Preparation For The Inspection Mode

  1. Check that the battery voltage is 12 V or more and fuel remains approx. half [20 - 40 L (5.3 - 10.6 US gal, 4.4 - 8.8 Imp gal)].
  2. Lift up the vehicle using a garage jack and place it on rigid racks, or drive the vehicle onto free rollers.
WARNING:
  • Before lifting up the vehicle, ensure parking brake is applied.
  • Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a rigid rack.
  • Secure a rope or wire to the front or rear towing hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front wheels.
  • Before rotating the wheels, make sure that there is no one in front of the vehicle. Besides while the wheels are rotating, make sure that no one approaches the vehicle front side.
  • Make sure that there is nothing around the wheels. For AWD model, pay attention to all four wheels.
  • While servicing, do not depress or release the clutch pedal or accelerator pedal quickly regardless of the engine speed. Quick operation may cause the vehicle to drop off the free roller.
  • To prevent the vehicle from slipping due to vibration, do not place anything between rigid rack and the vehicle.
