CAUTION
The AWD vehicle cannot be towed
with sling-type equipment. Use
wheel lift or flatbed equipment.
WARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with tyres
designed to provide safe ride and
handling capability. Do not use tyres
and wheels that are different in size
and type from the originally
installed ones. It can affect the
safety and performance of your
vehicle, which could lead to steering
failure or rollover and serious injury.
When replacing the tyres, be sure to
equip all four tyres with the tyre
and wheel of the same size, type,
tread, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
WARNING
Jacked vehicle
Whilst the full-time AWD vehicle is
being raised on a jack, never start
the engine or cause the tyres to
rotate.
There is the danger that rotating
tyres touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to go off the jack
and to jump forward.
Full-time AWD vehicles must be
tested on a special four wheel
chassis dynamometer.
