You are reading it wrong...

It doesn`t say "set up as" it says use "4 wheel drive alignment equipment"!!
which is not the same thing.

If you only want the front tracking and camber etc. checked or set then it doesn`t matter what is used but if you want the whole setup of rear and front suspension lineup checked or done then you have to use the 4x4 equipment.

The S/V40 has toe in and camber angles just like a 4x4 for the rear suspension so there is your answer.
