a. NOTICES FOR WHEN TESTING WITH 2-WHEEL DRUM TESTER
1. When testing with a 2-wheel drum tester such as a speedometer tester, a combination tester for the speedometer and brake, a chassis dynamometer, enter maintenance mode, or switch to VSC OFF mode to turn TRC and VSC operation off. Then enter test mode, start the engine and perform measurements.

CAUTION:
- If the vehicle is tested in normal mode on the drum tester, TRC and VSC operation may cause the vehicle to jump out from the drum tester.
- When switching to VSC OFF mode, the VSC OFF switch must be held for 3 seconds or more with the vehicle stopped. TRC and VSC operation must both be turned off before beginning testing.
- During VSC OFF mode, the combination meter's SLIP indicator light and VSC OFF indicator light illuminate.
- Fix the vehicle in place with chains for safety.




b. NOTICES OF RELATED OPERATIONS TO VSC
1. Do not carry out unnecessary installation and removal as it might affect the adjustment of VSC related parts.
2. Be sure to follow the instructions for work preparation and final confirmation of proper operation of the VSC system.
