RECOVERY
CAUTION:
An incorrect tow or recovery could
result in serious damage to the ve-
hicle. If any damage to the suspen-
sion, steering or transaxle is appar-
ent or suspected, a towing ambu-
lance must be used. o OK FOR AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL

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 driven
slowly 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 available
opportunity. The valve cap prevents
the ingress of dirt which may cause the
valve to stick and therefore leak and is
part 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 the
vehicle 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 suspended
tow with or without a towing dolly may
be used with either the front or the rear
wheels being suspended, provided the
above caution is observed.

3- 12 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
!
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 to the "HOT"
marking on the dipstick. (The level
will need to be reduced again after
towing).
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 lock
will be activated.
o Because the brake system and
steering system power assistance
is derived from the engine, the
amount of effort required to stop or
steer the vehicle will be 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 steer-
ing lock is not designed to withstand
the force required to hold the front
wheels straight during the tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with
the front wheels on the ground for
more than thirty miles.

than 15 miles(25 km).
Be sure the steering is unlocked by
placing the key in the "ACC" posi-
tion. A driver must be in the towed

EMERGENCY TOWING For emergency towing when no com-
mercial tow vehicle is available. Do not
attempt to tow your vehicle in this
manner on any unpaved surface. This
could result in serious damage to your
car.
Nor should towing be attempted if the
wheels, drive train, axles, steering or
brakes are damaged. Before towing,
be sure the transaxle is in neutral and
the key is in "ACC" (with the engine off)
or in the "ON" position (with the engine
running). A driver must be in the towed
car to steer it and operate the brakes.
(1)Open the towing cover to push it
with your finger.
(2)To mount the towing hook, rotate it clockwise.
