Inspection Mode: Operation

Raise the vehicle using a garage jack and place on safety stands or drive the vehicle onto free rollers.

WARNING:
  • Before raising the vehicle, ensure parking brake is applied. 
  • Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a safety stand. 
  • Secure a rope or wire to the front and rear towing or tie-down hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front wheels. 
  • Do not abruptly depress/release the clutch pedal or accelerator pedal during works even when 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 safety stands and the 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.
