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 lmp 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 brakes are 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.
    • Do not abruptly depress/release clutch pedal or accelerator pedal during works even when the engine is operating at low speeds since this may cause vehicle to jump off free rollers.
    • In order to prevent the vehicle from slipping due to vibration, do not place any wooden blocks or similar items between the rigid racks and vehicle.
    • Since the rear wheels will also rotate, do not place anything near them. Also, make sure that nobody goes in front of the vehicle.
