BRAKE FLUID CHECK
If the quantity of fluid in the brake
reservoir drops below the
recommended level, a red warning
indicator in the instrume nt pack will illuminate
and the message BRAKE FLUID LOW will be
displayed in the message centre.
Note: If the warning indicator illuminates or the
message is displayed, while the vehicle is being
driven, stop the vehicle as soon as safety
permits by gently applying the brakes. Check
and top-up the fluid level if necessary.
Checking the fluid level
With the vehicle on level ground, check the
fluid level at least every week (more frequently
in high mileage or arduous operating
conditions).
The brake fluid reservoi r is located beneath a
cover on the raised platform to the rear of the
main underbonnet area. See ENGINE
COMPARTMENT OVERVIEW (page 196).
1. Release the catch.
2. Lift the cover forwards, then pull
rearwards, to release the hinges.
3. Clean the filler cap with a clean, dry cloth
before removing, to prevent dirt or
moisture from entering the reservoir.
WARNING
Seek qualified assistance immediately
if brake pedal travel is unusually long,
unusually short or if there is any
significant loss of br ake fluid. Driving under
such conditions could result in extended
stopping distances or co mplete brake failure.
WARNINGS
Brake fluid is highly toxic - keep
containers sealed a nd out of reach of
children. If accidental consumption is
suspected, seek medical attention
immediately.
If the fluid comes into contact with
the skin or eyes, rinse immediately
with plenty of water.
Brake fluid is highl y inflammable. Do
not allow brake fluid to come into
contact with naked flames or other
sources of ignition (e.g. a hot engine) - a fire
may result.
Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid
level below the MIN mark.

Wheels and tyres

11.Wear rate indicator. A tyre rated at 400 for
example, will last twice as long as a tyre
rated at 200.
12. The traction rating grades a tyres
performance when stopping on a wet road
surface. The higher the grade the better the
braking performance. The grades from
highest to lowest are, AA, A, B, and C.
13. The maximum load which can be carried
by the tyre.
14. Heat resistance grading. The tyre's
resistance to heat is grade A, B, or C, with
A indicating the greatest resistance to heat.
This grading is provided for a correctly
inflated tyre, which is being used within its
speed and loading limits.
15. The maximum inflation pressure for the
tyre. This pressure should not be used for
normal driving.

WARNINGS
Defective tyres are dangerous. Do not
drive the vehicle if a tyre is damaged,
excessively worn, or incorrectly
inflated. Doing so may lead to premature tyre
failure.
Avoid contaminating the tyres with
vehicle fluids as they may cause
damage to the tyre.
Avoid spinning the wh eels. The forces
released can damage the structure of
the tyre and cause it to fail. Doing so
may lead to premature tyre failure.
If wheel spin is unavoidable due to a
loss of traction (i n deep snow, for
example), do not exceed the 50 km/h
(30 mph) point on the speedometer. Doing so
may lead to premature tyre failure.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure
stated on the sidewall of the tyre.
Over-inflation could cause the tyre to
fail suddenly.
WARNINGS
Never drive your vehicle if the tyre
pressures are incorrect.
Under-inflation causes excessive
flexing and uneven tyre we ar. This can lead to
sudden tyre failure. Ov er-inflation causes a
harsh ride, uneven tyre wear and poor
handling.
Pressure checks should only be
carried out when the tyres are cold,
and the vehicle has been stationary
for more than three hours. A hot tyre at or
below recommended cold inflation pressure is
dangerously under-inflated.

7.Switch the compressor to on ( I) and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure.
8. To check the tyre pressure, turn off the
compressor then read the pressure from
the gauge.
9. When the compressor is off, if the tyre
pressure is too high, release the required
amount of pressure using the pressure
relief valve.
10. Once the tyre is inflated to the correct
pressure, switch off the compressor and
remove the power plug from the auxiliary
socket.
•The use of the tyre re pair kit sealant may
lead to error prompts and incorrect
readings of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. Therefore, use the
tyre repair kit pressure gauge to check
and adjust the damaged tyre's inflation
pressure.
11. Unscrew the inflation hose connector from
the tyre valve, replace the tyre valve cap
and the inflation hose connector protective
cap.
12. Ensure that the tyre repair kit is placed
securely in the vehicle.
13. Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre or
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for a
replacement tyre to be fitted. Ensure that
you make the repair centre aware that the
tyre repair kit has been used before the tyre
is removed.
14. Both the tyre inflation hose, and the sealant
container should be replaced once a new
tyre has been fitted. Only sealant containers which are
completely empty should be
disposed of with normal household
waste. Sealant containe rs which contain some
sealant, and the tyre in flation hose, should be
disposed of by a tyre specialist or your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, in compliance with
local waste dispos al regulations.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
Note: Non-approved accessories may interfere
with the system. If this occurs, TYRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT is displayed in the
message centre.
WARNINGS
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
system is NOT a substitute for
manually checking ty re pressures.
The TPM system only provides a low pressure
warning and does not re-i nflate your tyres.
Tyre pressures should be checked regularly
using an accurate pressure gauge when cold.
Failure to properly maintain your pressures
could increase the risk of tyre failure, with
consequential loss of vehicle control and
personal injury.
The TPM system can NOT register
damage to a tyre. Regularly check the
condition of your tyre s, especially if
the vehicle is driven off-road.
CAUTION
When inflating tyre s, care should be
taken to avoid bend ing or damaging the
TPM system valves. Always ensure correct
alignment of the inflation head to the valve
stem.

Vehicle recovery
254

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
The recommended method for
recovery/transportation of the vehicle, is on a
transporter or trailer de signed for that purpose.
Ensure that transporta tion is carried out by
suitably qualified persons , and that the vehicle
is secured correctly.
If the vehicle is being tr ansported on a trailer or
vehicle flat-bed transporter, the parking brake
must be applied, the wheels are chocked and
the Emergency Park Re lease (EPR) operated,
to ensure that the transmission remains in N
and does not automatically select P.
Emergency Park Release (EPR)
When recovering your vehicle, it is essential
that the EPR is operated. EPR prevents the
transmission from automatically selecting P,
ensuring that the transmission remains in
neutral ( N). EPR is operated by a lever located
behind a trim panel in the cubby box. Before
activating the EPR, select P, apply the parking
brake and turn the ignition off. 1.
Open the twin cup holder lid.
2. Open the cubby box lid.
3. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, lever the
trim panel upwards (at the point indicated)
to release and remove.

being towed. Removing the remote
control will engage the steering lock, which
will prevent the vehicle from steering
correctly.
If the engine cannot be run whilst the
vehicle is being towed, there will be
no power assistance for the steering
or brakes. This will result in greater effort
being required to steer or slow the vehicle, and
greatly increased stopping distances.
CAUTIONS
The vehicle should only be towed in a
forward direction with all four wheels on
the ground.
The vehicle should only be towed for a
maximum of 0.8 km (0.5 miles), at a
maximum speed of 48 km/h (30 mph). Towing
for a greater distance or at a higher speed, may
result in serious damage to the transmission.
CAUTION
