STEERING WHEEL LOCK
When the ignition key is removed, the steering
wheel lock will be activated. The lock only engages at one position of the steering wheeland therefore it will be possible to turn the wheeluntil this position is reached. It is not, however,necessary for the lock to be engaged beforeleaving the vehicle since in the event of at-tempted unauthorized removal, the lock willengage when attempts are made to steer thevehicle.
Should it be difficult to turn the key from the
"LOCK" position, it may be found that rockingthe steering wheel to and fro whilst turning thekey will assist.
CAUTION: Never remove the key from the ignition lock
whilst the vehicle is in motion since the steering mechanism lock will be activated.
"START"
The engine is started in this position. It will
crank until you release the key.
NOTE: Do not hold the key in the "START" position
for more than 15 seconds. "ON"
When the key is at the "ON" position, the
ignition and all accessories are available for use. If the engine is not running, the key shouldnot be left at this position since the battery willbecome discharged and damage to the ignitionsystem may also result. For information regard-ing engine starting, refer to "STARTING THEENGINE". "ACC"
When the ignition key is at the "ACC" position,
the radio and other accessories may be used."LOCK"
The ignition key may only be inserted or re-
moved at this position.

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 main-taining the maximum amount of control. Thevehicle should be parked wherever possibleupon firm level ground to facilitate wheelchanging.
2. If the vehicle is creating a hazard and the road conditions do not permit the wheel tobe changed safely, assistance should besought.
3. Passengers must not be allowed to remain inside the vehicle during wheel changing. Ifa puncture occurs whilst the vehicle is on amotorway, the passengers should take ref-uge on the motorway embankment to avoidthe possibility of injury occurring should thevehicle be struck by other motorway traffic.
4. Wheel changing should be performed ac- cording to the following instructions. HPD070A1-E
CHANGING A FLAT TYRE
It is of the utmost importance that care isexercised when changing road wheels. Ensurethat the parking brake is set and that the gearshift lever is in reverse (P, if the vehicle hasautomatic transmission).

4. Loosen Wheel Nuts
The wheel nuts should be loosened slightly before raising the car. To loosen the nuts, turn the wheel brace counterclockwise. When doing this, be sure that the socket is seated com-pletely over the nut so it cannot slip off. Formaximum leverage, position the wheel brace sothe handle is to the right as shown in thedrawing. Then, whilst holding the wheel bracenear the end of the handle, pull up on it withsteady pressure. Do not remove the nuts atthis time. Just loosen them about one-half turn.

it only at the specified points indicated in the "Put the Jack in Place".
Use of the jack at other points could damage
the car.
Moving the jack handle up and down to raise
the ram.
As the jack begins to raise the vehicle, double
check that it is properly positioned and will notslip.
Raise the car high enough so that the fully
inflated spare tire can be installed. To do this,you will need more ground clearance than isrequired to remove the flat tire. Using the jack handle, turn the release valve
counterclockwise slow to lower the ram, andthen take out the jack.

OWNER MAINTENANCE 6-5
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 counterclockwise direction andpour engine oil into the engine. Before checkingthe level again, allow several minutes for the oilto drain into the sump. Replace the oil filler caprotating it in a clockwise direction until tight.
The quantity of oil required to raise the level
from the minimum to maximum level is approx-imately 1 litre (Petrol Engine)/1.4 litres (DieselEngine). G350A01A-EAT
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Function of engine oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricat-
ing and cooling the inside of the engine.
Engine oil consumption It is normal that an engine should consume
some engine oil whilst normal driving.
The causes of oil consumption in a normal
engine are as follows;
o Engine oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil is left on the cylinder wall when a piston moves downwards in thecylinder.High negative pressure generated duringengine operation sucks some of this oil intothe combustion chamber. This oil with some oil of the cylinder wall is burned by the high temperature combustiongases during the combustion process.
o The engine oil consumption is strongly ef- fected by the viscosity and quality of oil,engine rpm and driving condition etc. More engine oil may be consumed under severe driving conditions such as highspeeds, frequent acceleration and decelera-tion, compared to normal driving.

To replace the oil and filter, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the engine is at normal operat- ing temperature and park the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake securelyapplied and the engine turned off.
2. Open the bonnet and remove the oil filler cap.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to collect the displaced oil and remove the drain plug fromthe sump.
CAUTION: The oil being drained from the engine will be
hot. Care should be exercised to prevent scalding.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump, replace the drain plug using a new washer ensuring that the plug is not over tightened. Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating counter- clockwise, using a proprietary oil filter re- moval tool if necessary. Note that the oilfilter will contain approximately 0.5 litres ofoil and this should be collected in a suitablereceptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and rotating clock-wise until the filter contacts the mountingand then a further one half turn. Do not over-tighten. Tightening torque: Petrol Engine - 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.mDiesel Engine - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recom- mended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the engine and ensure thatno oil leaks exist. Turn off the engine andafter a couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
WARNING: Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils may result in serious skin disor-ders including dermatitis and cancer. Avoidcontact with skin as far as possible andalways wash thoroughly after any contact.Keep used oils out of reach of children. It isillegal to pollute drains, water courses andsoil. Use only authorized waste collectionfacilities including civic amenity sites andgarages for the disposal of used oil and oilfilters. If in doubt, contact the local authorityfor disposal instructions.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECKING AND REPLACING
WARNING: Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, since the system is pressur-ized and coolant may be ejected from theradiator resulting in scalding. SG050B1-E
Coolant recommendations Only ethylene glycol based coolant with a cor- rosion inhibitor suited to aluminium alloy enginecomponents should be used in the coolingsystem. No further additives or inhibitors shouldbe used. The coolant specific gravity should bechecked as prescribed in the maintenanceschedule to ensure adequate frost and corro-sion protection. In addition, the engine coolantmust be replaced at the specified interval sincethe corrosion inhibitor properties deteriorate withtime. It is important to note that whilst an increase in the concentration of anti freeze gives an in-crease in the level of frost protection, a solutionwhich is in excess of 65% anti freeze will resultin reduced frost protection and engine over-heating. Therefore the recommended concen-tration of 50% should not be exceeded forgeneral use.The use of methanol based anti freeze com-pounds may result in engine overheating andwill invalidate the vehicle warranty.

OWNER MAINTENANCE

the vehicle should be placed on level ground and the level plug removed with a suitablespanner.
2. If the level is correct, lubricant should begin to drip from the plug orifice. In this case theplug should be replaced. If the level is incorrect, lubricant should be added until it begins to drip from the plugorifice at which time the plug should bereplaced.
To Check the Transmission Oil Level
SSA6100B
Park the car on level ground with the engine off.
1. Using a wrench of the correct size, loosen the oil filler bolt turning it counterclockwise and remove it with your fingers.
2. Use your finger to feel inside the hole. The oil level should be at its bottom edge. If it isnot, check for leaks before adding oil. Torefill the transmission or bring the oil level

WINDSCREEN WASHER RESERVOIR
REPLENISHMENT The level of windscreen washer fluid available
should be checked on a daily basis. The level of fluid will be visible through the side of thereservoir. When the fluid is to be replenished,only a proprietary screen wash additive shouldbe used and in the concentration recommendedby the manufacturer. The windscreen washerreservoir has a total capacity of 4.5 litres.
CAUTION: Engine coolant anti freeze must not be used
in the windscreen washer system since dam- age to the paintwork may result.
Undiluted windscreen washer additive must
not be allowed to come into contact with thepaintwork. If spillage occurs, flush the af-fected area immediately with water. Do notoperate the windscreen washer for more than 15 seconds continuously or when thereservoir is empty since damage to thewasher pump will result.
