Wh en t
he vehicle is being reco
vered by rear suspended tow:
The ignition key must be remo ved from the ig
nition switch to lock the stee
ring with the front wheels facing straight
ahead.
The re ar
wheels must be
correctly positioned in the lifting cradle and securely tied down.

WARNING: IF THE
ENGINE IS NOT
RUNNING, THE STEERING WILL BECOME HEAVY AND THE FORCE NECESSARY TO
EFFECTIVELY APPLY THE BRAKES WILL BE GREATLY INCREASED.
• CAUTIONS:
A vehicle with a defective transmission must be towed by rear suspended tow.
The vehicle towing point is not suit able for use with a solid tow-bar.
Do not use the crossbeam tie bar as a towing location.
When the vehicle is being towed on its own wheels:
Loc a
l regulations for the towing of ve
hicles must be followed. In some co untries the registration number of the
towing vehicle and an 'On Tow' sign or warning triangle must be displayed at the rear of the towed vehicle.
The gear s
elector lever
must be in Neutral.
The
ignition switch must be in positi
on II to release the steering lock and make the direction indicators, horn and
stop lamps operate.
A di
stance of 0.8 km (0.5 mi
le) must not be exceeded.
A spe
ed of 48 km/h (30 mph) must not be exceeded.
The tow rope must be attached using th
e towi
ng location provided; refer to Front Towing Point in this section.

AUTIONS:
The type of wheel design that can be installed to the vehicle is influenced by the vehicle's braking system. The
optional Brembo brake has a larger disc diameter than the stan dard brake, therefore restricting what size of wheel can be
installed to vehicles fi tted with Brembo brakes.
The Milan and RK wheels can be installed to all vehicles; all other wheels must only be installed to vehicles fitted with
standard brakes.

iagnosis and Testing
Principles of Operations
The brake system operates by transferring effort applied to th e brake pedal, by the driver to the brakes at each wheel.
The braking effort is distributed to each wheel, using a hydraulic system. The system is assisted using a vacuum brake
booster that reduces pedal effort for a given hydraulic pressure. The parking brake operates on the rear wheels and is
applied using a hand operated control.
I
nspection and Verification
•
NOTE: Prior to carrying out any diagno
sis, make sure that the brake system warning indicator is functional.
Visually examine the front and rear tire and wheel assemblies for damage such as un even wear patterns, tread worn out or
sidewall damage. Verify the tires are th e same size, type and, where possible, same manufacture. Replace the damaged
wheel or excessively worn tire. For a dditional information, refer toSection 204
-0
4 Wheels and Tires
.
W
heels and tires must be cleared of an
y foreign matter and tire pressures ad justed to the correct specification.
If the tires exhibit uneven wear or feathering, the cause must be corrected. Check the steering and suspension components
for damage or wear and, if ne cessary, check and adjust front wheel alignment. For additional information, refer toSection

Road Test
V
isual Inspection Chart
Carr
y out a road test to compare actual vehicle braking performance with the
performance standards expected by the
driver. The ability of the test driver to make valid compar isons and detect performance deficiencies will depend on
experience.
The driver should have a thorough knowledge of brake system operation and accepted general performance guidelines to
make good comparisons and de tect performance concerns.
An experienced brake technician will always establish a route that will be used for all br ake diagnosis road tests. The roads
selected will be reasonably smooth and level. Gravel or bump y roads are not suitable because the surface does not allow the
tires to grip the road equally. Crowned roads should be avoide d because of the large amount of weight shifted to the low set
of wheels on this type of road. Once th e route is established and consistently used, the road surface variable can be
eliminated from the test results.
Before a road test, obtain a complete description of the customer concerns or suspec ted condition. From the description, the
technician's experience will allow the te chnician to match possible causes with symptoms. Certain components will be
tagged as possible suspects while others wi ll be eliminated by the evidence. More importantly, the customer description can
reveal unsafe conditions which should be ch ecked or corrected before the road test. The description will also help form the
basic approach to the road test by narrowing the concern to specific components, vehicle speed or conditions.
Begin the road test with a general brake performance check. Keeping the description of the concern in mind, test the brakes
at different vehicle speeds using both ligh t and heavy pedal pressure. To determine if the concern is in the front or rear
braking system, use the brake pe dal and then use the parking brake control. If the condition (pull, vibration, pulsation)

If the concern becomes evident during this check, verify it fits the description given before the road test. If the concern is
not evident, attempt to duplicate the condition using the information from the description.
If a concern exists, use the Symptom Chart in order to isolate it to a specific sub-system and condition description. From
this description, a list of possible sources can be used to further narrow the cause to a specific component or condition.
