VEHICLE LIFT AND SUPPORT
LOCATIONS
1. NOTICE ABOUT VEHICLE CONDITION WHEN
JACKING UP VEHICLE
(a) The vehicle must be unloaded before jacking up /
lifting up the vehicle. Never jack up / lift up a heavily
loaded vehicle.
(b) When removing heavy parts such as the engine and
transmission, the center of gravity of the vehicle
may shift. To stabilize the vehicle, place a balance
weight in a location where it will not roll or shift, or
use a mission jack to hold the jacking support.
2. NOTICE FOR USING 4 POST LIFT
(a) Follow the safety procedures outlined in the lift
instruction manual.
(b) Use precautionary measures to prevent the free
wheel beam from damaging tires or wheels.
(c) Use wheel chocks to secure the vehicle.
3. NOTICE FOR USING JACK AND SAFETY STAND
(a) Work on a level surface. Use wheel chocks at all
times.
(b) Use safety stands with rubber attachments as
shown in the illustration.
(c) Set the jack and safety stands to the specified
locations of the vehicle accurately.
(d) When jacking up the vehicle, first release the
parking brake and move the shift lever to N.
(e) When jacking up the entire vehicle:
• When jacking up the front wheels first, make sure
wheel chocks are behind the rear wheels.
• When jacking up the rear wheels first, make sure
wheel chocks are in front of the front wheels.
(f) When jacking up only the front or rear wheels of the
vehicle:
• Before jacking up the front wheels, place wheel
chocks on both sides of the rear wheels.
• Before jacking up the rear wheels, place wheel
chocks on both sides of the front wheels.
(g) When lowering a vehicle that only has its front or
rear wheels jacked up:
• Before lowering the front wheels, make sure
wheel chocks are in front of the rear wheels.
• Before lowering the rear wheels, make sure
wheel chocks are behind the front wheels.

8. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn the high
beam headlights ON and turn the heater blower
switch to the "HI" position.
(b) Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage:
30 A or more
If the ammeter reading is less than the standard
amperage, repair the generator.
HINT:
If the battery is fully charged, the indication will
sometimes be less than the standard amperage. If
this is the case, add more electrical load (operate
the wipers, rear window defogger, etc.) and check
the reading on the ammeter again.

(3) The main body ECU controls the illumination
period of the following parts based on the
signals listed in G.
• Headlight (LOW)
• Headlight (HIGH)
• Side marker light (front and rear)
• Front fog light
(e) Daytime running light system:
This system is directly connected to the high-beam
headlights and is designed to automatically activate
the daytime running lights in order to increase the
visibility of the vehicle.
(1) The main body ECU receives the following (H).
• Ignition switch signal
• Engine speed
• Parking brake switch signal
• Light control switch signal
(2) The main body ECU controls the following signal
based on the signals listed in H (I).
• Daytime running light No. 2 relay operation

(3) The main body ECU controls the on/off
operation of the following part based on the
signal listed in I.
• Headlight (HIGH)
