Preparation For the Inspection Mode - Using a Scan Tool
PREPARATION FOR THE INSPECTION MODE1. Make sure that the fuel remains approx. half amount [20 - 40 l (5.3 - 10.6 US gal, 4.4 - 8.8 Imp gal)] and the battery voltage is 12 V or more.
2. 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 the 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 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 the 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.
