RADIO AND TELECOMMUNICATIONSEQUIPMENT

Direct wiring from the battery is provided toassist the fitting of radio telecommunicationequipment. Two connectors, each with purple(feed) and black (earth) wires, emerge from thewiring loom inside the driver's compartmentimmediately behind the facia fuse box cover.12 volt, 10 Amp power outlets are provided inboth front and rear compartments for use withportable equipment.

ALWAYS ENSURE RADIO TELEPHONECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT IS FITTEDBY COMPETENT PERSONNEL AND DRAWTHEIR ATTENTION TO THIS FACILITY BUILTINTO YOUR VEHICLE

TAXIMETER

You should be aware that defects which arise inthe operation of the taximeter and the relatedvehicle electrical and electronic systems maynot be covered by warranty.

VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

The electrical systems fitted to your vehicleincorporates equipment and electronic deviceswhich are adequately protected by fuses andother forms of electrical protection to minimiseany risk of overheating or damage tocomponents of the vehicle. To prevent the riskof fire or noxious fumes resulting from incorrectelectrical modifications or the fitting of additional

equipment, modifications or additions shouldonly be made by a competent auto electrician,so that vehicle wiring is not overloaded and anyadditional equipment is positioned withadequate wiring and fuses.

Always fit fuses of the capacity indicated on thelabel fitted to the fuse box and electrical relayaccess cover. Noxious fumes from overheatingelectrical components can be dangerous wheninhaled. Never continue to operate a vehiclewhich is suspected of having an electricalfailure.

OILS, FLUIDS AND SOLVENTS

Prolonged and repeated contact with usedengine oils may cause serious skin disordersincluding dermatitis and cancer. Excessivecontact with used oils should be avoided -always use barrier cream and wash thoroughlyafter contact.Many liquids and other substances used inmotor vehicles are poisonous and should underno circumstances be consumed, or allowed tocome into contact with open wounds. Thesesubstances, among others, include anti-freeze,brake fluid, fuel, windscreen washer additives,vehicle cleaning materials, all lubricants andadhesives. Keep all such substances out of thereach of children.

Always dispose of used oils and solvents etc. atan approved Public Waste Disposal facility.Never pour such material into the publicdrainage system or allow them to seep into thesoil.

SERVICE INTERVALS

Your vehicle is designed to operate on a 10,000mile service interval. The vehicle electronicsread inputs from a number of areas. Thiscalculates if the duty cycle is intense enough torequire service before the 10,000 mile interval.(see page 52 for greater detail)

Security systems.The named Passive Anti Theft System (PATS)fitted to the vehicle are designed to minimisethe risk of unauthorised operation without usinga correctly coded remote key or ignition key. Onall models the remote key operates the centraldoor locking system. Each ignition key containsa transponder which the security systemrecognises.

An alarm upgrade system, fitted to somemodels, provides perimeter protection of thevehicle by switches covering the doors, bonnetand boot, and interior ultrasonic detection ofmovement in the driver’s compartment. Whenthis system is armed, if someone breaks into thevehicle, opens the bonnet, boot or a door, the

hazard warning lights will flash and an alarm willsound at full power for 30 seconds and thenstop, re-arming itself against any furtherintrusion. However, the engine immobiliser willcontinue to prevent the vehicle from beingdriven away.

How to turn off ultrasonic detectionIf required, the ultrasonic sensors may betemporarily switched off - press lock button 4times within 30 seconds, they will be re-enablednext time alarm is set.

Remote key fobsThe battery operated, remote key fob emits acoded radio signal which operates the securityand locking system when the key buttons arepressed while adjacent to the vehicle. Whilst thekey buttons are pressed a small light (A) in thekey will illuminate to confirm the remote key isoperating. Note: Avoid inadvertent and repeated pressingof the remote key buttons, as ultimately thiscould stop the security system respondingwithout being reprogrammed. Keep remote keys clean and dry (shake off anywater which does get onto a key beforeoperating it), and never expose the keys to atemperature exceeding 60°C (140°F).If the battery in the remote key fob becomesdischarged the small light (A) will flash when thekey buttons are pressed. When this happens,replace the battery in the remote key (see page 7) before the battery becomes fully discharged.

Remote key replacementA maximum of four remote keys can beprogrammed to operate the vehicle securitysystem. When a new or replacement remote keyis required it will be necessary for your dealer toreprogramme all the remote keys at the sametime.

Vehicle keysThe vehicle is supplied with two keys. Each keyoperates the ignition/starter switch and steeringlock, driver’s door lock and luggage door lock,the boot lid lock and the fuel filler cap lock. Eachkey contains a transponder which the securitysystem recognises. Your Main Dealer canprovide and programme more keys to yourvehicle as required.Note: When taking delivery, make a record ofthe security number on the tab attached to theKeys. This information is required should youneed to replace this key if it becomes lost ordamaged in service.Important: When starting the engine do not usethe key with other transponder keys in closeproximity, even the spare key or transponderkeys from other vehicles.Do not use the key with the key ring resting onthe key grip.

Central locking systemThe remote key is used to operate the centrallocking system. It will lock and unlock all fourdoors. However, if the remote key is inoperativeor lost, the ignition key may be used in eitherfront door to unlock that door. Note: Unlocking the vehicle doors with theignition key will not unlock the rest of thevehicle. Neither front door lock is electricallylinked to the central locking system. When thevehicle has been entered the rear doors may beunlocked using the door mounted switch shownoverleaf. Only the remote key carries out thecentral door locking function.

When the doors are unlocked by using theremote key, both front and rear doors areopened by lifting the outer door handles (C).Small indicator lights (D) behind the rear doorhandles illuminate when the taximeter is in the'for hire' mode and the vehicle is travellingbelow walking pace or stationary.

Important Note: Locking the vehicle doors withthe ignition key will not arm the security system.However, the engine immobiliser willautomatically arm when the vehicle key isremoved from the ignition/starter switch andsteering lock.Where an LTI alarm upgrade system is fitted,and the security system was armed beforeleaving the vehicle, the alarm will sound whenthe vehicle doors are opened with an ignitionkey.

Security feature 1If the vehicle has been locked by use of theremote key, using the ignition key in any frontdoor will unlock that door only.

Security feature 2When leaving the driver’s compartment to assista passenger with the swivel seat and additionalstep or wheelchair installation use the ignitionkey to lock the driver’s door.

Fuel GaugeWith the ignition switch on, the gauge indicatesthe approximate amount of fuel in the tank. 'E'indicates empty, 'F' indicates full. CAUTION: To avoid the need to 'bleed' air fromthe fuel system, always avoid any possibility ofallowing the fuel tank to run dry. If the tankshould run dry, the fuel system must be primedto exclude air (page 60) before attempting torestart the engine.

Temperature gaugeWith the ignition switch on, the gauge indicatesthe temperature of the coolant in the engine. 'C'indicates cold, 'H' indicates hot. In normaloperating conditions, the temperature gaugeneedle will take up a position in the middlesector of the gauge.

WARNING: Should the indicator remain in thered 'H' sector when driving, stop the vehicleas soon as safely possible so that the causemay be investigated at once to preventdamage to the engine. See the section "Incase of emergency" for the immediate actionrequired.

Never remove the cooling system reservoirfiller or radiator caps while the engine is hotsince there is a danger of being scalded bycoolant which may spurt out from the filler.

INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS

Warning light checkSome of the more important warning lightsilluminate as a bulb check every time the ignitionswitch is turned to position II and before theengine is started. These warning lights include:

Electrical charge (red) Brake system (red)Oil pressure (red)Motion locks system (green)Service interval control light (red)

WARNING: If the glow plug indicatorilluminates or flashes when driving,immediately reduce the vehicle speed. If itcontinues to flash, avoid heavy accelerationor deceleration. The engine will continue tooperate but at reduced power. Have thevehicle checked out by an LTI Dealerimmediately.

The green motion locks system light will onlycome on with the footbrake off.

The glow plug warning light will extinguish withina few seconds when the system is operatingcorrectly and the engine may be started. The electrical charge and oil pressure lights willextinguish when the engine is started if thesesystems are operating satisfactorily. When the engine is running, the brake warninglight will extinguish when the handbrake isreleased provided the braking system isoperating satisfactorily.

WARNING: If any indicator light fails to comeon, it may indicate an inoperative warninglight or an open circuit in the electricalsystem. The condition should be investigatedand rectified promptly.

Direction indicators. Either the left hand or righthand warning lamp will flash

green in time with the indicator lamps in thedirection determined by the direction indicatorswitch. Both lights will flash together when thehazard warning switch is on. CAUTION: If the warning light flashesincorrectly this indicates that a bulb in theindicator circuit (front, side repeater or rear) mayhave failed and should be replaced at theearliest opportunity.

High beam indicatorThis blue light comes on when theheadlamp high beam is on, and goes

out when low beam is selected.

Service interval control lightIlluminates if the vehicle electronicscalculates that the duty cycle is intense

enough to require service before the 10,000 mileinterval. Because of the way the softwarefunctions, it may illuminate soon after a routineservice has been carried out. If you need toreset the control light yourself by way ofexception, proceed as follows:switch the ignition on (position II ) withoutstarting the engine. Fully depress theaccelerator and the brake pedal simultaneouslyfor at least 15 seconds until the light flashes.Turn the ignition off.

WARNING: If the service interval control lightcontinues to flash and the engine will notstart a major engine management electronicfault is indicated. Seek dealer or roadsideassistance immediately.

Braking system indicatorThis light glows red with the ignition onand the handbrake applied, and

normally goes out when the handbrake isreleased. If the light glows at any other timewith the handbrake released, it indicates apotential condition with the braking systemwhich requires immediate investigation beforedriving, or after safely stopping the vehicle. Firstly check the brake fluid level has not fallenappreciably, indicating a leak in the brakehydraulic system. If the level is incorrect, thesource of the leak must be correctedimmediately by a competent technician beforethe vehicle is operated further.

Electrical charge indicatorGlows red when the ignition is turnedon and goes out when the engine has

been started and the electrical system is beingcharged by the alternator. Should the indicatorlight fail to go out, or come on while the engineis running, you must stop the vehicle and seekassistance.

CAUTION: The vehicle must not be driven withthe alternator drive belt failed. This can lead torapid loss of engine oil with subsequent seriousdamage to the engine. Also see the footnote tobraking system indicator.

Glow plug indicatorGlows orange when the engine glowplugs are used prior to starting the

engine (see steering lock and starter switchpage 31). The light will go out when the enginemay be started.WARNING: If the glow plug indicatorilluminates or flashes when driving,immediately reduce the vehicle speed. If itcontinues to flash, avoid heavy accelerationor deceleration. The engine will continue tooperate but at reduced power. Have thevehicle checked out by an LTI Dealerimmediately.

Rear door 'open' indicators With the ignition switched on,the left hand or right hand

indicator will flash red when the related left handor right hand rear door is not closed,supplemented by an intermittent warningbuzzer. If the vehicle is moved with a rear dooropen, the audible warning will be continuousand of higher intensity.

If the brake fluid level and pedal effort arecorrect, with the handbrake off, the light willcome on when the brake pedal is pressed toindicate the front brake pads are worn andshould be replaced as soon as possible.

CAUTION: Brake servo assistance is providedby a vacuum pump driven by the front endauxiliary drive. Should an auxiliary drive belt fail,the battery charge indicator light will illuminate.When residual brake vacuum is exhausted, brakeservo assistance will fail. Therefore you muststop the vehicle as soon as the battery chargeindicator light illuminates and seek assistance.Do not drive the vehicle in these circumstancesas full braking is not available. In addition, thiscan lead to rapid loss of engine oil withsubsequent serious damage to the engine.

Windscreen washer fluid level Glows orange when the fluid reservoirrequires replenishment.(Approximately 1.4l. remaining from

3.8l.)

Oil pressure indicatorGlows red when the ignition is turnedon and goes out when the engine has

been started and the oil reaches workingpressure. Should the indicator light not go out,or come on at any time while the engine isrunning, the engine should be stopped at thefirst available opportunity and the reason for thelow oil pressure investigated.CAUTION: Running an engine with the warninglight on could result in serious damage to theengine.

Motion locks system indicatorWith the ignition on, and the vehiclestationary with the foot brake off, the

indicator will glow green when it is possible forthe rear door to be opened from the inside. Assoon as the footbrake is applied, or the vehiclemoves off, the green indicator light will go out.The doors will remain locked until the footbrakeis released (see motion door locking system -page 35)

Low fuel level warning lightIf the fuel gauge indicates low fuel orthe low fuel warning light illuminates,

please refuel immediately.Some time after thelow fuel level warning light has illuminated, whenthe fuel reaches a very low level, the engine willstart to run unevenly as an additional warning.Proceed to the next filling station and refuel withat least 8 litres of fuel.

Failure to refuel will result in the enginerunning dry. This will lead to a difficultrestarting procedure which requires

roadside assistance. Also, serious enginedamage may occur.

WARNING: If the green light remains onwhen the footbrake is held on with the reardoors closed, or when the vehicle is inmotion, the condition should be investigatedand corrected as soon as possible.If the green light fails to come on when thefootbrake is released and the vehicle isstationary, there is a fault in the systemwhich should be investigated.

Air conditioning - general information

Turn off the air conditioning when starting thevehicle to reduce the starter motor load.

The air conditioning system works only whenthe engine is running. Moisture is removed fromthe incoming air during the air conditioningprocess and this assists the de-misting ofwindows. NOTE: When operating the air conditioningsystem in conditions of high humidity, extractedwater can cause a build up of ice in the systemwhich will restrict air flow. In such conditions theair recirculation lever (F) shown on page 24should be set and retained in its recirculationposition.

Both during and after use, it may be noted thatwater drains from the air-conditioning systembelow the vehicle and this is normal.

Air conditioning systems consume energy andincrease fuel consumption. It is good practiceto use the air conditioning system sparingly.

It is beneficial to ventilate a vehicle which hasbeen standing in extremes of heat, by firstopening the windows and then operating theheater blower at its maximum for a few minutes,with the temperature control set to cold, beforeclosing the windows and turning on the airconditioning system.

The air conditioning system should be operatedfor a minimum of 5 minutes each weekthroughout the year. This lubricates the internalcomponents and helps to maintain the seals inthe system and prevent loss of refrigerant. WARNING: The air conditioning system usesenvironmentally friendly (R134A) refrigerantand no alternative must ever be used. The airconditioning system must be serviced bytrained technicians familiar with suchsystems using the correct specialisedequipment.

Special care is particularly required whenhandling refrigerant gas, so no part of the airconditioning system or its pipes should bedisconnected by untrained personnel.

CAUTION: In most countries is an offence todeliberately release refrigerant gas to theatmosphere.

Moisture and foreign particles in the refrigerantwill have an adverse affect upon the satisfactoryoperation of the air conditioning system. Alwaysensure the receiver dryer is replaced by a trainedtechnician at the intervals specified in themaintenance section of this handbook.

The air conditioning compressor belt driven bythe engine must always be maintained at thecorrect tension. If the system fails to functioncorrectly and the compressor drive belt is ingood condition and correctly tensioned, seekthe help of a trained technician.

STARTING THE ENGINETurn the ignition key to position 'I' to unlock thesteering. If the steering lock remains engaged,slight movement of the steering wheel willrelease it. Apply the footbrake and check thegear selector lever is in the ‘P’ position(automatic transmission) or ‘Neutral’ (manualgearbox).Further movement of the key clockwise toposition 'lI' will switch on the 'glow' plugs toassist engine starting if required. The orangewarning light in the instrument panel may glowdepending on ambient temperature, indicatingthe 'glow' plugs are operating. The startermotor should not be operated until thewarning light goes out.

Further clockwise movement of the key againstspring pressure to the 'III' position on the switchwill then operate the starter motor. Release the

key to position 'll' immediately the engine firesand runs freely. Normally the starter motorshould only be operated for 5 to 6 seconds at atime. If the engine fails to start the first time,release the key to position 'll' until the engineand starter motor have ceased turning beforeagain turning the key to engage the startermotor. This procedure may be repeated a fewtimes, however, if the engine fails to start afterrepeated attempts, service attention is required.Note: The starter motor may have to beoperated for more than five or six seconds incold weather conditions.

To stop the engine, turn the key fully anti-clockwiseto position 'O'.

Note: If engine stalls for any reason you must turnthe key to position 'I' and then through position 'II'to position 'III' to start the engine. The engine willcrank over but will not restart if you try to restartfrom position 'II'.

WARNING: Never remove the key whiledriving. If the key is removed the steering willlock. The steering lock must be disengaged (key inand turned to position 'I') before releasing thehandbrake and manoeuvring the vehiclewithout using the engine. Never push thevehicle without a qualified driver in positionand with the steering lock disengaged.Remember that brake servo assistance is notavailable unless the engine is running. Freewheeling is not recommended.The steering lock/starter switch are designedto prevent the engine being started while thesteering lock is engaged.

Serious consequences could result fromalteration or substitution of the steeringcolumn lock/starter switch or its wiring.

CAUTION: The steering lock/starter switchshould not be lubricated.

Do not allow the engine to idle for an extendedperiod while warming-up; drive the vehicleimmediately the engine has started. Alwaysselect the appropriate gear so that the enginenever labours, and avoid hard acceleration andhigh speeds until the normal engine operatingtemperature has been achieved.

WARNING: For both security and safetyreasons, the vehicle should never be leftunattended with the engine running. Beforeleaving the driver’s seat, always stop theengine, apply the handbrake and engage alow gear (manual transmission) or ‘P’ - park(automatic transmission).

'N' - Neutral. Apply the brakes and select 'N'when the vehicle has come to rest.

'D' - Drive. Select this position for normaldriving. Gears will change automatically bothupward and downwards through the forwardgears according to road speed and acceleratorposition. The change up to 4th gear is controlledby means of an overdrive lock (see below).

When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed,the transmission will change down to a lowergear if the road speed is sufficiently low topermit the gear change; the transmission willchange up a gear when the accelerator is partlyreleased.

'2' - Second gear. May be selected directlyfrom 'D' Drive and will 'hold' the gear withoutallowing a change to a higher gear. Select whenrapid acceleration is required withoutdepressing the accelerator pedal, or whenengine braking is required when descendingsteep hills.

'1' - Low gear. Engagement of this gear is onlypossible after pushing in the selector lockbutton (G). This is to prevent accidental changefrom 'D' directly into '1' (low gear). Use thisgear when climbing steep hills slowly, drivingslowly through deep snow, or for maximumengine braking on very steep downhill grades.Note: Engine braking is present in both '2' and'1' gears

Overdrive lock An overdrive lock switch (H) is located on thefascia. The indicator light in the switch glowsgreen when the overdrive gear is locked out. Overdrive (4th gear) is not recommended fortown driving and under these conditions theoverdrive lock switch should be used toprevent the overdrive from being selected.

For open road cruising, operate the overdrivelock switch (warning light off) to allow thetransmission to select all four forward gearsaccording to road speed and acceleratorposition. Note: With the overdrive engaged you maynotice a slight jolt as the vehicle comes to rest;this is a characteristic of the transmission and isin no way detrimental to the performance ordurability of the vehicle.

To provide extra engine braking when drivingdown a long descending slope, use the switchto prevent the overdrive from being selected(warning light on). The overdrive should also beprevented from operating when climbing a longgentle slope. This will prevent frequent changesup and down between 3rd and 4th gears.

FILLING WITH FUELAlways use the specified fuel for your vehicle.To allow for expansion, do not fill the tank to thetop of the filler neck. CAUTION: LOW FUEL CAN CAUSE DAMAGETO YOUR FUEL PUMP. To avoid the need to'bleed' air from the fuel system, always avoidany possibility of allowing the fuel tank to rundry. If the tank should run dry, the fuel systemmust be primed to exclude air (page 55) beforeattempting to restart the engine.

CAUTION: The use of diesel/water emulsion‘Purinox/Aspira’ is prohibited.

CAUTION: The use of diesel fuels with highvegetable oil content of over 5% is prohibited.This includes products commonly described asBio-Diesel.

BRAKESThe brakes on your new vehicle will increase inefficiency as they are used during the first fewdays of driving. During this 'bedding-in' period,the pedal pressure required will diminish slightly.Never impede brake pedal travel by using looseadditional and unsecured matting.

As a safety precaution, there are two brakehydraulic systems which operate independently.Should one circuit fail, the other circuit willoperate though brake pedal travel will besignificantly increased. Push the brake pedaldown beyond the area of no resistance until thesecond hydraulic circuit operates the brakes.Do not 'pump' the brake pedal in an attempt torestore pressure.

If the vehicle has been washed, driven throughwater or over wet roads for long periods withoutusing the brakes, full braking power may not beavailable until the brakes dry out. As soon as itis safe to do so, dry out the brakes by applyingthe footbrake lightly several times while thevehicle is in motion. Keep the handbrakeapplied when using washing equipment.

WARNING: Never ignore the braking systemwarning light. If the light glows at any time withthe handbrake released, it indicates a potentialcondition with the braking system which requiresimmediate investigation before the vehicle isdriven or after safely stopping the vehicle.

Check the brake fluid level has not fallenappreciably, indicating a leak in the brakehydraulic system. If the fluid level is incorrect,the source of the leak must be correctedimmediately by a competent technician beforethe vehicle is operated further.

If the fluid level is correct, check to ensurevacuum power assistance is available .Low vacuum power assistance may beidentified by heavy brake pedal pressure. Thiscondition should be rectified by an authorisedDealer.

CAUTION: Brake servo assistance is providedby a vacuum pump driven by the front endaccessory drive belt. Should this belt fail, thebattery charge indicator light.. The vehicle mustnot be driven with the alternator drive belt failed.This can lead to rapid loss of engine oil withsubsequent serious damage to the engine.

If the brake fluid level and pedal effort arecorrect, and the light comes on when the brakepedal is pressed, it indicates that the front brakepads are worn and should be replaced as soonas possible.

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT - SPECIAL FACILITIES

41

The passenger compartment is fitted withequipment specially designed to assistpassengers with special needs to travel in safetyand comfort. The left hand occasional seat canbe swivelled into the door aperture and used inconjunction with a simply installed additionalstep to assist the entry of passengers withrestricted movement.

Provision has also been made to accommodatemost type of hand operated and some powerassisted four wheeled wheel chairs. The rearseat cushions are hinged to assist wheel chairentry, and to allow one side of the seat to beused by another passenger, while leavingadditional space available for the wheel chairuser when required. To assist in loading a wheel chair, an integralramp is provided in the passenger compartmentfloor. The additional step mentioned previouslyalso acts as an extension for the integral rampwhere the kerb loading height is low.

It is essential that the equipment is used withcare and that the loading and unloadingprocedures are correctly followed. In all casesreassure the passenger about the equipment, byexplaining how it is to be used, and protect yourpassenger by ensuring they do not contact thedoor aperture etc., as they manoeuvre into, andout of the vehicle.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

1. Wheelchairs must always be carried in therecess to the left hand side of the centre divisionwith the passenger facing the rear of the vehicle.The wheelchair restraining belt, passenger seatbelt, and extender belt provided must always beused. WARNING: Never carry a wheelchair passengerunrestrained, positioned sideways or facingforwards as the wheelchair and passengercannot be adequately restrained in thesepositions.

2. Wheelchair passengers must always besecured with the seat belt and extender beltprovided, as the wheelchair restraint belt doesnot provide adequate security to the passenger.The seat belt should be threaded through thewheel chair as necessary so that it lies over thepassenger’s right shoulder before being clippedinto the extender belt and routed across thepassenger’s pelvis to clip into the lower buckle.The belt should never be fitted across the top ofthe wheelchair arm rests.

3. Even under light braking, acceleration andcornering, an unrestrained wheelchair occupantcan fall out of the wheelchair. While wheelchairbrakes should be applied when the chair hasbeen correctly positioned in the vehicle, they arenot an adequate restraining system.

4. Harsh driving can cause many disabledpeople to slide in their wheelchairs; often theyare unable to reposition themselves and this cancause discomfort or even physical damage. It istherefore extremely important to try to avoidhard acceleration, braking or cornering.

5. To prevent any risk of the wheelchair userfalling out of the wheelchair, the wheelchairshould only be loaded or unloaded with thepassenger facing the vehicle using the left handdoor (and ramps as required-see below).

6. Load a wheel chair passenger where theroad and kerb are level. It is always preferable topick up wheel chair passengers at a kerb so thatthe integral wheel chair ramp may be usedwithout its extension. CAUTION: Where there is no kerb, or the kerbheight is below 125 mm (5 in.) the rampextension must be used both to prevent damageto the integral ramp, and to reduce the effortrequired to load the wheel chair.

To avoid the risk of the passenger coming intocontact with the door aperture etc., never rushthe loading process or allow a powered wheelchair to be driven into the vehicle unsupervised.

Additional StepAn additional step is provided and stored in theboot. When it is necessary to help thepassenger enter the vehicle, position the vehicleslightly away from the kerb so that the step canbe slid into the brackets (A) located on thevehicle chassis below the left hand rear dooraperture. Position the door closing stop bracket(B) to the right and in its upright position, beforepushing the step fully home into the brackets.When the passenger is seated correctly, pull outthe step and store it in the luggagecompartment adjacent to the driver, until it isrequired again at the end of the journey.

NOTE: Periodically clean and grease the interiorfaces of the brackets (A) to ensure the step sidesreadily into position.

Swivel seat and additional stepThe fold-down occasional seat fitted to the lefthand side of the passenger compartmentswivels round into the door aperture to provideimproved access for passengers with limitedmovement . The seat and its passenger canthen be swivelled into the vehicle and the seatlocked into position.The additional step mayalso be used in conjunction with the swivel seatas required.

Release the seat by opening both left handdoors before pulling the seat catch knob (C)situated to the front of the centre division. Pullthe seat down and round into the door apertureuntil the cushion locks in the down position andthe lock strut stops further rotation. Return theseat a few degrees until a lock stop is felt. Theseat is now safe for operation.

Assist the passenger onto the seat. To unlock,swivel both seat and passenger outwards untilthe strut stop is reached again. The seat andpassenger can then be swivelled into the vehicleuntil the latch engages.

At the end of the journey, release the seat catchand swivel the seat and its passenger into thedoor aperture until the lock strut stops furtherrotation. Return the seat a few degrees until alock stop is felt. The seat is now safe foroperation. Assist the passenger to leave thevehicle and return the seat to its normalposition, ensuring the seat retaining latch isengaged.

NOTE: The cushion will remain in the downposition until the seat is latched back to thedivision in the travelling position.

Starting the engine with jump leads

WARNING: Batteries produce combustiblegases. Keep sparks, flames and cigarettesaway from batteries at all times. Avoidcontact with battery acid. In case of eye orskin contact, wash the affected area withclean water and seek medical attentionimmediately. When handling batteries do nottilt as acid might come out of the ventilationopenings. Wear hand and eye protection.

Battery boostingA high-speed battery charger must never beused as a starting aid.

CAUTION: The following procedure must beobserved to avoid the possibility of irreparabledamage to the sophisticated electric andelectronic equipment fitted to the vehicle. Donot allow the cable terminals to touch either ofthe vehicles or the other cable terminals. Do notlean over the batteries when jump starting.

Before connecting an additional battery to boosta discharged battery in the vehicle, ensure that:

1. The booster battery is of the same nominalvoltage (12 volt) and approximately the samecapacity as the vehicle battery. The dischargedbattery should remain connected and allelectrical circuits switched off.2. The interconnecting cables are of sufficientcapacity to carry a starting current (normal carstarting jump leads are not adequate).

3. Where the booster battery is fitted to anothervehicle, the two vehicles must not be in contactwith each other and all electrical circuits on theboth vehicles should be switched off.

4. The cables should then be connected one ata time and in the following sequence.

Donor battery + (positive) to discharged battery+ (positive)Connect the second lead-to the front lifting eyeof your vehicle. On the other vehicle connect itas far away as possible from the battery of theother vehicle (to the engine block or a lifting eye)unless connecting to a stand alone battery.

Do not connect to the negative terminalof the flat battery.

Note: on connection, the vehicle security alarm(where fitted) will operate and should bedisarmed using the radio key.

5. Start the engine of the recipient vehicle in thenormal manner. Allow the engine to run at justabove idle speed (1000-1500 r.p.m.) for a fewminutes before carefully disconnecting eachlead from the recipient and booster batteries inthe reverse sequence:

From discharged battery - (negative) then fromdonor battery - (negative)

From discharged battery + (positive) then fromdonor battery + (positive)

Vehicle must be run for 15 minutes beforeturning engine off

Have the discharged battery and the vehiclecharging system checked by your Dealer at thefirst opportunity.

If the battery has been disconnectedthe vehicle may exhibit some unusualdriving characteristics for approximately

5 miles (8km) after battery reconnection. Thisis due to the automatic relearning of theengine management system and may bedisregarded.The radio must bereprogrammed with the appropriate keycode.

Used batteries contain sulphuric acidand lead. On no account must they bedisposed of in the household waste.

Use your local authorities dedicated wastedisposal facilities.

EURO 33



Battery chargingA high speed charger may only be used if thebattery has been completely disconnected fromthe vehicle electrical system. Certain types oflow maintenance batteries, for example the leadcalcium type, can be damaged by high speedchargers. If in doubt, consult your Dealer.When charging a battery in the vehicle from atrickle charger ensure that:

1. The charger output voltage is the same asthe nominal voltage as the battery fitted to thevehicle (12V).

2. The charger + (positive) lead is connected tothe + (positive) terminal of the battery, and thecharger - (negative) lead is connected to the -(negative) terminal of the battery.

OVERHEATING

WARNING: To avoid injury from escapingsteam and scalding coolant, the pressurerelief cap (A) of the expansion tank and theradiator cap (B) must not be removed whilethe system is hot. Particular care must betaken to ensure no loose clothing (a tie, etc.)can get caught in any rotating parts whilethe bonnet is open.

Move the vehicle off the road, apply thehandbrake and hazard lights. Select neutralgear or 'P' park (automatic), apply thehandbrake and keep the engine running for afew minutes while you follow the procedurebelow.

If the charging and brake warning indicatorlights are on, the probable cause of theoverheating condition will be a broken or loosedrive belt causing both the cooling fan andalternator to stop rotating. The engine should bestopped immediately and you should seekassistance to recover the vehicle. WARNING: The vehicle should not be drivenin this condition as it could cause severe lossof oil from the engine with further damage.

If the electrical system charge light remains off,keep the engine running and open the windows.Turn both heater blower motors to theirmaximum speed, with the heater temperaturecontrol to maximum heat and the airconditioning system (where fitted) off.

Carefully open the bonnet (to avoid injury fromsteam, boiling coolant and rotating parts) andcheck whether the cooling fan is operating or ifthere is an immediate sign of a coolant leak.(burst hose or connection etc.)

Where the cooling fan is operating and there isno apparent loss of coolant, allow the engine toidle for a few moments and then stop theengine.

Allow the engine to fully cool down with thebonnet open. If clean water is available, top upthe coolant reservoir (see cooling systemmaintenance) before proceeding to the nearestgarage so that the cause of the overheating canbe investigated.

If the cooling fan is not operating or there is aserious loss of coolant due from a burst hose orconnection, turn off the engine and seekassistance to recover the vehicle.

FUEL TANK EMPTYYour vehicle is equipped with a system thathelps prevent the complete emptying of the fueltank.

If the fuel gauge indicates low fuel or thelow fuel warning light illuminates, pleaserefuel immediately.

Some time after the low fuel level warning lighthas illuminated, when the fuel reaches a verylow level, the engine will start to run unevenly asan additional warning. Proceed to the next fillingstation and refuel with at least 8 litres of fuel.

Failure to refuel will result in the enginerunning dry. This will lead to a difficultrestarting procedure which requires

roadside assistance. Also, serious enginedamage may occur.

LUBRICATIONAlways use high quality oils and greases of thecorrect specification shown in the table below.The use of incorrect or poor quality lubricantscan lead to high oil and fuel consumption, andultimately may cause damage to components.Engine oils of the correct specification containadditives which disperse the corrosive acidsformed in combustion and prevent the formationof sludge which can block oil ways. Additionaladditives should not be used.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECKThe oil consumption of your engine is influencedby many factors. New engines reach the normalvalue only after approximately 3,000 miles(5,000 km). Diesel turbocharged and highperformance engines consume slightly morethan engines of lesser performance. Under highloads, high vehicle speeds and extended idlingyour engine will also consume more oil.

Check the engine oil every week and whenrefuelling or prior to long journeys. Make surethe vehicle is standing on level ground. Switchthe ignition off and walt some minutes for theengine oil to flow back into the sump (in coldoutside temperatures or when the engine hasnot reached operating temperature this mighttake longer). A cold engine should not bestarted before checking the engine oil. Pull thedipstick out, wipe it with a clean, non-fluffycloth, re-insert it completely and pull it out oncemore.

If the level lies between the marks, there is noneed to refill. Hot oil may exceed the MAX markby some millimetres due to thermal expansion.If the level is at the MIN mark, refill using onlyengine oil meeting the correct specification.Approximately 2.0 litres of engine oil will raisethe level of the oil film on the dipstick from theMIN to the MAX mark. Top up to only the uppermark (MAX). For further details, refer to thechapter General Information.

ENGINE OIL FILLER CAP To open, turn in the direction of the arrow andpull. Do not open the cap while the engine isrunning.

Do not use oil additives or other enginetreatments. They are unnecessary and could,under certain conditions, lead to enginedamage which is not covered by the LondonTaxis International warranty.

To close, turn the cap clockwise until it clicks.(Empty and used oil containers must not bedisposed of in the household refuse waste. Useyour local authorised waste disposal facilitieswhen disposing of these).

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Fluid levelThe transmission fluid should be at normaloperating temperature with the vehicle standinglevel. Start the engine with the handbrake andfootbrake applied. Run the engine for 2 to 3minutes at idle speed, passing the selector leverthrough the complete range of positions two orthree times, pausing for about 10 seconds ineach position to ensure the transmission is fullyprimed.

Select 'P' (Park) position and keep thehandbrake applied. Leave the engine running atidle speed, remove the dipstick (A) which issituated to the right hand side of the engineadjacent to the engine compartment rearbulkhead, and wipe it clean with a clean paperwiper. Reinsert the dipstick all the way beingcareful to insert it in a position to allow it tomanoeuvre the bend in the dipstick tube.

Remove the dipstick again and check the fluidlevel, which should be in the cross lined sector(B) marked on the 'HOT' side of the dipstick. Ifthe level is near the low end of the sector, addsmall amounts of fluid of the correctspecification through the dipstick tube until thelevel is to the high mark. Do not fill above thetop of the cross hatched sector marked on thedipstick.

Parking pawl engagement check.With the vehicle standing level, switch off theengine, release the handbrake and move theselector lever to 'P' (park). Attempt to push thevehicle forwards and backwards; the vehicleshould not move. Consult your LTI Dealer if thevehicle moves.

WARNING: You will be checking the fluidwith the engine running. Take great care toavoid the turning drive belt and pulleys. Stopthe engine immediately when you havecompleted the level check. Any fluidreplenishment must be carried out with theengine stopped.

STEERING AND SUSPENSIONThe steering linkage and suspension require noroutine maintenance in service but should beexamined at regular intervals by an authorisedLondon Taxis International dealer to check thecondition and security of the rear axle 'U' bolts,suspension and front crossmember fixings, andthe steering and suspension ball joints andbushes.

Front wheel alignment should be checked at theregular specified distances or at any time if thefront tyres show any signs of abnormal wear.

Front, rear and steering dampers should bereplaced at 36,000 mile intervals. The frontwheel bearings should also be examined, re-greased or replaced as necessary at the samemileage.

CLUTCH AND BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS

Brake and clutch fluidsAlways use brake fluid which complies with thespecification FMVSS 116 DOT 4 to top up theclutch and braking system reservoirs. Never useany other type of brake fluid for this purpose.Brake fluid performance deteriorates in service. • Never leave brake fluid in unsealed containers

as it absorbs water quickly and can bedangerous if used in a braking system in thiscondition.

• Fluid drained form the brake and clutchsystems should always be discarded safely.

• The necessity for absolute cleanliness inhandling brake fluid and components cannotbe over-emphasised.

CAUTION: Brake fluid will damage paint work.

Clutch fluid reservoirWipe the reservoir body clean and check theclutch fluid is to the level marked on the side ofthe reservoir body.

If additional fluid is required, remove the cap (A),remove the anti surge cup from inside thereservoir and top up to the fluid mark on thereservoir body. Replace the anti-surge cup andcheck the vent hole in the cap is clear beforereplacing the cap.

Brake fluid reservoirWipe the reservoir body clean and check thebrake fluid level relative to the 'max' and 'min'marks on the side of the reservoir body. If thelevel is below the 'max' mark, remove thereservoir cap (B) and top up the reservoir withnew brake fluid of the correct specification. Thebrake fluid level will drop in service as the brakepads and shoes wear. Any substantial loss offluid should be investigated in case of a possibleleak in the brake hydraulic system.

Brake and clutch system maintenanceUnder normal conditions brake fluid should bechanged completely every 81,000 miles or 3years (whichever occurs first). Where the vehicleis frequently subjected to severe hilly operatingconditions, involving heavy braking overprolonged periods, the brake fluid should bereplaced each year.

All fluid seals in the hydraulic system and allflexible brake hoses should be renewed at81,000 miles or 3 years (whichever occurs first).

At the same time the working surfaces of thepistons and bores of the master cylinder, frontcalipers and rear wheel cylinders should beexamined and new parts fitted where necessary.

Your vehicle is equipped with alead/calcium battery. When replacingthe battery use only a lead/calcium

battery of the type listed by LTI parts. Noother battery is to be used. Contact your LTIDealer or local authority for battery anddisposal replacement.

Cleaning battery terminals.From time to time the battery terminals shouldbe cleaned. With the ignition switch off,unclamp and pull off the terminals (remove theearth (black) terminal first. Clean the terminals,apply petroleum grease, and replace and tightenthe terminal clamps (earth terminal last). Resetthe vehicle time clock.

CAUTION: Never disconnect the battery fromthe vehicle if the engine is running as this couldcause severe damage to the electrical system.Note: on connection, the vehicle security systemalarm (where fitted) will operate and should bedisarmed using the remote key or key pad.

COOLING SYSTEMWARNING: To avoid injury from escapingsteam and scalding water, the radiator capand the pressure relief cap of the expansiontank must not be removed while the systemis hot.

Clean water may be used temporarily if coolantcontaining the specified antifreeze corrosioninhibitor (see below) is not available. Do notoverfill the expansion tank as this will result incoolant loss through the overflow pipe as thecoolant expands with increasing enginetemperature.CAUTION: The cap fitted to the radiator is not apressure cap. It must never be replaced with apressure cap of any type.

Frost and corrosion precautionsIn production your vehicle was filled with anantifreeze solution to minimise internal corrosionin the engine cooling and heater systems, and toprovide protection against frost damage.

Because of the different materials used in theengine and cooling system components, toprevent corrosion it is essential that only SuperPlus 2000 antifreeze solution is used in service.

This is a long life coolant and the cooling systemshould be drained, flushed through and refilledwith new antifreeze solution every 5 years.

Follow the instructions given on the antifreezecontainer to determine the mixing ratio ofantifreeze to water to be used for the lowestanticipated temperature which may beanticipated (a minimum of 50% by volume isrecommended).

Have your Dealer check the specific gravity ofthe antifreeze solution every year sometimebefore winter conditions are likely to beexperienced. The overall concentration ofantifreeze should not fall below 50% by volume.The approximate quantities of antifreezerequired are shown in the table below.CAUTION: To protect the engine and coolingsystem components from corrosion, antifreezesolution should always be used in the coolingsystem even when ambient temperatures aresuch that freezing conditions are not normallyexperienced.Never use antifreeze solution in the windscreenwasher systems

TYRESSpecial 'taxi' tyres are fitted in production andshould always be fitted as replacements. Crossply and remoulded tyres should not be used.The tyre pressures should be checked eachweek (including the spare) when the tyres arecold. The recommended tyre pressures are:

Front 35 psi (2.4 bar)Rear 40 psi (2.7 bar)

See tyre size, type and rating on generalinformation page.

The condition of the tyres should also bechecked each week for any sign of damage,foreign material, or deterioration which couldaffect the operation of the vehicle.

WARNING: Driving with tyres incorrectlyinflated can be hazardous and causes rapidtyre wear and possible permanent damage tothe tyre casing.

Valves and valve caps.Valve caps should be fitted back after checkingtyre pressures as they prevent the entry of dirtand water into the valves and form an additionalair seal.

Tyre care and wearThe tyres should be checked frequently fordamage or wear. The greater the depth of tread,the greater the water clearing properties of thetyre, resulting in increased levels of grip.

In many markets the maximum wear levels aresubject to legal requirements. Where no suchlocal regulations exist, it is recommended thattyre tread depth should never be allowed to fallbelow 1.6 mm.

The tyres incorporate raised bars across thebottom of the treads to indicate tyre wear (A),the positions of which are marked 'TWI' roundthe shoulder of the tyre at regular intervals.These bars become flush with the tyre surfacewhen there is approximately 1.6 mm of treadremaining and the tyres are at their wear limit.

Excessive local damage may result from strikinga kerb, hitting an obstruction or deep pot hole,each of which can seriously affect the tyrecasing. Such damage will normally be visiblefollowing careful examination of the tyre treadand wheels.

Incorrect wheel alignment resulting from kerbingor hitting an obstruction etc. may result in anuneven wear pattern across the tread patternand around the whole tyre circumference.Where this is suspected, the wheel alignmentshould be checked by your Dealer.

Flints, sharp stones and other sharp objectsshould be carefully removed from the tyre treadusing a penknife or similar tool. If neglected,they may work through the tyre.

Any oil or grease which gets on to the tyresshould be cleaned off using petrol sparingly(take care when disposing of the cloth used as itwill be highly inflammable). Do not use paraffin(kerosene) which has a detrimental effect onrubber.

WINDSCREEN WIPERS AND WASHERS

Wiper bladesWindscreen wiper blades should be replaced atregular intervals or if they become damaged bythe action of road dirt and salt. Never use thewipers to clear frozen snow or ice from thewindscreen as this will damage the lips of theblade and adversely affect the wipingperformance.

BODY CARE AND CLEANING

London Taxis International Dealers carry a widerange of vehicle care products which have beenchosen because of their excellent performancein maintaining the appearance of the vehicle inservice.

Interior• Regularly vacuum or brush off the seats.

Clean stubborn marks with diluted upholsterycleaner following the instructions on thecontainer. Avoid a rubbing action whencleaning upholstery.

• Clean seat belts by sponging with warmwater, using a non detergent soap. Never usecleaners incorporating bleaches, dyechemical cleaners or detergents on seat beltsas this will affect their performancecharacteristics adversely. Allow seat belts todry naturally.

• Clean carpets with a brush or vacuumcleaner. Occasionally clean carpets withdiluted upholstery cleaner. Rubber matsshould be cleaned with water.

• Clean the windows with a clean soft cloth andglass cleaner, or chamois leather. The rearscreen should always be cleaned with care.To avoid damage to the heating elements,cleaning should be in line with and not acrossthe heating wires.

• Clean the acrylic screen of the centre divisionwith a dilute solution of liquid dish washingsoap. Do not use glass cleaners on acrylicsurfaces.

• Clean trim panels with a soft damp cloth.Remove stubborn marks with facia andbumper cleaner.



66

ExteriorGreat care is taken in production to useprocesses and materials which minimise theeffects of corrosion.

However, there are a wide range of possiblecauses of damage to the painted surfaces whichare not the responsibility of the manufacturer.These include stone and gravel impact, naturaland industrial fall out such as bird droppingsand tree sap, road debris, oil, tar and salt usedfor de-icing roads etc. all of which can causepaint and body damage to your vehicle.

The detrimental effects of body damage can bereduced by simple care and attention assuggested below:

• Regularly wash the body work and wheel trimswith a soft sponge and plenty of water using agood quality 'wax and wash' shampoo. Neveruse dish washing detergents or householdcleaning fluids as they may damage the paintfinish.When the vehicle is particularly dirty, beforestarting detailed cleaning, carefully wash offany excess dirt and grit with a hose orwatering can to prevent scratching the paintsurface finish.

CAUTION: High pressure washing equipment(particularly when the water jet is applied closeto the vehicle) can damage parts of the vehicleand cause permanent leaks due to the distortionof seals. Care should be taken to avoid directing thewater jet on the following areas of the vehicle:

Wheel hubs and all braking system componentsand handbrake cablesFuel filler cap and sealExhaust system and outletDoor and body seals, seams and grommets, including the lights and hire sign

Steam cleaning is not recommended as this canaffect the underbody protection and othercomponents. When necessary, hot pressure washing with amaximum temperature of 40°C and 80 p.s.i(55 bars), should be used to clean the undersideof the vehicle.• Use a proprietary car polish from time to timeto retain the appearance and lustre of the paintwork. Use a high quality wax polish every monthto protect and increase the scratch resistance ofthe paint finish.Note: scratch marks always tend to be morevisible on dark coloured vehicles and regularwax polishing will help to retain the paint lustre.

The headlight lenses are made of acrylicmaterial. Use a good quality ‘wax and wash’shampoo to clean the headlights. Do not useglass cleaners on acrylic surfaces, particularlythe interior partition glazing.

• Remove salts, road oil and tar, tree sap andbird droppings etc. and other damagingmaterials as soon as possible to prevent themfrom damaging the painted surfaces (use petrolor white spirit to remove tar from paint work).

• Promptly repair and touch up any damagedue to minor scratches and stone chipping etc.

• Ensure any accident repair work is performedby (or arranged through) an LTI Dealer so thatthe manufacturer’s recommended repairprocedures, corrosion protection materials andgenuine LTI parts are always used.

• Use LTI glass cleaner to remove windscreensmears. Clean the front and rear bumpers usingLTI facia and bumper cleaner.

Maxi Fuses There are three high rate ‘maxi’ fuses locatedunder the bonnet near the battery. Two of these(A) (Ignition and Battery) protect the entire fusedpart of the vehicle, and one (B) (Glow Plugs)protects a single very heavy current circuit. Ifany of these three fuses ‘blows’ this mayindicate a serious concern and we advise you totake your vehicle to an authorised London TaxisInternational Dealer immediately.Each fuse is marked with its fuse rating andshould be pulled directly out of position forexamination. If the fuse wire has broken, fit areplacement with the same rating. Whenreplacing a fuse, turn off the switch controllingthe equipment it protects.

If a newly fitted fuse 'blows' immediately it isfitted or when the equipment it protects isswitched on, and the cause of the problem isnot immediately apparent, the equipment shouldbe examined by your Dealer.

Fuse ratingsThe fuses used have the following ratings andcolour codes:

5 A - orange 20 A - yellow10 A - red 25 A - white15 A - blue 30 A - Green

Maxi Fuses60 A - blue 40 A - orange

WARNING: Fuses are fitted to protect thevehicle wiring from overheating and theconsequential risk of fire. A 'blown' fusemust only be replaced with a fuse of thecorrect rating as shown on the fuse boxlabel. Never use a fuse of a higher rating asthis could lead to damage to electricalequipment or cause the wiring to overheat.Do not attempt to repair a broken fuse.

LTI VEHICLES AND DGB STERLING LIMITED DINITROL® 6-YEAR ANTI-CORROSION PROGRAMME

During the manufacture of your vehicle it was protected against inside-to-outside corrosion using DINITROL® anti-corrosion materials provided by

DGB Sterling Limited.

Following the initial registration of your vehicle, information was passed to DGB Sterling Limited for them to register your details for the 6-year Anti-

Corrosion programme for your vehicle. Full compliance with this programme enables DGB Sterling Limited to guarantee your vehicle against inside-

to-outside corrosion for a period of six years from the date of first registration.

Within approximately six weeks from the date of first registration of your vehicle you should receive from DGB Sterling Limited a guarantee booklet

which will explain in more detail the full terms and conditions of this 6 year anti-corrosion programme. If you do not receive this information, please

contact your supplying Dealer without delay so that this can be corrected.

For the 6-year Anti-Corrosion programme to remain valid, body service retreatments must be carried out at 1, 3 and 5 years from the date of

registration of the vehicle. These have to take place at an LTI Vehicles and DGB Sterling Limited approved retreatment centre who will then affix the

DINITROL® guarantee treatment validation stamp to the guarantee booklet. As part of the DGB Sterling Limited service package, before the first

body service is due, they will send you a reminder to have the anti- corrosion retreatment carried out.

In line with all other routine servicing, the body service retreatment will be charged for, but we are certain that you appreciate that this will add to the

value of the warranty package that accompanies all LTI Vehicles.

May we also remind you that if any parts of the bodywork covered by the guarantee are replaced or repaired following accident damage, these parts

must be treated at the time of repair using DINITROL® anti-corrosion materials for the guarantee to remain valid.

This guarantee is in addition to and does not in any way affect or limit the statutory rights of the owner of the vehicle.
