memory fuse at junction box to prevent natural discharging.

• Also, run the engine for battery charging within 1 month if the memory fuse

wasn't removed from the start of vehicle storing.
If the memory fuse was removed, run the engine for battery charging within 3
months from the start of vehicle storing.

LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS

When heavy rear components such as suspension, fuel tank, spare tire, tailgate and trunk lid are to be removed,
place additional weight in the luggage area before hoisting. When substatial weight is removed from the rear of
the vehicle, the center of gravity may change and can cause the vehicle to tip forward on the hoist.

• Since each tire/wheel assembly weights approximately 30lbs (14kg), placing the front wheels in the luggage

area can assist with the weight distribution.

• Use the same support points to support the vehicle on safety stands.

1. Place the lift blocks under the support points as shown in the illustration.

2. Raise the hoist a few inches (centimeters) and rock the vehicle to be sure it is firmly supported.

3. Raise the hoist to full height to inspect the lift points for secure support.

TOWING

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

Emergency Towing

There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle :
- The operator loads the vehicle on the back of truck. This is best way of transporting the vehicle.
- The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and lift them off the ground. The other
two wheels remain on the ground.
- 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.
If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed, if should be towed with the front wheels off the ground. If due to
damage, the vehicle must be toward with the front wheels on the ground, do the following :
Manual Transmission

• Release the parking brake.
• Shift the transmission to neutral

Automatic Transmission

• Release the parking brake.
• Start the engine.
• Shift to [D] position, then [N] position.
• Turn off the engine.

• Improper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If you

cannot shift the transmission or start the engine(automatic transmission), your vehicle must be transported
on a flatbed.

• It is the best to tow vehicle no farther than 19miles (30km), and keep the speed below 30mph (50km/h).
• Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not

designed to support the vehicle's weight.
