3- 6 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
SD060A1-E IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE If a puncture occurs whilst driving the vehicle:
1. Bring the car to rest as soon as it is
safe to do so and with the minimum amount of braking required which will assist in maintaining the maxi- mum amount of control. The vehicleshould be parked wherever pos- sible upon firm level ground to facili- tate wheel changing.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not per-mit the wheel to be changed safely,assistance should be sought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to
remain inside the vehicle duringwheel changing. If a puncture oc- curs whilst the vehicle is on a motorway, the passengers shouldtake refuge on the motorway em- bankment to avoid the possibility of injury occurring should the vehiclebe struck by other motorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be per-
formed according to the followinginstructions.
SD050A2-E SPARE WHEEL (Not all models) The spare wheel is stored under the luggage compartment floor and is ac-cessed from within the luggage com- partment by lifting the carpet and the floor panel.To remove the spare wheel, unscrew the retainer, rotating this in an anti clockwise direction and lift out thewheel. To replace the wheel, screw the retainer by hand until tight having located the wheel in the luggage com-partment floor well. The inflation pres- sure of the spare wheel should be checked at least monthly and when-ever the wheel is fitted to the vehicle.

CAUTION:
o Do not use snow chains with your temporary spare tyre.
o Do not use more than one tempo- rary spare tyre at a time.
!
5. The temporary spare tyre should
not be used on any other wheels, nor should standard tyre, snow tyre,wheel covers or trim rings be used with the temporary spare wheel. If such use is attempted, damage tothese items or other car compo- nents may occur.
6. The temporary spare tyre pressure should be checked once a monthwhile the tyre is stored.

SD070D1-E 2. Block the Wheel Block the wheel that is diagonally op- posite from the flat tyre to prevent the vehicle from rolling when the car israised on the jack.
Take out the jack case and tool bag, then remove the spare tyre from the luggage room. NOTE: The jack case is located on the spare tyre in the vehicle.
Hang the luggage room mat to the mat hanger and remove the luggage under tray (If installed)

SD070F1-F 4. Put the Jack in Place The base of the jack should be placed on firm, level ground. The jack should be positioned as shown in the drawing.
SD070G1-E 5. Raising the Car After inserting a wrench bar into the wheel nut wrench, install the wrench bar into the jack as shown in the draw- ing. To raise the vehicle, turn the wheelnut wrench clockwise. As the jack be- gins to raise the vehicle, double check that it is properly positioned and willnot slip. If the jack is on soft ground or sand, it may be necessary to place a stout piece of timber under the base ofthe jack to prevent it from sinking. Raise the car high enough so that the fully inflated spare wheel can be in-stalled. HFC4022

WARNING:
Do not get under the car when it is supported by the jack! The jack is solely designed for wheel chang-ing and is not intended to support the vehicle for other purposes. The use of purpose designed supportsis necessary whilst the vehicle is raised and the operator is required to get underneath.

Nuts
Lower the car to the ground turning the wheel nut wrench counterclockwise. When the vehicle is firmly on the ground, remove the jack and tightenthe wheel nuts securely. At the first available opportunity, the wheel nut torque should be checked with a suit-able torque wrench. Wheel nut tightening torque Steel wheel & aluminium alloy wheel: 90-110 Nm, 100 kg.cm (65-80 lb.ft)
SD070I1-E 7. Re-install Wheel NutsFit the wheel nuts onto the studs and tighten with the wheel brace.
HTB227
Using the wheel brace, remove the nuts and slide the wheel off the hub and wheel studs. Lie the wheel flat toprevent it from rolling. Ensure that the faces of the wheel and hub are clean. Position the spare wheel over the studsand slide it up to the hub.
HTB229
WARNING:
It is important that the faces of the wheel and hub are clean prior toinstalling the wheel. The prescence of dirt or other matter in the wheel or hub faces could result in thewheel nuts becoming loose whilst the vehicle is being driven.

CAUTION:
The following restriction must be observed in order to avoid seriousdamage to the transaxle . The vehicle must never be towed from the rear with the front wheelson the ground. The vehicle must not be towed until transaxle fluid has been added tobring the level up to the "HOT" marking on the dipstick. (The level will need to be reduced again aftertowing). 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 lockwill be activated.
o Because the brake system and
steering system power assistanceis derived from the engine, the amount of effort required to stop or steer the vehicle will be greater thannormal.
o If a suspended tow is being given to
the rear, the ignition key must be atthe "ACC" position since the steer- ing lock is not designed to withstand the force required to hold the frontwheels straight during the tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with
the front wheels on the ground formore than thirty miles.

D120A01A-EAT IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS Information about the key of immobi- lizer system will be found on page 1-4.CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with allfour wheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Besure that the transaxle is in neu- tral. Do not tow at speeds greater
than 30 mph (50 km/h) and for more
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 vehicle to operate the steering andbrakes.
!
(3)Attach a tow cable, chain or strap to
one of the tie-down hooks under the front of your car.
D080D01TB-AAT EMERGENCY TOWING For emergency towing when no com- mercial tow vehicle is available. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in thismanner 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 enginerunning). 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.
HTB196
HTB211 CAUTION
It should be tightened firmly with your fingers until there is no moreplay in the towing hole. Towing hook is located in the jack case on the spare tyre.

G030D01TB-EAT ENGINE OIL REPLENISHMENT
If the indicated oil level is at or below the lower mark of the dipstick, oil should be added until the level is at or below the upper mark.To add oil to the engine, remove the filler cap by rotating in an counterclock- wise direction and pour engine oil intothe engine. Before checking the level again, allow several minutes for the oil to drain into the sump. Replace the oilfiller cap rotating it in a clockwise direc- tion until tight. The quantity of oil required to raise thelevel from the minimum to maximum level is approximately 1.2 litre.ZG030E1-E ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of engine oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside of the engine. Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should con- sume some engine oil while normal driving. The cause of oil consumption in a normal engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pis-
tons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves down- wards in the cylinder. High negativepressure generated during engine operation sucks some of the oil into the combustion chamber.This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high tempera- ture combustion gases during thecombustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly
effected by the viscosity and qualityof oil, engine rpm and driving condi- tion etc.
