REMODELING THE EXHAUST EMISSION SYSTEM
CAUTION
• The DPF (muffler) and exhaust tubes have the exhaust emis-
sion control function. Remodeling of the exhaust emission sys-
tem is prohibited.
Remodeling of the exhaust emission system may not only
affect the exhaust emission control function but also cause a
trouble of the devices. Do not remodel the exhaust emission
system.
HANDLING OF DPF
• The DPF is equipped with the exhaust pressure pipes and exhaust
gas temperature sensor.
• Harness are connected to the sensor. When installing or arranging the
attachments on the body installation, exercise due care to the harness.
• Damage to those components may result in a failure of the exhaust
emission control devices.
PRECAUTION WHEN PAINTING AROUND DPF
• The DPF unit, exhaust pipes, sensors connected to the DPF (including
the pressure sensor installed inside the frame), sensor harness or
tubes shall not be painted. Before painting, apply masking to those
parts to prevent paint from adhering to them.
• If paint adheres to the DPF unit or exhaust pipes, burning of paint may
be caused by heat, leading to emission of smoke or abnormal smell. As
a result, the performance of the system may be seriously damaged.
Also, if paint gets into the sensor or other parts, a trouble may occur.
Carefully apply masking to the connector portions, especially.
