Initial Inspection - External Controls

Because fault diagnosis starts as soon as the vehicle is taken in for repair we recommend the following procedure:
1. Check that the customer concern is clearly understood. As necessary reproduce the concern on the vehicle.
2. If the concern is not clearly understood carry out a road test and/or perform visual checks using the following table.

WARNING: Danger of accident. Apply the parking brake. Shift the transaxle to "P". Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.
