12.3 BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CHECK
WARNING: AVOID SKIN / EYE CONTACT OR INGESTION OF BRAKE FLUID. IF SKIN OR EYES ARE ACCIDENTALLY
SPLASHED WITH BRAKE FLUID, RINSE THE AFFECTED AREA IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER
AND SEEK MEDICAL AlTENTlON IMMEDIATELY.
Checking the fluid level
CAUTION: Fluid must not be allowed to contact the vehicle paintwork. Remove any spilt fluid from the paintwork
by rinsing away with running water. Methylated spirit (denatured alcohol) must not be used to clean the contaminated area.
Correct brake fluid level is essential for the efficient oper- ation of the brake system. Check that the fluid level is be- tween the MAXand MIN marks on the fluid reservoir (Fig. 1). Top up if necessary with recommended brake fluid.
BMQ: The efficiency of the brakes may be impaired if fluid
is used which does not meet specifications. Use
ONLY brake and clutch fluid that conforms to
a mini- mum DOT 4 specification. Also do not use brake
fluid that has been exposed to atmosphere for any
length of time. Moisture absorbed from the atmos
- phere impairs the efficiency of the brake fluid.

13.4 TRUNK
13.4.1 Trunk, Description
The trunk houses the spare wheel, the battery, an electrical carrier containing electrical fuses, relays and modules and
a compact disc auto-changer attached to body bracketry. The trunk is fitted with push-fit, velour finish, liners (1 Fig. 1) to the sides and front inner panel; the trunk floor is covered with carpet attached to a removable floor board (2 Fig. 1) and a battery cover (3 Fig. I), one covering the spare wheel and wheel changing equipment, the other covering the
battery and electrical carrier.
The floor board rests on the spare wheel, the front and rear edges
of the floor board locating in blocks on the fuel tank
backboard and on the rear of the body. The blocks accommodate the two possible height settings caused by the differ- ence in thickness between the space saver and full sized spare wheels.
A tread plate (4 Fig. 1) is attached to the trunk sill and a liner is fitted to the rear of the trunk below the sill. Interior trim finisher panels are fitted to the rear lamp units accessed from the trunk opening.
The trunk lid
(5 Fig. 1) is fitted with a removable moulded liner and two trunk illumination lights; the lid is supported by two gas struts, attached through press-on fittings between the inner wheel arch and trunk hinge (6 Fig. 1). A warning
triangle is attached by a bracket to the trunk lid and retained in the open position by a rubber block (Europe inc UK only).
Trunk locking is based on a central latch and striker, operated electrically through the central locking system
by an ad- jacent actuator or by key in a barrel lock located behind the trunk lid badge.
For details on renewal
of trunk front and side liners, trunk carpet, trunk seal retainer and battery cover, see relevant

13.8.10 Tear loop Seat Belts, Description
The tear loop seat belt (Fig.1) is used to control the rate of forward travel of the occupant towards the deployed airbag
(the airbag is covered in Section 15, Electrical). The tear loop assembly is designed to release additional webbing when
the stitching, which retains the webbing loops, breaks under
a predetermined load. The wires (1 Fig. 1) within the as- sembly have the following functions:
0 To protect the stitching from 'normal' loads such as heavy braking or cornering.
o To control the rate of deployment.
0 To support the extended head following deployment.
When the passenger unit has been activated, the buckle will extend from the shroud and reveal
a warning label (2 Fig. 1); the extent of deployment will depend upon the severity of the load.
-: IF THE LABEL IS VISIBLE AT ALL (3 FIG. 3). THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY MUST BE RENEWED, AS MUST
ANY SEAT BELT WHICH HAS BEEN WORN IN AN ACCIDENT.

14.13 SYSTEM CHECKING WITH MANIFOLD GAUGE Sm
14.13.1 Evacuating the Manifold Gauge Set
Attach the centre (service) hose to a vacuum pump and start the pump. Open fully both high anddow valves and allow
the vacuum to remove air and moisture from the manifold set for at least five minutes.
Turn the vacuum pump off and isolate it from the centre service hose but do not open the hose to atmosphere.
CAUTION: It is imperative that the vacuum pump is not subjected to a positive pressure of any degree. Therefore
the pump must be frtted with an isolation valve at the centre (service hose) connection and this valve
must be closed before the pump is switched off. This operation replaces the 'purge' procedure used on
previous systems. Observe the manufacturefs recommendation with regard to vacuum pump oil
changes.
14.13.2 Connecting the Manifold Gauge Set
CAUTION: Only use hoses with connectors which are dedicated to HFC 134A charge ports.
Attachment of the hose quick release connectors to the high and low side system ports is straightfotward, provided
that the high and low valves are closed and the system is NOT operational.
Assessment of system operating efficiency and fault classification may be achieved by using the facilities on your
Re- covery / Recharging / Recycling station, follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly and observe all safety con- siderations.
WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE CONNECTIONS BE MADE WITH THE SYSTEM IN
OPERATION OR THE VALVES OPEN. SHOULD THE VALVES BE OPEN AND A VACUUM PUMP OR
REFRIGERANT CONTAINER ATTACHED, AN EXPLOSION COULD OCCUR AS A RESULT OF HIGH
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT BEING FORCED BACK INTO THE VACUUM PUMP
OR CONTAINER.
14.13.3 Stabilizing the System
Accurate test gauge data will only be attained if the system temperatures and pressures are stabilized.
Ensure that equipment and hoses cannot come into contact with engine moving parts or sources of heat.
It is recommended that a free standing air mover is placed in front of the vehicle to provide air flow through the con- denser / cooling system, see illustration below.
Start the engine, allow
it to attain normal working temperature and set at fast idle (typically 1200 to 1500 rpm). Select full air conditioning performance.
With all temperatures and pressures stable, or displaying symptoms of faults; begin relevant test procedures.
