ONX4E060015
A full-time AWD vehicle should not be
tested on a 2WD roll tester. If a 2WD
roll tester must be used, perform the
following procedure:
1. Check the tire pressures
recommended for your vehicle.
2. Place the front wheels on the roll
tester for a speedometer test as
shown in the illustration.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Place the rear wheels on the
temporary free roller as shown in the
illustration.
CAUTION
Never engage the parking brake
while performing the test.
When the vehicle is lifted up, do not
operate the front and rear wheel
separately. All four wheels should be
operated.
WARNING
Keep away from the front of the vehicle
while the vehicle is in gear on the
dynamometer. The vehicle can jump
forward and cause serious injury or

be sure to seal the holes later when
