SD070K1-E AFTER CHANGING WHEELS The pressure of the spare tyre should be checked at the first available oppor- tunity. If any doubt exists as to the tyre pressure, the vehicle should be drivenslowly to the nearest service station and the tyre pressure checked and adjusted as required.If the valve cap is lost from any of the valves, a replacement should be ob- tained and fitted at the first availableopportunity. The valve cap prevents the ingress of dirt which may cause the valve to stick and therefore leak and ispart of the valve sealing function. Ensure that the spare wheel, jack and wheel nut wrench as well tools are correctly located in the boot of thevehicle to prevent damage and noise.
The vehicle may be towed by the con-ventional method using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attach- ment point. In addition, a suspendedtow with or without a towing dolly may be used with either the front or the rear wheels being suspended, provided theabove caution is observed.

!
CAUTION:
The following restriction must be observed in order to avoid seriousdamage to the transaxle . The vehicle must never be towed from the rear with the front wheelson the ground. The vehicle must not be towed until transaxle fluid has been added tobring the level up to the "HOT" marking on the dipstick. (The level will need to be reduced again aftertowing). The vehicle must not be towed at speeds faster than 25 mph. or dis-tances greater than fifty miles. The general points regarding the steer- ing lock etc. described in the pre-ceding section (Manual transaxle vehicle) should be observed.
SD100A3-E Automatic Transaxle Vehicle The vehicle may be towed by the con- ventional method using the towing eye at the front of the vehicle as an attach- ment point.In addition, a suspended tow may be given to the front of the vehicle without a towing dolly. In the event of a sus-pended tow being given to the rear of the vehicle, the use of a towing dolly is imperative.
o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE HTB209
In addition, the following points must be noted:
o If towing by conventional means,
the ignition key must be at the "ACC" position, otherwise the steering lockwill be activated.
o Because the brake system and
steering system power assistanceis derived from the engine, the amount of effort required to stop or steer the vehicle will be greater thannormal.
o If a suspended tow is being given to
the rear, the ignition key must be atthe "ACC" position since the steer- ing lock is not designed to withstand the force required to hold the frontwheels straight during the tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with
the front wheels on the ground formore than thirty miles.
