The pressure of the spare tyre should be checked at the first available oppor-tunity. If any doubt exists as to the tyre pressure, the vehicle should be driven slowly to the nearest service stationand the tyre pressure checked and adjusted as required. If the valve cap is lost from any of thevalves, a replacement should be ob- tained and fitted at the first available opportunity. The valve cap preventsthe ingress of dirt which may cause the valve to stick and therefore leak and is part of the valve sealing function.

SD100A2-E Automatic Transaxle Vehicle The vehicle may be towed by the con- ventional method using the towing eyeat the front of the vehicle as an attach- ment point. In addition, a suspended tow may begiven to the front of the vehicle without a towing dolly. In the event of a sus- pended tow being given to the rear ofthe vehicle, the use of a towing dolly is imperative. o NOT OK FOR AUTOMATIC
TRANSAXLE EQUIPPED VEHICLE
o OK FOR MANUAL TRANSAXLE
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 assis-tance is derived from the engine, the amount of effort required tostop or steer the vehicle will be greater than normal.
o If a suspended tow is being given to the rear, the ignition key mustbe at the "ACC" position since the steering lock is not designedto 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 theground for more than thirty miles.
! CAUTION:
The following restriction must be observed in order to avoid serious damage to the transaxle . The vehicle must never be towedfrom the rear with the front wheels on the ground. The vehicle must not be towed untiltransaxle fluid has been added to bring the level up to the "HOT" marking on the dipstick. (The levelwill need to be reduced again after towing).

D120A01A-EAT Information about the key of immobiliser system will be found on page 1-4.
The vehicle must not be towed atspeeds faster than 25 mph. or dis- tances greater than fifty miles. Thegeneral points regarding the steer- ing lock etc. described in the pre- ceding section (Manual transaxlevehicle) should be observed.
D080D03A-EAT EMERGENCY TOWING For emergency towing when no com- mercial tow vehicle is available, attach a tow cable, chain or strap to one of the towing hooks under the front/rear ofyour car. Do not attempt to tow your vehicle in this manner on any unpaved HLC4014surface. This may result in serious damage to your car.Nor should it be attempted if the wheels, drive train, axles, steering or brakes are damaged. Before towing, be surethe transaxle is in neutral and the key in "ACC" (with the engine off) or in the "ON" position (with the engine run-ning). A driver must be in the towed car to steer it and operate the brakes.
CAUTION:
If the car is being towed with all fourwheels on the ground, it can be towed only from the front. Be surethat the transaxle is in neutral. Do not tow at speeds greater than 25 mph(50 km/h) and for more than 15miles (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 and brakes.

G030D02A-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 the level from the minimum to maximum level is approximately 1 litre (PetrolEngine)/ 1.2 litres (Diesel Engine).ZG030E1-A ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION Function of engine oil Engine oil has the primary function of lubricating and cooling the inside of theengine. 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.

ING AND REPLACING
CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en- gine will be hot. Care should beexercised to prevent scalding.
!
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced oil and remove the drain plug from the sump.
!
4. When the oil has drained from thesump, replace the drain plug using a new washer ensuring that the plug isnot over tightened. Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating coun- terclockwise, using a proprietary oil filter removal tool if necessary. Note that the oil filter will contain approxi-mately 0.3 litres of oil and this should be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil androtating clockwise until the filter con- tacts the mounting and then a furtherone half turn. Do not over-tighten. WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oils may result in seri- ous skin disorders including derma-titis and cancer. Avoid contact with skin as far as possible and always wash thoroughly after any contact.Keep used oils out of reach of chil- dren. It is illegal to pollute drains, water courses and soil. Use onlyauthorized waste collection facili- ties including civic amenity sites and garages for the disposal of usedoil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact the local authority for disposal in- structions. Tightening torque:
Petrol -
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
Diesel - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recommended oil into the engine and replace the filler cap. Start the en- gine and ensure that no oil leaksexist. Turn off the engine and after a couple minutes, recheck the oil level.

12SPARKING PLUG REPLACEMENT
G060A01L Prior to installing a sparking plug, the gap between the centre and outer elec- trodes must be checked and adjusted as necessary.Adjustment is facilitated by bending the outer electrode towards or away from the centre electrode. Under no circum-stances should attempts be made to adjust the position of the centre elec- trode.
4. Insert the sparking plug into the cyl-
inder head and using a suitable plug socket, slowly rotate the sparkingplug, (being careful not to cross- thread), until the plug contacts the seating area. Tighten the plug withthe plug socket by a further 1/2 to 3/ 4 of a turn only.
3. Clean around the base of the plug to
be removed, and install the plugsocket ensuring that the ceramic insulator does not become damaged.Turn the socket counterclockwise to remove the plug.
CAUTION:
Sparking plugs must only be cleaned using purpose designed equipment.Wire brushing may damage the cen- tre electrode insulator causing mis- firing to occur. Only the correct gradeof sparking plug should be used. Use of an incorrect grade may result in serious engine damage.
!
SG060A1-E (Petrol Engine Only) This operation should only be performed when the engine is cold.
1. Remove the centre cover from the
engine rocker cover (DOHC Engine only).
2. Remove plug lead from the sparking
plug to be replaced, pulling the leadby the rubber cap. (Pulling the lead may damage the carbon conductor.) 0.039~0.043 in. (1.0 ~ 1.1 mm )

19CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
!
SG130A1-C To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when per-forming other under bonnet checks. The system should be checked for leakage at the same time.Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on the fluid reservoir. Fillas required. Fluid loss indicates a leak in the clutch system which should be inspected and repaired immediately.
WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic andshould never be stored in an un- sealed container. The presence of water in the braking system will causevapour locks and increase the possi- bility of brake fade along with pro- moting corrosion within the brakingsystem. The brake fluid must be changed at the specified time or mile- age interval to ensure continued safeoperation of the system. Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious damage to paintwork. If accidental spillageoccurs, the affected area must be rinsed with water immediately. Do not allow brake fluid to come intocontact with the eyes or to be in- gested and ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach of chil-dren.
AX60240A-D
!
SG130B2-E Adding Fluid Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or DOT 4 should be used. Thereservoir cap must be fully tightened to avoid contamination from foreign mat- ter or moisture.
! CAUTION:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never be stored in an un- sealed container. Do not allow petro-leum base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid since damage to the rub- ber seals of the system may result.
WARNING:
Brake fluid will cause rapid and seri-ous damage to paintwork. If acciden-tal spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsed with water immedi- ately. Do not allow brake fluid tocome into contact with the eyes or to be ingested and ensure that fluid is safely stored away form the reach ofchildren.
