RECOMMENDED PRECAUTIONS
The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practicable, the
MB991910 risk of skin contact with mineral oils, for example by
using enclosed systems for handling used engine oil
and by degreasing components, where practicable,
before handling them.
Other precautions:
 Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils,
particularly used engine oils.
MB991824  Wear protective clothing, including impervious
gloves where practicable.
 Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly under-
pants, with oil.
 Do not put oily rags in pockets, the use of overalls
without pockets will avoid this.
 Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and

skin after work.
 If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice

2. WRAP FILM
M6010400100241

AC305606

Vehicles may be shipped from the assembly plant to


the distributors with a white plastic film or coating
(wrap film) applied for the purpose of protecting the
painted exterior from environmental elements where
the assembly plant and point of embarkation is
located.
Distributors are required to remove the wrap film
immediately after receiving vehicles, which is neces-
sary for PDI operations. Please refer to the following
chart for the procedures.

REMOVAL PROCEDURE

Flow Chart of Wrap Film Removal

Wrap film removal Peel off from the corners of the wrap film. High temperature or
low temperature may cause wrap film to become brittle. For
easier removal, the recommended Wrap Film temperature is
below 40˚C. (i.e.: If the surface of the vehicle is hot, lower it to
40˚C or less by sprinkling water so the peeling off will be
easier.)

Rinse off debris such as sand and dust thoroughly. Then dry
Water washing the surface thoroughly.

If adhesive residue is left on the painted surface, wipe it off


with kerosene or white gasoline. If the residue is still visible,
Cleaning of border use a polishing compound for a fine finish. If you use such
solvents or compound, make sure to wipe it off.

Dispose removed film according to local


regulations. ACB04862 AB

The procedures to re-apply the wrap film

ACB04328

If there is an environment that the vehicles in stock


may be exposed to elements such as acid rain, dust
particles, it may be recommendable to re-apply the
wrap film for the purpose of protecting the painted
exterior from the environment. Please refer to the fol-
lowing chart for the procedures to re-apply the wrap
film.

Steps. Process Tips


1 Remove old wrap film Follow the "flow chart of removing the wrap film"
2 Prepare the surface to adhere the wrap Make sure there is no debris such as sand or dust. Dry
film the surface thoroughly. The temperature of the area to
apply the wrap film should be below 40C for workability.
3 Re-apply the wrap film The area to re-apply the wrap film is the same area
where the original wrap film was applied.
1. Begin adhering the wrap film from the low part of the
vehicle and move upward. Maintain some tension on
the wrap film so it will not get wrinkled or trap air
bubbles. Although air bubbles it self will not damage
the paint, you can avoid trapping air by adhering the
wrap film from the centre to the out side of the
vehicle. Use a tool such as a squeezer to adhere the
wrap film firmly to the vehicle.
2. For moving panels such as the hood and trunk lid, or
portion where parts such as windshield washer
nozzles are pointing out, cut the wrap film
accordingly, so it will adhere to the paint surface
firmly.
3. If the top side of the film (the side without the
adhesive) is left to contact the painted surface, it may
damage the paint surface. (for example, become
lusterless). The edges of the wrap film and
overlapping portions should be firmly adhered to
prevent entry of rain under the wrap film.
4. To prevent colour difference to be recognised
between the areas wrapped and unwrapped due to
exposure to sunlight etc. during storage, we
recommend the boundary of wrapped and
unwrapped areas be on a vertical location.

Steps. Process Tips


CAUTION
 Be careful not to damage the paint surface while cutting the wrap film.
 Once the wrap film is adhered to the vehicle, it should remain on the vehicle for no more than 6
months. If it is necessary, a new wrap film should be adhered to the vehicle following the steps
above, based on your inventory management schedule.

Vehicles may be shipped from the assembly plant to
the distributors with a plastic film or cover (non-adhe-

in five months after the vehicle is delivered to the dis-

CHECK FLUID LEVEL IN BRAKE CAUTION


RESERVOIR AND CLUTCH RESERVOIR If the reservoir tank completely runs out of fluid
M6020203000541 during operation, air will find way into the brake
<BRAKE> line. Pay attention, therefore, to the fluid level
and replenish as necessary.
2. Loosen the bleeder screw and depress the brake
pedal; supply new brake fluid when the level of
the fluid within the reservoir tank decreases.
Specified brake fluid: DOT3 or DOT4
CAUTION
Use the specified brake fluid. Avoid using a mix-
ACE01990 AB ture of the specified brake fluid and other fluid. If
brake fluid is exposed to the air, it will absorb
<CLUTCH> moisture; as water is absorbed from the atmos-
phere, the boiling point of the brake fluid will
decrease and the braking performance will be
seriously impaired. For this reason use a hermet-
ically sealed 1 L or 0.5 L brake fluid container.
Firmly close the cap of the brake fluid container
after use.
3. When fresh fluid has come to flow out from the
vinyl tube, tighten the bleeder screw.
