Work Stall Test Warning



Work Stall Test Caution

Caution: One or more of the following guidelines may apply when performing specific required tests in the work stall:

* When a test requires spinning the drive wheels with the vehicle jacked up, adhere to the following precautions:


- Do not exceed 56 km/h (35 mph) when spinning one drive wheel with the other drive wheel stopped. This limit is necessary because the speedometer indicates only one-half the actual vehicle speed under these conditions. Personal injury may result from excessive wheel spinning.

- If all of the drive wheels are spinning at the same speed, do not exceed 112 km/h (70 mph). Personal injury may result from excessive wheel spinning.


* When a test requires jacking up the vehicle and running with the wheels and brake rotors removed, adhere to the following precautions:


- Do not apply the brake with the brake rotors removed.

- Do not place the drive motor in PARK with the drive wheels still spinning.

- Turn the key OFF in order to stop the wheels from spinning.
