WARNING
NEVER REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STATIONARY. NEVER ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE AND WAITING FOR THE HYDRAULIC LOW PRESSURE WAR-
NING LAMP TO GO OUT. IF THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING, THE STEERING
WILL NOT HAVE POWER ASSISTANCE AND THERE MAY BE NO RESERVE OF PRESSURE AVAILABLE TO OPERATE THE FOOTBRAKE. THERE IS ALSO ARISK OF THE STEERING LOCK ENGAGING AND THE SAFETY FEATURES NOT OPERATING IF THE IGNITION IS NOT SWITCHED ON. ONLY IN AN

Advice
Vehicles equipped with a Turbo:
Turbo equipped engines MUST be allowed to return to idle for several seconds before switching off the ignition. Failure to do so could cause serious damage to the turbo unit.
Flicking the throttle pedal as the ignition is turned off can lead to severe damage to the turbo unit.

BRAKESII-3

Lowering the handbrake lever without releasing the handbrake. Engage the handbrake firmly and de-clutch the lever by pulling the release button out. To return the lever to its nor-
mal position, pull it upwards until the pawl engages.When the lever is de-clutched, the warning lamp will remain lit indicating that the handbrake is not released. Handbrake
To create a passage between the front seats, the handbrake lever is mounted
to the right of the driverÕs seat. The handbrake is operated by pulling the lever firmly up - pressing the foot-
brake will reduce the effort required to apply the handbrake. The handbrake is capable of holding the vehicle on all slopes likely to be
encountered but increased effort will be needed on steep slopes.
In all circumstances, as a precautionary measure, engage first gear.On steep slopes, turn the steering towards the kerb.
To release the brake, pull the lever lightly up, press the button on the end of the lever and return the lever to the fully down position. The warning lamp will come on if the handbrake is on or not fully released when the
engine is running .

AIR CONDITIONING*III-2

Air conditioning
The air conditioning system will only operate with the engine running. Press the switch Aon the dashboard.
A warning lamp confirms that the system is switched on.
For the air conditioning to be fully effective, the windows should be closed. The system contains a non-polluting CFC sub- stitute. If after a prolonged stop in direct sunlight the inside of the car is hot, leave the windows openfor a few minutes to provide a rapid air change,then close them.
Air recycling
To obtain the most effective cooling in the pas-senger compartment in very hot conditions,select the recycling position. Set control Bto the left, and place the heater
blower control Din the mid-way position.
It is recommended that the control not be left in the recycling position for longer than necessa-
ry. The normal position will provide a conti-nuous fresh air supply to the passenger com-partment. Rapid demisting Switch on the air conditioning.Set the control to the fresh air position and air flow to
maximum.Select the demisting position using control C.
Set the temperature control to maximum. Note: A normal consequence of having the air conditioning turned
on is that water condenses on the surface of the air conditioner. This drains out through a specially provided hole and may form apuddle under the car when parked.
To maintain effective operation of the compressor seals, ope- rate the air conditioning at least once a month. The air conditioning is useful even in winteras it can be used to
remove moisture from the air.

Emergency starting with a slave battery
A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started with either a slavebattery or the battery of anothervehicle. For safety reasons, it is essential that the slave battery is connectedstrictly following the sequence
described below.
A Positive terminal on a vehiclewhich has broken down. (underthe bonnet)
B Slave battery
C
Earth point on broken down vehicle.
Ensure that the voltage of the slave battery is correct (12 volts).
When using the battery of another vehicle, its engine should be switched off. The two vehicles must not be allowed to
come into contact with each other. Connect the battery cables in the ordershown in the diagram, ensuring a good contact is made (to avoid the risk of
sparks occurring).Start the engine of the assisting vehicle and let it run at a fast idle for about a minute.
Then start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery. Advice Do not touch the cable clamps during the procedure.Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in the reverse order to connection, ensuring that they do not touch each other.

BEWARE
Never expose a battery to a naked flame or spark (explosive gases present).
The battery contains dilute sulphuric acid which is corrosive.
When handling a battery, protect the hands, eyes and face. In case of contact with the skin, rinse immediately and abundantly with clean water.
Removal Disconnect the battery leads, negati- ve lead first and then remove the
securing clamp to release the battery. Refitting Reconnect the battery starting with the positive lead first. If the vehicle is not used for a prolonged period If the vehicle is to be taken out of use for periods of more than onemonth, the battery should be dis-connected.
* According to model or country Precautions Ensure that the posts and terminals are clean. If they become sulphated, dis- connect and clean them. Never disconnect the leads while the engine is run-ning. Never recharge the battery without first disconnecting the leads. Do notoperate electrical equipment before the engine has reached its operating tem-perature. Starting the engine for the first time after disconnecting and connecting the battery:
- Switch on the ignition.
- Wait 10 seconds before operating the starter to allow the electronic systems
to be reinitialised following the disconnection of the battery. Enter the radio security code*.
Charging a battery The voltage must never exceed 15.5 volts and the charging current must never exceed 20% of the rating marked on the battery casing. For example: L1 250 - Setting: 50 amps maximum.The battery charge period should not exceed 24 hours.Only battery chargers with a constant, regulated voltage output should be used. If the vehicle is used in hot conditions (30¡C and higher) If the battery is fitted with filler plugs, the electrolyte level should be checked
periodically. The electrolyte should just cover the plates. Top up if necessary
using distilled water.
