LIFTING AND TOWING
08-2
Raising the front of a vehicle
Position the cup of the hydraulic arm under the
centre of the front body crossmember assembly.
Use jack to raise front road wheels to enable safety
stands to be installed under the front end of each
longitudinal member.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle re-
check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle
from stands.
NOTE: For some repair operations it may be
necessary to use a jack to support the engine under
the sump. In this case, a block of wood should be
used on the jack to protect the sump.
Raising the rear of a vehicle
Position cup of hydraulic arm under the centre of the
rear subframe crossmember at the position
identified by the embossed arrows.
Use jack to raise rear road wheels to enable safety
stands to be installed under the rear ends of the
body longitudinal members.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle, re-
check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle
from stands.
Wheel-free lift
Locate the lifting pads under the ends of the body
longitudinal members. Raise the ramp to support the
weight of the vehicle, ensure the vehicle is secure on
the lifting pads, then raise the ramp to the required
height.
Towing
General
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The
following instructions must be adhered to:
Towing the vehicle on all four wheels with driver
operating steering and brakes
lTurn ignition key to position '1' to release
steering lock and then to position 'II' to enable
the brake lights, wipers and direction indicators
to be operated, if necessary.
l Select neutral in gearbox and ensure HDC (hill
descent control) is deselected.
lSecure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
lRelease the parking brake.
CAUTION: The brake servo and power assisted
steering system will not be functional without the
engine running. Greater pedal pressure will be
required to apply the brakes and the steering
system will require greater effort to turn the front
road wheels. The vehicle tow connection should
only be used under normal road conditions,
'snatch' recovery should be avoided.
Suspended tow by breakdown vehicle
Mark propeller shaft drive flanges and mating flanges
with identification lines to enable the propeller shaft
to be refitted in its original position.
Remove the propeller shaft fixings then remove the
shaft from the vehicle.
CAUTION: To prevent vehicle damage, rear
propeller shaft MUST BE removed.

LIFTING AND TOWING
08-3
If the front of the vehicle is to be trailed, turn ignition
key to position 'I' to release steering lock.
WARNING: Do not turn the starter switch to
position '0' or remove the ignition key while the
vehicle is being towed.
CAUTION: If it is considered unsafe to turn the
starter switch to position '1' due to accident
damage or an electrical fault; disconnect the
battery before turning the ignition switch.
CAUTION: The steering wheel and/or linkage
must be secured in a straight ahead position. DO
NOT use the steering lock mechanism for this
purpose.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should the
vehicle be towed or recovered by means of
lashing to the rear subframe. Serious damage to
the subframe and body could result.
CAUTION: Only use the rear towing eye for
towing another vehicle.
Towing eyes
The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle
are designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and
must not be used to tow a trailer or caravan.
Front and rear towing eyes
A single towing eye is provided in the front spoiler.
Only use when the vehicle is to be towed with all four
wheels on the ground.
A single towing eye is provided in the rear RH spoiler.
Only use when towing another vehicle.Transporting the vehicle by trailer
Lashing rings are provided at the front and rear of the
body to facilitate the securing of the vehicle to a
trailer or other means of transportation.
CAUTION: Underbody components must not be
used as lashing points. The lashing rings must
not be used for towing.
Install the vehicle on trailer and apply the parking
brake. Select neutral.
Lashing eyes
Lashing rings are provided at the front and rear of the
vehicle for use when transporting by trailer. DO NOT
use lashing eyes for towing purposes.

Tyres
Check
1.Check for any apparent damage to tyres,
paying particular attention to side walls.
2.Look at tyre treads and check for any unusual
wear patterns which may indicate out of
specification adjustment of steering or
suspension.
NOTE: Any adjustments to steering or
suspension will be subject to additional labour
and/or material cost and should not be carried
out without the authorisation of the customer.
3.Measure the tread depth across the width of the
tyre and around the circumference. Annotate
the maintenance check sheet with the lowest
figure obtained from each tyre.
NOTE: Any requirement to replace tyres should
be advised to the customer before any remedial
work is carried out. This will be subject to
additional labour and/or material cost and
should not be carried out without the
authorisation of the customer.
CAUTION: If new tyres are to be fitted,
ensure that they are fitted to the rear axle
only or to both front and rear axles. DO NOT
fit new tyres to front axle only.
Brake Pads and Calipers
Brake Pads
1.With front road wheels removed, check brake
pad thickness and ensure that both pads are
wearing evenly.
2.Check brake discs for signs of cracking,
excessive scoring or oil contamination.
NOTE: Any requirement to replace brake pads
or brake discs should be advised to the
customer as this will be subject to additional
labour and/or material cost and should not be
carried out without the authorisation of the
customer.
3.Check for any signs of brake fluid leakage from
caliper seals, hoses or unions.
4.Using brake cleaner, remove excessive
deposits of brake dust from pads, calipers and
disc shields.
