GENERAL - Towing and Hoisting

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSThe following precautions should be taken when towing the
vehicle.
1.DO NOT LIFT OR TOW THE VEHICLE BY ATTACHING TO
OR WRAPPING AROUND THE BUMPER.
2. Any loose or protruding parts of damaged vehicle such as
hoods, doors, fenders, trim, etc., should be secured prior to
moving the vehicle.
3.Operator should refrain from going under a vehicle while it
is lifted by the towing equipment, unless the vehicle is
adequately supported by safety stands.
4. Never allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicle.
5. State and local rules and regulations must be followed
when towing a vehicle.

Caution1. If only the front wheels or only the rear wheels are
lifted for towing, the bumper will be damaged.
In addition, lifting of the rear wheels causes the oil to
flow forward, and may result in heat damage to the
rear bushing of the transfer, and so should never be
done.
2.The vehicle must not be towed by placing only its frontwheels or only the rear wheels on a rolling dolly,
because to do so will result in deterioration of the
viscous coupling and result in the viscous coupling
causing the vehicle to jump forward suddenly.
3. If this vehicle is towed, use flat bed equipment.

POST TYPESpecial care should be taken when raising the vehicle on a
\frame contact type hoist. The hoist must be equipped with theL)proper adapters in order to support the vehicle at the proper
locations.
Caution
When service procedures require removing rear suspen-sion, fuel tank, spare tire and liftgate, place additional
weight on rear end of vehicle or anchor vehicle to hoist toprevent tipping of center of gravity changes.
FLOOR JACKThe usual type of floor jack is used at the following locations.
Front: Under the mid point of No. 1 crossmember
NOTEOn vehicles with active-aero system, the front jacking point
can be accessed by removing the center cover panel from
the under cover. Be sure to reinstall the center cover panel
after jack-up operation.
Rear:
Under the jack up bracket of crossmember
Under the rear differential
Caution1. When lifting the No. 1 crossmember, do not allow jack
lifting plate to contact under cover.
2. In order to prevent scarring the crossmember, place a
piece of cloth on the jack’s contact surface (to prevent‘corrosion caused by damage to the coating).
d3. A floor jack must never be used on any part of the
underbody.
4.Do not attempt to raise one entire side of the vehicle by
placing a jack midway between front and rear wheels.This practice may result in permanent damage to the
body.

FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS1. Place the front wheels on the brake tester.
2. Perform the brake test.
CautionThe rear wheels should remain on the ground.
3.If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value, jack
up the vehicle and manually rotate each wheel to check the
rotation condition of each wheel.
NOTEIf the brake dragging force exceeds the specified value, the
cause may be the effect of the viscous coupling’s dragging
force, so jack up the front wheels and check the rotation
condition of the wheels in this state for no effect by the
viscous coupling’s dragging force.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTSAfter placing the rear wheels on the brake tester, follow the
same procedures as for the front wheel measurements.
WHEEL BALANCE
FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS‘d
1. Jack up the rear wheels, and place an axle stand at the
designated part of the side sill.
2. Jack up the front wheels and set a pick-up stand and
balancing machine in place.
Caution
1.Set so that the front and rear of the vehicle are at
the same height.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Rotate each wheel manually and check to be sure
that there is no dragging.
3. Use the engine to drive the tires, and then make the
measurements.
Caution
1.If an error is indicated in the state of engine drive,
motor drive can be used concurrently.
2. Do not operate the clutch suddenly, or increase or
reduce speed suddenly during the work.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTS1. Jack up the front wheels, and place an axle stand at the
designated part of the side sill.
2. Jack up the rear wheels, and then, after setting a pick-up
stand and balancing machine in place; follow the same
procedure as for front wheel measurements.

brake test should always be conducted after the speedometer
test.
