Special Handling Instructions For AWD Models

SPECIAL HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR AWD MODELS

BRAKE TEST
In order to stabilize the viscous coupling's dragging force, the brake test should always be conducted after the speedometer test.

FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS





1. Place the front wheels on the brake tester.
2. Perform the brake test.
Caution: The 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.
NOTE: If 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 MEASUREMENTS
After placing the rear wheels on the brake tester, follow the same procedures as for the front wheel measurements.

WHEEL BALANCE

FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
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:
- Set so that the front and rear of the vehicle are at the same height.
- Release the parking brake.
- 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:
- If an error is indicated in the state of engine drive, motor drive can be used concurrently.
- Do not operate the clutch suddenly, or increase or reduce speed suddenly during the work.

REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
1. 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.
