Lift and Support Points

Note. If you are going to remove heavy components such as the suspension or the fuel tank from the rear of the vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall safety stands. When substantial weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can change, causing the vehicle to tip forward on the lift.

Scheme 27

1. Position the lift pads (A) under the vehicle's front support points (B) and rear support points (C). NOTE: Be sure the lift pads are properly placed to avoid damaging the vehicle.
2. Raise the lift a few inches, and rock the vehicle gently to be sure it is firmly supported.
3. Raise the lift to its full height, and inspect the vehicle support points for solid contact with the lift pads.

Safety Stands

To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same support points as for a vehicle lift. Always use safety stands when working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.

Scheme 28

1. When lifting the front of the vehicle, set the parking brake. When lifting the rear of the vehicle, put the shift lever in P.
2. Block the wheels that are not being lifted.
3. Position the floor jack under the front jacking bracket (A) or the rear jacking bracket (B). Center the jacking bracket on the jack lift platform (C), and jack up the vehicle high enough to fit the safety stands under it. NOTE: Be sure the floor jack is properly placed to avoid damaging the vehicle.
4. Position the safety stands under the support points, and adjust them so the vehicle is level side-to-side.
5. Lower the vehicle onto the stands.

Towing

If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service. Never tow the vehicle behind another vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.

Emergency Towing

There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.

Flat-bed Tow Truck Equipment - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a flat-bed tow truck.

This is the only way of transporting the vehicle.

To accommodate the flat-bed tow truck equipment, the vehicle is equipped with a detachable front/rear towing hook (A), front tie down hook slots (B), and rear tie down hook slots (C).

The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the flat-bed tow truck, and the tie down hook slots can be used secure the vehicle to the flat-bed tow truck.

Note. The front attachment hole (D) for the detachable tow hook has a rubber plug (E) covering the opening. The rear tie down hook slots has rubber plugs (F) over the openings. Be sure to reinstall the plugs after use.

Towing Hook Installation

The detachable towing hook is for towing a very short distances, such as freeing the vehicle. The hook attaches to the anchor in the front or rear bumper.

Note. To avoid damage to the vehicle, use the towing hook for straight flat ground towing only. Do not tow on an angle. Do not use the detachable tow hook as a tie down for securing the vehicle on a flat-bed tow truck. To secure the vehicle on a flat-bed tow truck, use the tie down hook slots provided.

Scheme 31

Scheme 32

1. Remove the cover (A) from the bumper.
2. Remove the rubber plug (B) from the front attachment hole (C). Front bumper: Rear bumper
3. Remove the detachable towing hook from the tool kit under the cargo area.
4. Screw in the detachable towing hook (D), and tighten it securely by hand.

Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lifts them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground. Never tow the vehicle with wheel lift equipment.

Sling-type Equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around parts of the frame or suspension, and the cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is attempted. This method of towing the vehicle is unacceptable.

The only recommended way of towing the vehicle is on a flat-bed tow truck.

Note. Towing the vehicle with only two wheels on the ground will damage parts of the SH-AWD system. If the vehicle is damaged, it must be towed on a flat-bed tow truck or trailer. Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle's weight.

For the vehicle equipped with the engine start/stop button

1. If the battery is discharged, the ACC mode cannot be selected by pushing the engine start/stop button. Charge or replace the battery to unlock the steering wheel before towing.
2. If the ACC mode cannot be selected because of in an electrical problem other than a discharged battery, the vehicle must be transported on a flat-bed tow truck.

Parts Marking

To deter vehicle theft, certain major components are marked with the vehicle identification number (VIN). Original parts have self-adhesive labels. Replacement body parts have generic self-adhesive labels. These labels should not be removed. The original engine or transmission VIN plates are not transferable to the replacement engine or transmission.

Note. Be careful not to damage the parts marking labels during body repair. Mask the labels before repairing the part.

Precautions for Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) System

This vehicle is equipped with the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system. The SH-AWD system distributes driving torque between the front and rear wheels when accelerating and when wheel spin occurs.

The SH-AWD system does not have a manual switch to disable the AWD system. Whenever service work requires spinning the front or rear wheels with the engine, always lift and support the vehicle so all four wheels are off the ground.
