INFORMATION
1 . General Precautions
A : BEFORE STARTING SERVICE
1) Be sure to perform the jobs listed in
the Periodic
Maintenance Schedule .
2)
When a vehicle is brought in for maintenance, care-
fully listen to the owner's explanations of the symptoms
exhibited by the vehicle . List the problems in your
notebook, and refer to them when trying to diagnose
the trouble .
3) All jewelry should be removed . Suitable work
clothes should be worn .
4) Be sure to wear goggles .
5) Use fender, floor and seat covers to prevent the
vehicle
from being scratched
or
damaged
.
6) Never smoke while working .
7) Before removing underfloor bolts (including the rear
differential filler plug) coated with bituminous wax,
remove old wax . Re-coat with newwax after reinstalla-
tion .
8)
When
removing rear body or suspension
parts,
place balance weights, etc . in the trunk compartment,
taking into account the weight distribution on the front
and rear of the car ; then lift the vehicle up .
9) Before tightening suspension parts, lower the vehi-
cle to the ground and ensure that
the
car is curb weight
(with the spare tire, jack, and service tools set in position
and with a full fuel tank) .
WHILE WORKING
1) When jacking up the vehicle, be sure to use safety
stands .
2) When jacking up the front or rear end
of the car
body, be
sure
to
choke the
tires
remaining in contact
with the ground .
3) Keep the parking brake applied when working on the
vehicle . Set the shift lever to REVERSE, when the
parking brake
cannot be
applied,
such as when the
brakes are being worked on .
4) Keep the ignition key turned "OFF" if at all possible .
5) Be cautious while working when the ignition key is
"ON" ; if the engine is hot, the cooling fan may start to
operate .
6) While the engine is in operation, properly
ventilate
the workshop .
7) While the engine is in operation, be aware of any
moving parts, such as the cooling fan and the drive belt .
8)
Keep your hands off any metal parts such as the
radiator, exhaust
manifold, exhaust pipe, and muffler, to
prevent burning yourself .
9) When servicing the electrical system
or the fuel
system, disconnect the ground cable from
the battery .
10) When disassembling, arrange the parts
in the order
that they were disassembled .
11) When removing a wiring connector,
do not pull the
wire but pull the connector itself .
12) When removing
a hose or tube, remove the clip
first . Then, pull the hose or tube
while holding its end
fitting .
13) Replace gaskets,
O-rings, snap rings, lock washers,
etc . with new ones .
14) When
tightening a bolt or nut, tighten it to the
specified torque .
15) When performing work requiring special
tools, be
sure to use the designated ones .
16) After completing
work, make certain that the hoses,
tubes and wiring harnesses are securely
connected .
17)
After completing work, be sure to wash the vehicle .

1-3 [0200] GENERAL INFORMATION
2 . Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (Airbag)
The
Supplemental Restraint System (Airbag) has been
implemented in all Subaru SVX models . For proper and
safe maintenance of this system, please ensure that you
carefully read the precautionary
notes
given in "5-5
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM" in the Service
Manual before servicing .
It should also be noted that in the SM table of contents,
an AIRBAG mark is added
to each of the
items which
do not
directly concern the airbag system but need to
be considered in their relationship to it . So, during the
service work for such items, make sure you refer to "5-5
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM" .
a . Take utmost
care to follow faithfully the service
procedures specified for the airbag, since otherwise it
might deploy unexpectedly .
b . With the airbag system,
failures such as faulty
connection of harness connectors or neglect of tight-
ening sensor mounting bolts can lead to failure of
deployment in an accident .
Recheck each check point after maintenance work and
use the on-board self-diagnosis to ensure there is
nothing wrong with the system .
c . All
wire harnesses of the airbag system are encased
in a yellow cover to make them distinct fromthose of
other systems .
The following are the parts involved in the airbag
installation :
1)
Steering wheel
2) Steering column
3) Toe-board (center, left Et right ends)
4) Front seat floor and side
seal
5) Inside left and right front fenders
6) Front pillar (left, lower)
7) Combination meter
Care should be taken
when servicing in areas where the
above parts are installed since it can affect the airbag
system .
Examples of service work involving the airbag sys-
tem :
1) Replacement of steering gear
2)
Steering
maintenance and repair
of the area adjoin-
ing toe-board
3) Removal and installation of combination meter
4) Installation of car stereo and other optional extras
5) Sheet metal repair paint workon the body front
