LIFTING AND TOWING

08-3

Remove the propeller shaft fixings, remove the shaft
from the vehicle.

If the front axle is to be trailed turn ignition key to
position '1' to release steering lock.

The steering wheel and/or linkage must be
secured in a straight ahead position. DO NOT use
the steering lock mechanism for this purpose.

Towing eyes
The towing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle
are designed for vehicle recovery purposes only and
must NOT be used to tow a trailer or caravan.

Front:A single towing eye, set behind a removable
panel in the front spoiler. DO NOT use the front
lashing rings for towing.

Rear: A pair of towing eyes at the rear of the vehicle
can be used as lashing rings and for towing another
light vehicle.

TRANSPORTING

Transporting by trailer

Front lashing eyes

Rear lashing eyes

Lashing eyes are provided on the chassis
longitudinals, at the front (behind the front wheels)
and at the rear (behind the rear wheels).

DO NOT secure lashing hooks or trailer fixings to
any other part of the vehicle.

Position the vehicle on the trailer and apply the
handbrake. Select neutral in the manual gearbox ('N'
on automatic gearbox). Selecting 'N' will prevent
damage to the parking pawl in the automatic
gearbox.

Fluids

Anti-freeze
Use Havoline Extended Life Coolant (XLC), or any
ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no
methanol) with only Organic Acid Technology (OAT)
corrosion inhibitors, to protect the cooling system

CAUTION: No other anti-freeze should be used
with Havoline Extended Life Coolant.

The cooling system should be drained, flushed and
refilled with the correct amount of anti-freeze solution
at the intervals given on the Service Maintenance
Check Sheet.

After filling with anti-freeze solution, attach a warning
label to a prominent position on the vehicle stating
the type of anti-freeze contained in the cooling
system to ensure that the correct type is used for
topping-up.

Brake/Clutch fluid
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid.

PAS fluid
Use Texaco cold climate power assisted steering
fluid PSF 14315.

ACE fluid
Where ambient temperature falls below -20

°

C (-4

°

F), use only Texaco cold climate power assisted
steering fluid PSF 14315. Where ambient
temperature remains above -20

°

C (-4

°

F), use either

Texaco cold climate power assisted steering fluid ,
Dexron 11 or Dexron 111 non-synthetic fluid.

Air conditioning
Use only refrigerant R134a.

Refrigerant oil
Use only Nippon Denso ND-oil 8.

Refrigerant oil absorbs water and must not be stored
for long periods. Do not pour unused oil back into the
container.

NOTE: The total quantity of refrigerant oil in the
system is 180 ml.

CAUTION: Do not use any other type of
refrigerant oil.

Anti-Freeze Concentration

The overall anti-freeze concentration should not fall,
by volume, below 50% to ensure that the anti-
corrosion properties of the coolant are maintained.
Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not
recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.

The following recommended quantities of anti-freeze
will provide frost protection to -48
