Emergency Starting

121

USING BOOSTER CABLESUsing booster cables (jump leads) from a donor battery, or abattery fitted to a donor vehicle, is the only approved method ofstarting a vehicle with a flat battery. Push or tow starting is NOTrecommended!

1. If a donor vehicle is to be used, the vehicles should be parkedwith their battery locations adjacent to one another. Ensure thatthe two vehicles do not touch.

2. Apply the handbrakes and ensure that the gear levers on bothvehicles are in neutral (’P’ - Park for vehicles with automatictransmission).

3. Turn off the starter switch and ALL electrical equipment ofBOTH vehicles.

4. Connect the RED booster cable between the positive (+)terminals of both batteries.

5. Connect the BLACK booster cable from the negative (-) terminalof the donor battery to a good earth point (eg. an enginemounting or other unpainted surface), at least 0.5 m from thebattery and well away from fuel and brake lines of the disabledvehicle (see illustration).

IMPORTANT

The illustration identifies therecommended earthing pointfor your particular vehicle.

A. Donor vehicle

B. Disabled vehicle

C. Petrol engines

D. Diesel engines

For Your Safety .........DO NOT connect a boostercable to the negative (-)terminal of the dischargedbattery!

WARNING!

During normal use,batteries emit explosivehydrogen gas, sufficient tocause severe explosionscapable of causing seriouspersonal injury - ensuresparks and naked lights arekept well away from theengine compartment.DO NOT disconnect thedischarged battery.

Make sure that BOTHbatteries are of the samevoltage (12 volts), and thatthe booster cables areapproved for use with 12volt car batteries.

6. Check that the cables are clear of moving parts of both engines,then start the engine of the donor vehicle and allow it to idle fora few minutes.

7. Now start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery(DO NOT crank the engine for more than 15 seconds).

8. Once both engines are running normally, allow them to idle fortwo minutes before switching off the engine of the donorvehicle and disconnecting the booster cables. DO NOT switchon any electrical circuits on the previously disabled vehicle, untilAFTER the booster cables have been removed.

9. Disconnecting the booster cables must be an exact reversal ofthe procedure used to connect them, ie: disconnect the BLACKcable from the earth point on the disabled vehicle FIRST.

Vehicle Recovery

123

VEHICLE RECOVERYThe recommended method of transporting your vehicle is by meansof a trailer or vehicle transporter.

Lashing rings are provided at the front and rear of the vehicle,where shown in the illustration.

Suspended towIf it is necessary to tow your vehicle on two wheels (ie: suspendedfrom a recovery vehicle), it is essential that the propellor shaftconnected to the axle that is to remain on the ground isdisconnected by qualified personnel, prior to being towed.

WARNING!

The lashing rings are forlashing only and must NOTbe used for towing.

Care Points .........DO NOT secure lashing hooksor trailer fixings to any otherpart of the vehicle.

Do not tow the vehicle on twowheels without disconnectingthe appropriate propellor shaft.

Under no circumstances shouldthe vehicle be towed orrecovered by lashing to the rearsubframe. Serious damage tothe subframe and body mayoccur.

Front towing eyeUse ONLY when the vehicle is to be towed with all four wheels onthe ground.

Rear towing eyeUse ONLY when towing another vehicle.

Towing the vehicle on four wheelsIf it is necessary to tow the vehicle on four wheels;

• Turn the starter key to position ’I’ to unlock the steering andthen to position ’II’ to enable the brake lights, wipers anddirection indicators to be operated, if necessary.

• Place the gear lever in neutral.

• Release the handbrake.

WARNING!

DO NOT remove the starterkey or tun the starter switchto position ’0’ while thevehicle is in motion.

For Your Safety .........Without the engine running,greater effort will be required tooperate the brake pedal andlonger stopping distances willbe experienced.If, due to an accident orelectrical fault, it is consideredunsafe to turn the starterswitch to position ’I’,disconnect the battery beforeturning the switch.

For Your Safety .........While towing, do not exceed 30mph (45 km/h).

Removing the spare wheelUse the wheel nut spanner to remove the nuts securing the sparewheel to the carrier on the rear door, remove the spare wheel cover(if fitted) and lift off the wheel.

NOTE: In some markets, vehicles fitted with alloy wheels have alocking wheel nut fitted to each wheel, including the spare (see’Locking wheel nuts’ later in this section).

For Your Safety .........The wheels are extremelyheavy. Take care when liftingand particularly when removingor replacing the spare wheel onits mounting position on therear door.

DO NOT use the spare wheelsecuring nuts in place of theroad wheel nuts.

Operating Tip ..........On vehicles fitted with steelwheels, the spare wheel coverhas an aperture at the bottomto allow the tyre pressure of thespare wheel to be checkedwithout removing the cover.For this to be possible, thespare wheel must be placed onits mounting with the valve atthe bottom.

127

CHANGING A WHEELBefore changing a wheel, apply the handbrake and select 1st gear.Jacking on a slope is NOT recommended, but if it is unavoidable,chock the wheel diagonally opposite the one to be removed on thedownhill side, using the chock provided in the tool kit.

Positioning the jack1. Use the flat wedge end of the wheel nut spanner to lever off the

appropriate jacking point cover.2. Position the jack with the base directly under the jacking point

nearest the wheel to be removed and with the handle droppingvertically to almost reach the ground (see illustration).

3. Turn the jack screw clockwise to raise the jack until the jackhead fits snugly around the centre of the jacking point.

For Your Safety .........If possible, change the wheelaway from the mainthoroughfare.

Ensure passengers get out ofthe vehicle and wait in a safearea, away from other traffic.

Use your hazard warning lightsto alert other road users.

Ensure the jack is positioned onfirm, level ground; NEVER onsoft ground or over metalgratings and manhole covers.

WARNING!

NEVER jack the vehicle withpassengers inside, or witha caravan or trailerattached.

NEVER work beneath thevehicle with the jack as theonly means of support. Thejack is designed for wheelchanging only.

Changing the wheel

• Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel nut spanner to slackeneach of the wheel nuts half a turn.

• Turn the jack handle clockwise to raise the vehicle until the tyreis clear of the ground. Remove the wheel nuts and wheel.

• On alloy wheels, use an approved anti-seize compound to treatthe wheel mounting spigot, to minimise the tendency foradhesion between wheel and the spigot. Ensure that no oil orcompound comes into contact with the brake components orthe wheel nut threads. If, due to an emergency situation, thistreatment is not practicable, refit the spare wheel for the timebeing and treat the wheel at the earliest opportunity.

• Fit the spare wheel and tighten the wheel nuts (domed sidetowards the wheel) until the wheel is firmly seated against thehub.

• Lower the vehicle and remove the jack and wheel chock, thenFULLY tighten the wheel nuts in alternate sequence with thewheel nut spanner provided. Have the wheel nut torque checkedat the earliest opportunity.

• Refit the jacking point cover

• Refit the wheel nut cover (on steel wheels) , then remount thereplaced wheel and the spare wheel cover (if fitted) on thetaildoor.

• Finally, return the tools to their bag and strap the bag into itscradle in the engine compartment.

Operating Tip ..........On vehicles fitted with steelwheels, use the flat, wedgeshaped end of the wheel nutspanner to lever off the wheelnut cover

For Your Safety .........Avoid contact with a hotexhaust system.

After changing a wheel, havethe tyre pressure and wheel nuttorque checked as soon aspossible.

Care Points .........Avoid placing wheels facedown on the ground. This mayscratch the surface.
