Cautions on handling of 4-wheel
drive vehicles
E00606800687
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the 4
wheels, the performance of the vehicle when oper-
ating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected by the con-
dition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install specified tyres on all wheels. Refer to
“Tyres and wheels” on page 9-09.
l Be sure to fit all four tyres and wheels of the
same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or
wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
l All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between the front and rear
tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if
there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to
“Tyre rotation” on page 8-12.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly.
CAUTION
l Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using the tyres of differ-
ent size, type, brands or the degree of
wear, will increase the differential oil tem-
perature, resulting in possible damage to
the driving system. Further, the drive
train will be subjected to excessive load-
ing, possibly leading to oil leakage, com-
ponent seizure, or other serious faults.
Towing
CAUTION
l Do not tow 4WD vehicles with the front
or rear wheels on the ground (Type A or
Type B) as illustrated. This could result
in damage to the vehicle’s driving system
or the vehicle could jump at the carriage.
If you tow 4WD vehicles, use Type C or
Type D equipment.
Jacking up 4-wheel drive vehicles
WARNING
l Do not crank the engine while jacking up
the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack.
