INTRODUCTION: REPAIR INSTRUCTION: PRECAUTION (Continued)


11. WHEN TOWING FULL-TIME 4WD VEHICLES

* Use one of the methods shown below to tow the vehicle.

* If the vehicle has trouble with the chassis or drive train, use method 1 (flat bed truck).





NOTICE:
Do not use any towing method other than those shown above.

* The towing methods shown below are dangerous and can damage the vehicle, so do not use them.





12. FOR VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM

(a) When inspecting the brakes using the brake tester, the braking force of the rear wheels maybe reduced.

When the vehicle speed is 0 Km/h (0 mph), The brake system of the vehicle limits the rear brake fluid pressure to approximately 50% of the normal brake fluid pressure when driving the vehicle, In order to reduce energy consumption.

13. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTER

CAUTION:
If a large amount of unburned gasoline or gasoline vapors flow into the converter, it may cause overheating and create a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions:

(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.

(b) Avoid idling the engine for more than 20 minutes.

(c) Avoid performing unnecessary spark jump tests.

(1) Perform a spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.

(2) While testing, never race the engine.

(d) Avoid a prolonged engine compression measurement. Engine compression measurements must be performed as rapidly as possible.

(e) Do not run the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty. This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.

14. PRECAUTION FOR COOLING FAN SYSTEM

NOTICE:
* When the ignition switch is turned off and the engine temperature is high, the cooling fans may operate for approximately 3 minutes.
* After turning the ignition switch off, keep hands and objects away from the fans when they are operating.
HINT
* If all of the following are met for a certain period of time during a few minute period immediately before the engine is stopped, the electric fans will continue to operate for 3 minutes after the engine is stopped. This is performed to ensure restartability and stabilize idle speed.
* Techstream indicates a very high coolant temperature.
* Techstream indicates a high outside air temperature.
* The vehicle has been driven under high load (driving on an uphill or equivalent).
* The following sensors are used for this control:
* Coolant temperature sensor
* Outside air temperature sensor
* MAF sensor
* Vehicle speed sensors
