VEHICLE TOWING OR RECOVERY
The pressure of the spare tyre should be checked at the first available opportunity. Ifany doubt exists as to the tyre pressure, thevehicle should be driven slowly to the nearestservice station and the tyre pressure checkedand adjusted as required. If the valve cap is lost from any of the valves, a replacement should be obtained and fittedat the first available opportunity. The valvecap prevents the ingress of dirt which maycause the valve to stick and therefore leakand is part of the valve sealing function. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack and wheel nut wrench as well tools are correctly locatedin the boot of the vehicle to prevent damageand noise. CAUTION:
An incorrect tow or recovery could result
in serious damage to the vehicle. If anydamage to the suspension, steering ortransaxle is apparent or suspected, a tow-ing ambulance must be used.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
3-8 The vehicle may be towed by the conven-
tional method using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attachment point. Inaddition, a suspended tow with or without anambulance may be used with either the frontor the rear wheels being suspended, providedthe above caution is observed. In addition, the following points must be noted:
o If towing by conventional means, the ignition key must be at the "ACC" posi- tion, otherwise the steering lock will beactivated.
o Because the brake system and steering system power assistance is derived fromthe engine, the amount of effort re-quired to stop or steer the vehicle willbe greater than normal. o If a suspended tow is being given to the
rear, the ignition key must be at the"ACC" position since the steering lockis not designed to withstand the forcerequired to hold the front wheels straightduring the tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with the front wheels on the ground for morethan thirty miles.

The vehicle may be towed by the conven- tional method using the towing eye at the frontof the vehicle as an attachment point. In addition, a suspended tow may be given to the front of the vehicle without an ambulance.In the event of a suspended tow being givento the rear of the vehicle, the use of anambulance is imperative.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS
Information about the key of immobilizer sys-tem will be found on page 1-2.
CAUTION: The following restriction must be observed in order to avoid serious damage to thetransaxle . The vehicle must never be towed from the rear with the front wheels on the ground. The vehicle must not be towed until transaxle fluid has been added to bringthe level up to the "HOT" marking on thedipstick. (The level will need to be reducedagain after towing). The vehicle must not be towed at speeds faster than 25 mph. or distances greaterthan fifty miles. The general points regard-ing the steering lock etc. described in thepreceding section (Manual transaxle ve-hicle) should be observed.

DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
The following items should be checked on a
daily basis or whenever the vehicle is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Engine coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all lighting equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer operation.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mirrors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and opera- tion.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the daily
operating checks indicate that any item of equip- ment related to the safety or roadworthiness ofthe vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030A01FC-EAT
ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of paramount
importance. An excessively high or low oil levelmay result in irreparable damage being sus-tained by the engine. The engine oil levelmust be checked on a daily basis, wheneverthe vehicle is refuelled or before starting along trip, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an ap-
proved grade and specification of oil is used toavoid the possibility of serious engine damageand premature wear. The use of "budget price"oil is a false economy that must be avoided ifthe maximum reliability and useful life is to beobtained from the vehicle.

A multi grade oil having a specification which meets A.P.I. specification of SG or above isrecommended. The oil viscosity should be se-lected according to the operating environmentof the engine by means of the table shown inthe illustration. The engine oil recommenda-tions are complete in themselves and the use ofadditives is neither required nor recommended.The use of engine oil additives may result ininvalidation of the vehicle warranty. NOTE: The use of a 5W-20 multi grade oil is not recommended for sustained high speed use.

Checking the Refrigerant
1. Start the engine and run at idle for several minutes with the refrigeration system run- ning at the coldest setting.
2. Open the bonnet and inspect the sight glass on the top of the receiver dryer.
3. If the refrigerant charge is insufficient, a flow of bubbles will be observed through the sightglass.
4. If the refrigerant charge is satisfactory, no bubbles will be observed through the sightglass.
CAUTION: Running the air conditioning system with a
low refrigerant level may damage the com- pressor.
SG140D1-E
Off Season Maintenance The air conditioning must be run for ten minutes
or so weekly during periods when the systemwould not normally be used to ensure that thecompressor and seals are lubricated. If thisprecaution is not observed the compressor sealsmay become stuck to the compressor shaft anddamaged when the system is next used result-ing in a loss of refrigerant and damage to thecompressor.

Steering wheel freeplay should be checked to
ensure that the specified value is not exceeded.

Compressor Drive Belt
The air conditioning compressor drive belt
should be checked to ensure freedom from damage or excessive wear and correct ten-sion. The belt tension is correct when the beltdeflects by about 0.3 inches (8 mm) when aforce of 98 N is applied to the belt halfwaybetween the compressor and crankshaft SG140A1-E

MAINTENANCE
Condenser Ensure that the condenser is periodicallyinspected and that accumulations of dirt, deadinsects and leaves etc, are removed to ensurethat the efficiency of the system is not impaired.Care must be exercised to ensure that thecondenser fins are not damaged during clean-ing.
