Preparation For The Inspection Mode

1. Check battery voltage is more than 12 V and fuel remains half [20 to 40 l  (5.3 to 10.6 US gal, 4.4 to 8.8 Imp gal)].
2. Lift-up the vehicle using a garage jack and place it on rigid racks, or drive the vehicle onto free rollers.
   WARNING:

   • Before raising the vehicle, ensure parking brakes are applied.
   • Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a rigid rack.
   • Secure a rope or wire to the front or rear towing hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front wheels.
   • Do not abruptly depress/release clutch pedal or accelerator pedal during works even when the engine is operating at low speeds since this may cause vehicle to jump off free rollers.
   • In order to prevent the vehicle from slipping due to vibration, do not place any wooden blocks or similar items between the rigid racks and vehicle.
   • Since the rear wheels will also rotate, do not place anything near them. Also, make sure that nobody goes in front of the vehicle.
