3- 12 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
!
CAUTION:
The following restriction must be
observed in order to avoid serious
damage to the transaxle .
The vehicle must never be towed
from the rear with the front wheels
on the ground.
The vehicle must not be towed until
transaxle fluid has been added to
bring the level up to the "HOT"
marking on the dipstick. (The level
will need to be reduced again after
towing).
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 lock
will be activated.
o Because the brake system and
steering system power assistance
is derived from the engine, the
amount of effort required to stop or
steer the vehicle will be greater than
normal.
o If a suspended tow is being given to
the rear, the ignition key must be at
the "ACC" position since the steer-
ing lock is not designed to withstand
the force required to hold the front
wheels straight during the tow.
o The vehicle must not be towed with
the front wheels on the ground for
more than thirty miles.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 5- 9
F070E03A-AAT
o Automatic transaxle fluid
The fluid level should be in the "HOT" range of the dipstick, after engine and transaxle are at normal operating tem- perature. Check the AutomaticTransaxle Fluid level with the engine running and the transaxle in neutral, with the parking brake properly ap-plied. Use DIAMOND ATF SP-III or SK ATF SP-III when adding or chang- ing fluid. 6ZF070F1-A
o Brake hoses and lines
Visually check for proper installation, chafing, cracks, deterioration and any leakage. Replace any deteriorated ordamaged parts immediately. 6ZF070G2-A
o Brake fluid
Check brake fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. The level should be between "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the side of the reservoir. Use onlyhydraulic brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4. 6ZF070H1-A
o Rear brake drums and linings/ parking brake
Check the rear brake drums and lin-
ings for scoring, burning, leaking fluid, broken parts, and excessive wear. Inspect the parking brake system in- cluding the parking brake lever andcables. For detailed service proce- dures, refer to the Shop Manual.
6ZF070J1-A
o Brake pads, calipers and
rotors
Check the pads for excessive wear,
discs for run out and wear, and cali-pers for fluid leakage.
6ZF070K1-A
o Exhaust pipe and muffler
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
muffler and hangers for cracks, dete- rioration, or damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaust gas leakage. Tighten connections orreplace parts as necessary. 6ZF070L1-A o Suspension mounting bolts Check the suspension connections for looseness or damage. Retighten to the specified torque. 6ZF070M1-A o Steering gear box, linkage &
boots/lower arm ball joint
With the vehicle stopped and engine off, check for excessive freeplay inthe steering wheel.Check the linkage for bends or dam-age. Check the dust boots and balljoints for deterioration, cracks, or dam- age. Replace any damaged parts. 6ZF070N1-A
o Power steering pump, belt and hoses
Check the power steering pump and hoses for leakage and damage. Re-place any damaged or leaking parts immediately. Inspect the power steer- ing belt for evidence of cuts, cracks,excessive wear, oiliness and proper tension. Replace or adjust it if neces- sary.

6- 6 DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE
SG020B1-E
DAILY OPERATING CHECKS
The following items should be checked
on a daily basis or whenever the vehicle
is refuelled, whichever occurs sooner.
o Engine oil level.
o Engine coolant level.
o Power steering fluid level.
o Brake fluid level.
o Windscreen washer fluid level.
o Battery condition.
o Tyre condition and pressures.
o Operation and cleanliness of all light-
ing equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer opera- tion.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mir- rors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and operation.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the
daily operating checks indicate that
any item of equipment related to the
safety or roadworthiness of the vehicle
is not functioning correctly. G030B02A-EAT
Recommended Oil
1. Petrol engine
A multi grade oil having a specification
which meets A.P.I. specification of SG
or above is recommended. The oil vis-
cosity should be selected according to
the operating environment of the engine
by means of the table shown in the
illustration. The engine oil recommen-
dations are complete in themselves
and the use of additives is neither
required nor recommended. The use of
engine oil additives may result in invali-
dation of the vehicle warranty.
G030A01FC-EAT
ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of para-
mount importance. An excessively high
or low oil level may result in irreparable
damage being sustained by the engine.
The engine oil level must be checked
on a daily basis, whenever the vehicle
is refuelled or before starting a long trip,
whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an
approved grade and specification of oil
is used to avoid the possibility of seri-
ous engine damage and premature wear.
The use of "budget price" oil is a false
economy that must be avoided if the
maximum reliability and useful life is to
be obtained from the vehicle.
