIONS FOR STEERING SYSTEM HANDLING
1. Be careful when replacing parts. Incorrect replacement could affect the performance of the steering system and result in hazardous driving.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM HANDLING
1. This vehicle is equipped with an Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) which includes parts such as airbags for the driver and front passenger. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause unexpected SRS deployment during servicing and may cause a serious accident. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read the precaution for the SRS. Refer to PRECAUTION [10/2013 - ] .

  NOTE:
  - The CANL bus wire and CANH bus wire must be installed together at all times.
  - When installing, make sure that these wires are twisted, because CAN bus wires are likely to be influenced by electrical noise if the bus wires are not twisted.
  - The difference in length between the CANL bus wire and CANH bus wire should be 100 mm (3.937 in.) or less.
  - Leave approximately 80 mm (3.150 in.) loose in the twisted wires around the connector.
2. Do not use bypass wiring between connectors.
