The fluid in the battery contains a strong solu-
tion of sulfuric acid, which is poisonous and highly corrosive. Be careful not to spill it onyourself or the car. If you do spill battery fluid onyourself, immediately do the following:
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush the affected areas with water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse out your eyes with water and get medical assistanceas soon as possible. While you are beingdriven to get medical assistance, continueto rinse your eyes by using a sponge or softcloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a large quantity of water or milk followed by milk ofmagnesia, eat a raw egg or drink vegetableoil. Get medical assistance as soon aspossible.
While batteries are being charged (either by abattery charger or by the vehicle's alternator),they produce explosive gases. Always observethese warnings to prevent injuries from occur-ring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area. G210B01A-AAT

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
SD090A1-E
Manual Transaxle Vehicle o If a suspended tow is being given to the
rear, the ignition key must be at the "ACC" position since the steering lock is notdesigned to withstand the force requiredto hold the front wheels straight duringthe tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with the front wheels on the ground for more thanthirty miles.
D080B01A
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE WITH NO DAMAGE
The vehicle may be towed by the conventional
method using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attachment point. In addition, asuspended tow with or without an ambulancemay be used with either the front or the rearwheels being suspended, provided the abovecaution is observed. In addition, the following points must be noted:
o If towing by conventional means, the ig- nition key must be at the "ACC" position, otherwise the steering lock will be acti-vated.
o Because the brake system and steering sys-tem power assistance is derived fromthe engine, the amount of effort requiredto stop or steer the vehicle will be greaterthan normal. SD100A2-E Automatic Transaxle Vehicle
D080C01A
o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
EQUIPPED VEHICLE
o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE
The vehicle may be towed by the conventional method using the towing eye at the front of thevehicle as an attachment point. In addition, a suspended tow may be given to the front of the vehicle without an ambulance. Inthe event of a suspended tow being given to therear of the vehicle, the use of an ambulance isimperative.
D080C02A
o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
CAUTION: The following restriction must be observed
in order to avoid serious damage to the transaxle.
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 bring the level up tothe "HOT" marking on the dipstick. (Thelevel will need to be reduced again aftertowing). 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 vehicle)should be observed.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
5-6 F070B01A-GAT
o Cooling SystemCheck the cooling system part, such as radia-
tor, coolant reservoir, hoses and connections for leakage and damage. Replace any dam-aged parts.
F070C01A-AAT
o Engine coolant The coolant should be changed at the intervals
specified in the maintenance schedule.
F070D01X-GAT
o Manual or semi-automatic transaxle
oil
Inspect the manual or semi-automatic transaxle
oil according to the maintenance schedule.
NOTE: If the oil level is low, check for possible
leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill.
F070E01X-AAT
o Automatic transaxle fluidThe fluid level should be in the “HOT” range of
the dipstick, after engine and transaxle are at
normal operating temperature. Check the Auto-matic Transaxle Fluid level with the engine
