Test driving





Warning! Observe all traffic regulations during the test drive.

Hint: The test drive consists of two tests. The first test is at low engine speeds (RPM). The second is at higher engine speeds (RPM).
At low engine speeds (RPM), four wheel drive is normally disengaged. At high engine speeds, four wheel drive will be engaged. This will have a braking effect when the clutch is depressed and the accelerator pedal (AP) is released.
The stopping distance with four wheel drive engaged must be approximately half the distance of that when four wheel drive is disengaged.

The test drive
Drive the car in a circle at full lock (the smallest turning circle) at a speed of approximately 10 km/h. Press the clutch and release the accelerator pedal (AP). Let the car come to a standstill.
Note how long it took for the car to stop.
Repeat the test. Increase the engine speed to 3000-4000 rpm. Let the car come to a standstill.
The car will stop in half the distance it took to stop in the first test if the function is correct.
Drive the car while looking out for any faults in functions or noise from the rear suspension.
If there is a fault or noise, stop the test drive. Return to the workshops. Fault trace the symptoms.
