ON±VEHICLE WHEEL BALANCING
NOTICE:
1. When doing on±vehicle wheel balancing on a fulltime 4WD
vehicle, to prevent the wheels from rotating at different
speeds or in different directions from each other (which
could lead to damage to the center differential or trans-
axle gears), always be sure to observe the following pre-
cautions:
(1) A11 four wheels should be jacked up, completely clear
of the ground.
(2) The wheels should be driven by both the engine and
the wheel balancer.
(3) The center differential control switch should be in the
OFF condition.
(4) The mode select lever on the transaxle should be in
the LOCK position.
(5) The parking brake lever should be fully released.
(6) None of the brakes should be allowed to drag.
2. Avoid sudden acceleration, deceleration and braking.
3. Carry out the wheel balancing with the transmission in D
range.
1. SET CENTER DIFFERENTIAL CONTROL SWITCH TO
OFF
(1) Check that the center differential control indicator light
goes off.
(2) Further check that hydraulic multiplate clutch control of
the center differential is in OFF condition.
(See page IN±15)
2. MOVE MODE SELECT LEVER ON TRANSAXLE TO
ºLOCKº MODE AND LOCK IT SECURELY WITH BOLT
(See page IN±16)
3. CONFIRM MODE SELECTION
(See page IN±17)

4. JACK UP VEHICLE So THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS CAN
ROTATE
The wheels will be rotating fast, so make sure the vehicle is
firmly supported on stands.
7. PLACE WHEEL TO BE BALANCED ON WHEEL
BALANCER
Follow the procedure specified by the wheel balancer
manufacturer.
8. START ENGINE
9. PUT TRANSMISSION IN ºDº RANGE, THEN
GRADUALLY INCREASE SPEED TO TEST SPEED 6. MAKE SURE THAT BRAKES ARE NOT DRAGGING
ON ANY OF FOUR WHEELS 5. RELEASE PARKING BRAKE FULLY

32. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL
(a) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
(b) With the engine idling and the parking
brake applied, shift the selector into all
positions from ºPº to ºLº, and then shift
into ºPº.
(c) Pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid
with a clean rag. Re±insert the dipstick
and check that the fluid level is in the HOT
range.
(d) Perform this check with the fluid at normal
driving temperature (70 ± 80
°C or
158 ± 176°F).
NOTE: Wait about 30 minutes before check-
ing the fluid level after extended driving at high
speeds i n hot weather, driving i n heavy traffic
or with a trailer.
33. EXHAUST SYSTEM
Visually inspect for cracks, holes or loose sup-
ports.
If any change in the sound of the exhaust oK
smell of the exhaust fumes is noticed, have the
cause located and corrected.

(b) Check all clamps for tightness and connections for
leakage.
(c) Check that the hoses and lines are clear of sharp
edges, moving parts and the exhaust system.
(d) Check that the lines installed in grommets pass through
the center of the grommets. 10. INSPECT FUEL LINES AND CONNECTIONS
Visually check the fuel lines for cracks, leakage, loose con-
nections, deformation or tank band looseness.
