LIFTING AND TOWING

LIFTING AND TOWING
LIFTING
The following instructions must be carried out before
raising the vehicle off the ground.
lUse a solid level ground surface.
lApply hand brake.
lSelect 'P' (Automatic gearbox) or 1st gear
(Manual gearbox) in main gearbox.
lSelect Low range in transfer gearbox.
To avoid damage occurring to the under body
components of the vehicle the following jacking
procedures must be adhered to.
DO NOT POSITION JACKS OR AXLE STANDS
UNDER THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS:
lBody structure
lBumpers
lFuel lines
lBrake lines
lFront radius arms
lPanhard rod
lSteering linkage
lRear trailing arms
lFuel tank
lEngine sump
lGearbox bell housing
Vehicle jack
The jack provided with the vehicle is only intended for
use in an emergency, for changing a tyre. DO NOT
use the jack for any other purpose. Refer to Owner's
Handbook for vehicle jack location points and
procedure. Never work under a vehicle supported
solely by the vehicle jack.
Hydraulic jack
A hydraulic jack with a minimum 1500 kg, 3,300 lbs
load capacity must be used. Do not commence
work on the underside of the vehicle until
suitable axle stands have been positioned under
the axle.
WARNING: Always chock the wheels when
jacking. The hand brake acts on the
transmission, not the rear wheels, and may be
ineffective when the wheels are off the ground.Raising and supporting the vehicle
Position cup of hydraulic arm under differential
casing (1).The differential casing is not central to
the axle. Care should be taken when raising the
front road wheels off the ground as the rear axle
has less sway stiffness.
Raise vehicle to enable an axle stand to be installed
under left hand axle tube (2).
Position an axle stand under right hand axle tube (4).
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on both
axle stands, remove jack.
Alternatively, the axle stands can be positioned
under the chassis longitudinals at the front and/or
rear of the vehicle.
Before commencing work on underside of vehicle re-
check security of vehicle on stands.
WARNING: Always chock the wheels when
jacking. The hand brake acts on the the
transmission, not the rear wheels, and may be
ineffective when the wheels are off the ground.

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-2
Reverse procedure when removing vehicle from
stands.
Hydraulic ramps
Use only a 'drive on' type ramp which supports a
vehicle by it's own road wheels. If a 'wheel free'
condition is required, use a 'drive on' ramp
incorporating a 'wheel free' system that supports
under axle casings. Alternatively, place vehicle on a
firm, flat floor and support on axle stands.
TOWING
Towing
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The
following towing instructions must be adhered
to:
Towing on 4 wheels with driver
Turn ignition key to position '1' to release steering
lock.
Select neutral in main gearbox and transfer gearbox.
Secure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
Release the handbrake.
The brake servo and power assisted steering
system will not be functional without the engine
running. Greater pedal pressure will be required
to apply the brakes, the steering system will
require greater effort to turn the front road
wheels. The vehicle tow connection should be
used only in normal road conditions, 'snatch'
recovery should be avoided.Suspended tow
To prevent vehicle damage, front or rear
propeller shaft MUST BE removed, dependent
upon which axle is being trailed.
Mark propeller shaft drive flanges at transfer box and
axles with identification lines to enable the propeller
shaft to be refitted in its original position.
Remove the propeller shaft fixings, remove the shaft
from the vehicle.
If the front axle is to be trailed turn ignition key to
position '1' to release steering lock.
The steering wheel and/or linkage must be
secured in a straight ahead position. DO NOT use
the steering lock mechanism for this purpose.
Towing eyes
The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle
are designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and
must NOT be used to tow a trailer or caravan.
Front:A single towing eye, set behind a removable
panel in the front spoiler. DO NOT use the front
lashing rings for towing.

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-3
Rear: A pair of towing eyes at the rear of the vehicle
can be used as lashing rings and for towing another
light vehicle.
TRANSPORTING
Transporting by trailer
Front lashing eyes
Rear lashing eyes
Lashing eyes are provided on the chassis
longitudinals, at the front (behind the front wheels)
and at the rear (behind the rear wheels).

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-4
DO NOT secure lashing hooks or trailer fixings to
any other part of the vehicle.
Position the vehicle on the trailer and apply the
handbrake. Select neutral in the manual gearbox ('N'
on automatic gearbox). Selecting 'N' will prevent
damage to the parking pawl in the automatic
gearbox.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX - ZF4HP22 - 24
44-18 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
With time, the components in a gearbox wear and the duration of the gear shifts tends to increase, which has an
adverse effect on the brake clutches. To counteract this, the EAT ECU applies a pressure adaptation to each shift.
To calculate the adaptations, the EAT ECU monitors the pressure modulation used, and time taken, for each shift. If
a subsequent shift of the same type, in terms of throttle position and engine speed, has a longer duration, the EAT
ECU stores an adaptation for that type of shift in a volatile memory. The adaptation is then included in future pressure
calculations for that type of shift, to restore shift duration to the nominal.
Kickdown
The EAT ECU monitors the input of the throttle position sensor to determine when kickdown is required. When it
detects a kickdown situation, the EAT ECU immediately initiates a down shift provided the target gear will not cause
the engine speed limit to be exceeded.
Torque converter lock-up
The EAT ECU energises the lock-up solenoid valve to engage the lock-up clutch. Lock-up clutch operation is
dependent on throttle position, engine speed, operating mode and the range selected on the transfer box.
High range
Unique lock-up maps, similar to the shift maps, are incorporated in the economy and sport modes for all forward gears.
Engagement and disengagement of the lock-up clutch is dependent on throttle position and engine speed.
Low range
To enhance off road control, particularly when manoeuvring at low speeds, torque converter lock-up does not occur
when there is any degree of throttle opening. When the throttle is closed above a preset engine speed, the lock-up
clutch engages to provide maximum engine braking.
Increased load/reduced torque compensation
To aid performance and driveability in the high range economy mode, the EAT ECU has three adaptive shift and lock-
up maps. These maps delay upshifts and torque converter lock-up similar to the sport mode if the inputs from the
engine indicate:
lA sustained high load on the engine, such as occurs when the vehicle is ascending a steep gradient or towing a
trailer.
lA lower than normal engine torque, such as occurs at altitude or high ambient temperatures.
The EAT ECU monitors the engine inputs and selects the most appropriate adaptive map for the prevailing conditions.
Diagnostics
While the ignition is on, the EAT ECU diagnoses the system for faults. The extent of the diagnostic capability at any
particular time depends on the prevailing operating conditions, e.g. it is not possible to check torque converter lock-
up while the vehicle is stationary, or to check for a short circuit to earth if the circuit concerned is already at a low
potential.
If a fault is detected, the EAT ECU immediately stores a fault code and the values of three operating parameters
associated with the fault. Depending on the fault, there are four possible effects:
lThe fault has little effect on gearbox operation or vehicle emissions. The driver will probably not notice any
change and the warning lamps remain extinguished.
lThe fault has little effect on gearbox operation but may effect vehicle emissions. On NAS vehicles, if the fault is
detected on a second consecutive drive cycle, the MIL illuminates.
lAll gears are available but kickdown does not function. The sport and manual warning lamps flash. The MIL
remains extinguished.
lLimp home mode is selected and vehicle performance is greatly reduced. The sport and manual warning lamps
flash. In all markets, if the fault is detected on a second consecutive drive cycle, the MIL illuminates.
