0 2.1 JACKING AND LIFTING
2.1.1. Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed when
raising the vehicle to perform service operations:
0 Whenever possible use a ramp or a pit in preference
to a jack, when working beneath a vehicle.
0 Never rely on a jack to support a vehicle; use axle
stands or blocks under the vehicle jacking points to
provide rigid support.
0 When working beneath a vehicle, chock the wheels in
addition to applying the handbrake.
0 Ensure that the vehicle is standing on firm, level
ground before using the jack
0 Check that any lifting equipment used has adequate
capacity for the load being lifted and is in full working
order.
2.1.2 Jacking Points
The jack provided in the vehicle toolkit engages with jacking
points situated below the body side members, in front of the
rear wheels (Fig.
1) and behind the front wheels (Fig. 2).

2.1.3 WheeLFree L i#t
Use of a wheel-free lift is recommended for maintenance operations. Support the vehicle using lifting pads at the four
jacking points (Fig. 3).

2.2 VEHICLE RECOVERY
8 2.2.1 General
m: Prior to vehicle recovery, always ensure the vehicle
keys are available and the vehicle security system is
'OFF'.
The safest and preferred method of vehicle recovery is by
flat bed transporter, although a rear suspended tow may
also be used.
The front and rear towing eyes are provided for use only in
an emergency to move the vehicle
if it is causing an
obstruction, on police instructions, or, when winching the
vehicle onto a recovery transporter.
m: A towing shackle cannot be fastened to the front
towing eye until the grille vane has been removed.
To do this, remove the (three) quarter
-turn fasteners
securing the grille vane (Fig. I), and place the vane
safely to one side. The towing shackle may now be
secured to the towing eye.
0 When thevehicle is being towed (see Towing Recovery), the
gear lever must be set to neutral, 'N' (see Gear-shift Inter- lock) and the ignition key turned to position 'II'to release the
steering lockand renderthe indicators, horn and brake lights
operational.
2.2.2 Gear-shift Interlock
The gear selector lever may only be moved from the park 'F" position by turning the ignition key to position '11' on the key
switch and applying pressure to the footbrake pedal.
To remove the ignition key from the key switch, the gear
selector lever must be moved to park
'P. With the key removed, the gear selector lever will be locked
in park
'P'.
2.2.3
In the event of electrical failure or when moving the vehicle
without power, the gear selector lever can be manually
unlocked from park
'P'. Below the left-hand side of the 'J' gate (Fig. Z), is the gear- shift interlock manual release catch. With a flat bladed
screwdriver, remove the plug, arrowed (Fig. 2). Insert
ignition key and press down catch whilst simultaneously
moving the gear
-shift lever from 'P' position.
Gear-shift Interlock - Manual Override
U: Gear-shift lever can only be moved approximately
25mm with the key still inserted.
Remove key and replace plug. Fig.

gg Jacking, lifting & Vehicle Recovery
2.2.4 Transporting
If thevehicle is being transported on a trailer or flatbed transporter (Fig. I), the handbrake must be applied, the wheels
chocked and if fitted with an automatic transmission, the gear selector lever moved to neutral, 'N' (see Gear-shift
Interlock).
e
JOS-031
Fig. 1
CAUTION: Do not select 'P' because the parking lock mechanism may be damaged by the continuous slight forward
and backward movement of the vehicle on the transporter.
There are four tie-down brackets on the vehicle underbody. Do not attach the tie down hooks of the transporter to the
towing eyes of the vehicle.
2.2.5 Towing Recovery
Adhereto local regulationsforthetowing ofvehicles. In certain countriesthe registration number ofthetowing vehicle
and an 'ON TOW sign or warning triangle must be displayed in a prominent position at the rear of the vehicle which
is being towed.

*The vehicle may be towed by another for a SHORT DISTANCE ONLY (maximum
0,8km / O.Smile), with the gear lever
in neutral (N) provided that a speed of 48 km / h (30 mile / h) is not exceeded.
2.2.6
The vehicle must be towed with the rear wheels clear of the ground, see suspended towing.

4.1.5 FAULT DIAGNOSIS
4.1.5.1 Introduction
The following diagnostic procedures are provided to assist properly qualified persons to identify and rectify the faults
in the system which are most likely to be encountered. Reference is made to the Electrical Diagnostic Manual (EDM),
which should be consulted for all electrical faults. When investigating faults relating to temperature, the prevailing
ambient temperature conditions should be taken into account. The climate control system is dealt with in Section 14.
