Preparation For The Inspection Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Subaru Outback and 2006 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Check battery voltage is more than 12 V and fuel remains half [20 - 40 l (5.3 - 10.6 US gal, 4.4 - 8.8 lmp gal)].
- 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.
