TOWING AND HOISTING
GENERAL00-26
TOWING AND HOISTINGM1001000800380
TOWING THE VEHICLE BY A TOW TRUCK
.
This vehicle cannot be towed by a tow truck using
sling-type equipment (TYPE A) as illustrated; otherwise it
will damage the bumper and front end. If this vehicle is
towed, use wheel lift or flat bed equipment.
If the transmission is malfunctioning or damaged,
transport the vehicle with the driving wheels on a car-
riage (TYPE C, D or E) as illustrated.
If you tow the vehicles with an A/T with the driving
wheels on the ground (TYPE B) as illustrated, make
sure that the towing speed and distance given below
are never exceeded, causing damage to the transmis-
sion.
Towing speed: 50km/h
Towing distance: 30km
For the towing speed and the towing distance, follow
the local driving laws and regulations.
.
TOWING WITH FRONT WHEELS OFF THE
GROUND (TYPE C)
The vehicle may be towed on its rear wheels for extended dis-
tances provided the parking brake is released and gearshift
lever is in the "Neutral" position (M/T) or the selector lever is in
the "N" (NEUTRAL) position (A/T). It is recommended that vehi-
cles be towed using the front pickup whenever possible.
[For vehicles equipped with the traction control system
(TCL)]
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition key in the "ON"
position and only the front wheels or only the rear
wheels raised of the ground, a malfunction may occur
in the device
.

TOWING AND HOISTING
GENERAL00-27
TOWING WITH REAR WHEELS OFF THE
GROUND (TYPE B)
Place the gearshift lever in the "Neutral" position (M/T) or the
selector lever in the "N" (NEUTRAL) position (A/T). Turn the
ignition key to the "ACC" position and secure the steering
wheel in a straight-ahead position with a rope or tie-down strap.
Never place the ignition key in the "LOCK" position when tow-
ing.
Never tow an A/T vehicle with the rear wheels up (and
the front wheels on the ground) when the automatic
transmission fluid level is low. this may cause serious
and expensive damage to the transmission.
Do not use the steering column lock to secure the front
wheels for towing.
Make sure the transaxle is in Neutral if vehicle will have
drive wheels on the ground.
If these requirements cannot be met, the front wheels
must be placed on a tow dolly.
.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When a locked vehicle must be towed and keys are not avail-
able, the vehicle may be lifted and towed from the front, pro-
vided the parking brake is released. If not released, the rear
wheels should be placed on a tow dolly.
.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be taken when towing the
vehicle:
1. DO NOT LIFT OR TOW THE VEHICLE BY ATTACHING
TO OR WRAPPING AROUND THE BUMPER.
2. Any loose, protruding, or damaged parts such as hoods,
doors, fenders, trim, etc. should be secured or removed
prior to moving the vehicle.

NOTE: If it takes some amount of time until the transmission
fluid reaches its normal operating temperature [70
80C
(158
176F)], check the transmission fluid level by refer-
ring to the left diagram.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
3. Move the selector lever through all positions to fill the torque
converter and the hydraulic circuits with fluid, and then move
the selector lever to the "N" position.
4. After wiping off any dirt around the dipstick, remove the
dipstick and check the condition of the transmission fluid.
NOTE: If the transmission fluid smells as if it is burnt, it
means that the transmission fluid has been contaminated by
fine particles from the bushings and friction materials. Tran-
saxle overhaul and cooler line flushing may be necessary.
5. Check transmission fluid level is at the "HOT" mark on the
dipstick. If the transmission fluid level is less than this, add
DIAMOND ATF SP III until the level reaches the "HOT"
mark.
NOTE: If the transmission fluid level is too low, the oil pump
will draw in air along with the transmission fluid, which will
cause to form bubbles. If the transmission fluid level is too
high, rotating components inside the transaxle will churn the
fluid and air into a foamy liquid. Both conditions (level too
low or too high) will cause the hydraulic pressure to drop,
which will result in late shifting and slipping of the clutches
and brakes.
NOTE: In either case, air bubbles can interfere with normal
valve, clutch, and brake operation. Also, foaming can cause
transmission fluid to escape from the transaxle vent where it
may be mistaken for a leak.

14.Remove the radiator cap after the engine has cooled, and
pour in coolant up to the brim. Reinstall the cap.
Do not overfill the radiator condenser tank assembly.
15.Add coolant to the radiator condenser tank assembly
between the "FULL" and "LOW" mark if necessary.
13. COOLANT HOSES (RADIATOR HOSE,
HEATER HOSE) (INSPECT)
M1001009700034
Inspect the surface of radiator hoses and heater hoses for heat
and mechanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking,
tears, cuts, abrasions and excessive swelling indicate deterio-
ration of the rubber.
14. DISC BRAKE PADS, ROTORS (INSPECT FOR
WEAR)
M1001003200291
Check for fluid contamination and wear. Replace the complete
set of pads if any one pad is defective.
Thickness of lining
Minimum limit: 2.0 mm
The pads for the right and left wheels should be replaced
at the same time. Never split or intermix brake pad sets. All
four pads must be replaced as a complete set.
15. BRAKE HOSES (CHECK FOR
DETERIORATION OR LEAKS)
M1001003400314
Inspection of brake hoses should be included in all brake ser-
vice operations.
The hoses should be checked for:
1. Incorrect length, severe surface cracking, stretching,
scuffing or worn spots (If the fabric casing of the hoses is
exposed by cracks or abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the
hoses should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of the
hose and possible bursting failure may occur).
2. Incorrect installation, twisting or interference with wheel, tyre
or chassis.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL) DIAGNOSIS
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)13C-36
DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLEM1136003500071
NOTE: If the ABS-8 ECU or the active wheel
speed sensor are disconnected, or if the wiring is
an open/ short circuit, the ABS 8 ECU will shut
off power supply to the respective wheel speed
sensor. All other wheel speed sensors will oper-
ate normally. To restore the power supply, the
ignition switch must be turned to the "OFF" posi-
tion then to the "ON" position again.The following items can be read by the diagnostic
tool from the ABS/TCL-ECU input data. (Refer to
P.13C-3).
NOTE: Since the TCL is controlled with the same ABS/TCL-ECU used to control the ABS, the stoplight switch
check item (No.6) used only for the ABS also appear.MUT-III
