WRECKER TOWING RECOMMENDATION
FRONT TOWING PICKUP
Caution
This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using sli ng
type equipment to prevent the bumper from deformati on.
if this vehicle is towed, use lift type, fiat bed type
or
type equipment.
The vehicle may be towed on its rear wheels for ext ended
distances provided the parking brake is released. It is recom-
mended that vehicles be towed using the front picku p whenev-
er possible.
REAR TOWING PICKUP
Caution
1. This vehicle cannot be towed by a wrecker using
equipment to prevent the from ‘de-
formation.
if this vehicle is towed, use lift flat bed
type or doily type equipment.
2.Do not use steering lock to secure front
position for towing.
3. Make sure the transaxle is in Neutral if
will
be with drive
on the ground.. .
Automatic transaxle vehicle may be towed on the fro nt wheels
at speeds not to exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) for distan ces
not to exceed 30 km (18 miles).
C a u t i o n
if these limits cannot be met, the front
must be
placed on a tow doily or a fiat bet type must be us ed.

TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE, NOT, AVAILABLE .
When a locked vehicle must be towed and not
able, the vehicle may be lifted and towed from the front;
provided the parking brake is released. If not rele ased,. the
rear wheels should be placed on a tow dolly.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be towing the
vehicle.
1.DO NOT LIFT OR TOW THE BY ATTACHING
TO OR WRAPPING AROUND BUMPER.
2. Any loose or protruding
of vehicle such
as hoods, doors, fenders,
etc., should be secured
or removed prior to moving
vehicle.
3.Operator should refrain going under a vehicle while
it is lifted by the towing unless the vehicle
is adequately supported by safety stands.
4. Never allow passengers to ride in a towed vehicl e.
5. State and local rules and regulations must be fo llowed
when towing a vehicle.
Caution
1.If only the front wheels or only. the rear wheels a re
lifted for towing, the bumper will be damaged.
In addition, lifting of the rear wheels causes the oil
to flow forward, and may result in heat damage to
the rear bushing of the transfer, and should never
be done.
2.Do not tow the vehicle ‘with “only front or
only the rear wheels on a dolly, or the viscous
coupling will be damaged. In a
case, the vehicle
may jump forward suddenly.
3. If this vehicle is towed, use
bed dolly
type equipment.

Speedometer tests, brake tests and wheel balance me asure-
ment for full-time AWD vehicles should be carried o ut accord-
ing to the following procedures.
SPEEDOMETER TEST
Refer to GROUP 54 Combination Meter.
BRAKE TEST
In order to stabilize the viscous coupling‘s draggi ng force,
the brake test should always be conducted after the speedom-
eter test.
FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
Place the front wheels on’ the brake tester.
2. Perform the brake test.
Caution
The rear wheels should remain on the ground.
3.If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified
jack up the vehicle and each -to
check the rotation condition of each wheel.
NOTE
If the brake dragging force exceeds the specified
the cause may be the effect of the viscous
dragging force, so jack up the front and check
the rotation condition of the wheels in this state for no
effect by the viscous coupling‘s dragging force.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
After placing the rear wheels on the brake tester, follow the
same procedures as for the front wheel measurements .
Brake force of AWD models with
If both front wheels are locked and rear wheel meas urement
is difficult, the measurement in this condition can be consid-
ered to comprise the total.

FRONT WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
1. Jack up the rear wheels, and place an axle at
the designated part of the side sill.
2. Jack up the front wheels and set, a pick-up stan d and
balancing machine in place.
Caution
1.Set so that the front and rear of the vehicle are
at the same height.
2. Release the parking brake.
3.Rotate each wheel manually and check to be sure
that there is no dragging.
3. Use the engine to drive the tyres, and then make the
measurement.
Caution
1.If an error is indicated in the state of engine drive,
motor drive can be used concurrently.
2. Do not operate the clutch suddenly, or increase or reduce speed suddenly during the work.
REAR WHEEL MEASUREMENTS
1. Jack up the front wheels, and ‘place an, ‘axle s tand at
the designated part of the side sill.’
2.Jack up the rear wheels, and then, setting a pick-up
stand and balancing machine in place, follow the sa me
procedure asfor front wheel measurements.

Lubrication and
GENERAL Lubricants and Lubricant Capacities Table
Use of fuels containing alcohol is not recommended
unless the nature of the blend can be determined
as being satisfactory.
Gasohol
A mixture of 10% ethanol (grain alcohol)
and 90% unleaded gasoline may be used in your
car.
If problems are experienced as a result
of using gasohol, it is recommended that the car
be operated on gasoline.
Methanol Do not use gasolines containing
methanol (wood alcohol). Use of this type of alcohol
can result in vehicle performance deterioration and
damage critical parts in the fuel system compo-
nents. Fuel system damage and performance prob-
lems, resulting from the use of gasolines containin g
methanol, may not be covered by the new car war-
ranty.
Gasolines containing
Ether)
Unleaded gasoline containing 15% or
may be used in car. Fuel containing MTBE
over 15% vol. may cause reduced engine perfor-
mance and produce vapor lock or hard starting.
MATERIALS
TO FUEL
Indiscriminate use of fuel system -cleaning’
should be avoided. Many of these materials in-
tended for gum and varnish removal
highly active solvents or similar ingredients that
can be harmful to gasket and diaphragm materials
used in fuel system component

(Check ‘fluid level)
Engine (Non-turbo)>
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Start engine and allow to idle in PARK for at le ast 60
seconds. The warmer the transaxle fluid, the more
accurate the reading.
3.While sitting in driver seat, apply brakes and plac e gear
selector in each position. Return gear selector to PARK.
4. Raise hood and remove transaxle fluid level indi cator
(dipstick) and wipe clean with a suitable shop towe l.
5.
dipstick and verify it is seated in fill tube.
Caution
Do not overfill automatic transaxle, leakage or dam age
can result.
6. Remove dipstick, with handle above tip, take flu id level
reading. If the vehicle has been driven for’ at fea st 15
minutes before inspecting fluid
transaxle can be
considered hot and reading should be above the WARM
mark. If vehicle has run for less than 15 minutes a nd
more than 60 seconds, transaxle can be considered w arm
and reading should be above ADD mark. Add fluid onl y
if level is below ADD mark on dipstick when transax le
is warm.

1. Drive until the fluid temperature reaches the us ual
, temperature
2. Place vehicle on level floor.
3.Move selector lever sequentially to every position to fill
torque converter and hydraulic circuit with fluid, then place
lever, in “N” Neutral position. This operation is n ecessary
to be sure that fluid level check is accurate.
