These cars use hydraulic system mineral oil in the hydraulic systems. The in formation contained within this section highlights important notes, warnings and precautions listed elsewhere in this manual. This section should be used as a quick reference guide to any features considered essential for the safety of either the operator or the vehicle . The li st is not exhaustive. In the interests of health and hygiene. items norma ll y used in service workshops such as anti- freeze, brake fluid. lubrican t s. adhesi ves, cleaning agents, etc., should all be treated with extreme caution.

Towing the vehi cl e Before towing the vehicle note the following. l a) Do not tow the vehicle to start the engine. (b) Do not tow the vehi cle if any mechanica l damage to the transmI ss ion is suspected. tc) Do not tow the vehicle with a low fluid level in the torque convener transmission. Should it be necessary to tow the vehicle for even a short dis tance a solid tow bar must be used. A speed of 72 k.p .h . t 45 m.p.h. ) and a maximum distance of 80 kilometres (50 miles ) must not be exceeded.
