When towing is necessary, the vehicle towing eyes
should be used. The rope must be securely
fastened to the towing eyes and must also be
attached to the other vehicle such that the rope will
not foul the bodywork.

towed, the gear selector must be in position

transmission at a speed greater than 30 mph (50

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Always disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse
order to the connecting sequence and do not short
i the ends of the cables.
Do not rely on the generator to restore a
discharged battery. For a generator to recharge a
battery, it would take in excess of eight hours
continuous driving with no additional loads placed
on the battery.
Component Cleaning
To prevent the ingress of dirt, accumulations of
loose dirt and greasy deposits should be removed
before disconnecting or dismantling components
or assemblies.
Components should be thoroughly cleaned before inspection prior to reassembly.
Cleaning Methods:
- Dry cleaning.
- Removal of loose dirt with soft or cable brushes.
- Scraping dirt off with a piece of metal or wood.
( ,- Wiping off with a rag.
A WARN1NG:Wear eye protection when
cleaning vehicle components with
compressed air, a steam cleaner or a
power washer. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
A Compressed air is sometimes 'wet' so use
with caution, especially on hydraulic
systems.
A To prevent damage to the electrical
connectors in the engine compartment, do
not use a steam cleaner or a power washer
to clean the engine compartment.
- Blowing dirt off with compressed air.
- Removal of dry dust using vacuum equipment.
This method must always be used to remove
friction lining material dust (asbestos particles).
- Steam cleaning.
A WARN1NG:Most solvents require careful
handling and some are harmful. Refer to
Health and Safety Precautions and to the
manufacturers literature for the relevant
safety precautions. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
Various solvents are available which are suitable
for component cleaning. Some components, such
as brake hydraulic parts and electrical assemblies
should be cleaned only with recommended solvents
- refer to Solvents, Sealers and Adhesives or to
the section of the manual relevant to the
component.
Calibration of Essential Measuring
Equipment
A WARNING:Equipment, which requires
regular calibration, must be calibrated in
accordance with the manufacturers
instructions. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury
or damage to components.
It is of fundamental importance that certain
essential equipment, for example torque wrenches,
multimeters, exhaust gas analyzers or rolling roads,
are regularly calibrated in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.

How to Use this Diagnostic Procedure
Section
Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) concerns
have become more important as
vehjcles have
become more sensitive to these vibrations. This
section is designed to aid in identifying these
concerns.
The section provides diagnostic procedures based on symptom. If the condition occurs at
high speed, for instance, the most likely place
to start is under Shake and Vibration While
Driving.
The road test procedure will tell how to sort the
conditions into categories and how to tell a
vibration from a shake.
A series of Road Test Quick Checks are
provided to make sure that a cause is either
pinpointed or eliminated.
Name the condition, proceed to the appropriate
section and locate the correct diagnosis. When
the condition is identified, the job is partly done.
Follow the diagnostic procedure as outlined.
Quick Checks are described within the step,
while more involved tests and adjustments are
outlined in General Procedures.
Always follow each step exactly and make notes
to recall important findings later.
driveline
It is important, therefore, that an NVH concern be
isolated into its specific
area(s) as soon as
possible. The easiest and quickest way to do this
is to carry out the Road Test as outlined. To assist
in the diagnosis and testing
procedure(s), use a
suitable approved NVH diagnosis tester.
Noise Diagnostic Procedure
Non-Axle Noise
The five most common sources of non-axle noise
are exhaust, tires, roof racks, trim panels and
( transmission.
Therefore, make sure that none of the following
conditions are the cause of the noise before
proceeding with a driveline

diagnosis.
In certain conditions, the pitch of the exhaust
may sound very much like gear noise. At other
times, it can be mistaken for a wheel bearing
rumble.
Tires, especially snow tires, can have a high
pitched tread whine or roar, similar to gear
noise. Radial tires may have this characteristic.
Also, any non-standard tire with an unusual
tread construction may emit a roar or whine
noise.
Trim panels can also cause whistling or whining
noise.
Clunk may be a metallic noise heard when the
