Preparation For The Inspection Mode

Make sure that the fuel remains approx. half amount [20-40 liters (5.3-10.6 US gal, 4.4-8.8 Imp gal)] and battery voltage is 12 V or more.

Raise vehicle using a garage jack and place on rigid racks or drive vehicle onto free rollers.

WARNING:
  • Before raising the vehicle, ensure the parking brake is applied.
  • Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a rigid rack.
  • Secure a rope or wire to the front and rear towing or tie-down hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front wheels.
  • Do not abruptly depress/release the clutch pedal or accelerator pedal during works even when 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 the 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.
