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 lighting equipment.
o Windscreen wiper and washer operation.
o Horn operation.
o Warning light operation.
o Adjustment and cleanliness of mirrors.
o Seat and seat belt adjustment and opera- tion.
o Fluid leakage.
The vehicle must not be driven if the daily
operating checks indicate that any item of equip- ment related to the safety or roadworthiness ofthe vehicle is not functioning correctly. G030A01FC-EAT
ENGINE OIL
The correct engine oil level is of paramount
importance. An excessively high or low oil levelmay result in irreparable damage being sus-tained by the engine. The engine oil levelmust be checked on a daily basis, wheneverthe vehicle is refuelled or before starting along trip, whichever occurs sooner.
In addition, it is imperative that only an ap-
proved grade and specification of oil is used toavoid the possibility of serious engine damageand premature wear. The use of "budget price"oil is a false economy that must be avoided ifthe maximum reliability and useful life is to beobtained from the vehicle. G030B02O-EAT
Recommended Oil
1. Petrol engine
G030B01FC
The engine oil quality should meet the follow- ing classification. API SJ, SL or ABOVE, ILSAC GF-3 or ABOVE The oil viscosity should be selected accord- ing to the operating environment of the engineby means of the table shown above. Theengine oil recommendations are complete inthemselves and the use of additives is neitherrequired nor recommended. The use of en-gine oil additives may result in invalidation ofthe vehicle warranty.

5. Push the bulb spring for removing the
headlight bulb.
6. Remove the protective cap from the re- placement bulb and install the new bulb by matching the plastic base with the headlighthole. Install the dust cover after retighteningthe bulb spring and reconnect the powercord.
7. Use the protective cap and carton to dis- pose of the old bulb.
8. Check for proper headlight aim.
WARNING The halogen bulb contains gas under
pressure and if impacted could shatter, resulting in flying fragments. Always weareye protection when servicing the bulb.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the bulb base in the back of the headlight.
4. Remove the dust cover.
5. Open the bonnet.
6. Draw the vertical line (through the centreof each headlight beam pattern) and the horizontal line (through the centre of eachheadlight beam pattern) on the aimingscreen. And then, draw the horizontal parallel line at 1.18 in. (30 mm) under the horizontalline.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to the parallel line with a phillips screwdriver- VERTICAL AIMING
8. Adjust each cut-off line of the low beam to each vertical line with a phillips screw-driver - HORIZONTAL AIMING.

HEADLIGHT AIMING ADJUSTMENT
Before performing aiming adjustment, makesure of the following.
1. Keep all tyres inflated to the correct pres- sure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and press the front bumper & rear bumper down sev-eral times. Place the vehicle at a distanceof 118 in. (3,000 mm) from the test wall.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded (except for full levels of coolant, engine oil and fuel,and spare tyre, jack, and tools).
4. Clean the head lights lens and turn on the headlight (Low beam).
G290A01FC
Horizontal Aiming
Vertical Aiming
Protect the bulb against abrasions or scratches and against liquids whenlighted. Turn on the bulb only when in-stalled in a headlight. Replace the head-light if damaged or cracked. Keep thebulb out of the reach of children anddispose of the used bulb with care.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER (VIN) The vehicle identification number (VIN) is
unique to each individual vehicle and is the number (sometimes referred to as chassisnumber) used upon the vehicle registrationdocument to identify the vehicle.
It can be found on the identification plate
attached to apron panel located on the driver'sside of the engine compartment. The engine number is stamped on the engine
block as shown in the drawing. I030A01FC-EAT
TYRE PRESSURES
In modern high-speed motoring, correct tyre
pressures are vitally important. Incorrect tyrepressures can affect vehicle safety by caus-ing reduced adhesion, steering response andtyre failure through overheating. The tyrepressure must only be checked when thetyres are cold. The correct tyre pressuresare indicated on the label affixed to the driver'sside "C" piller outer panel and below.

CONSUMER INFORMATION
8-2 NOTE:
o Do not use the temporary spare tyre for tyre rotation.
o Aluminium wheels which are not sup- plied as Original Equipment should not be mixed on the same vehicle withthe original steel wheels. However, it isacceptable that the steel spare wheelbe used in conjunction with OriginalEquipment aluminium wheels since theoffset of both wheels is compatible.Radial and cross ply tyres should notbe mixed on the same vehicle.
I060A01FC-EAT
TYRE ROTATION
The tyre wear characteristics will vary be-
tween each tyre dependant upon the condi-tions of use. It is normal for the front tyres towear more rapidly than those fitted to the rearof the vehicle and therefore tyre rotation willprovide a means of helping to ensure an evenwear rate across the tyre set. For vehiclesfitted with radial ply tyres, rotation should beconfined to front to rear tyre alternation. It isnot recommended that radial ply tyres berotated from side to side. SI060A1-E
TYRE BALANCING Incorrect tyre balance will cause steering
vibration and uneven tyre wear. The vehicletyres are balanced during production but mayneed further balancing throughout the life ofthe tyres.
It is recommended that the tyres be balanced
on the car for best results and that the tyres arebalanced whenever they have been removedfrom the wheel for repair.
SI030A2-E
SNOW TYRES If it is desired to fit snow tyres to the vehicle,
it must be ascertained that the original sizeand load carrying capacity are met by thereplacement tyres. When using snow tyres,the vehicle should not be driven at speeds inexcess of 60 MPH.
SI040A1-E
TYRE CHAINS
Tyre chains, when included, should be in-
stalled on the front wheels. Be sure that thechains are the proper size and that they areinstalled in accordance with themanufacturer's instructions.
To minimise tyre and chain wear, do not
continue to use tyre chains when they are nolonger needed.
CAUTION:When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h). Tyre pressures should be increased by 3 psi
when the vehicle is driven fully laden or underconditions of sustained high speed motoring.
