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.

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).
