VEHICLE RECOVERY - PUSHING AND
TOWING
Vehicle recovery should always be performed
using a vehicle designed for the purpose.
An emergency towing eye which is stowed with
the jack and wheel changing tools is to be fitted
to the front of the vehicle to one side of the
number plate when required as shown in the
illustration. No other parts of the vehicle should
be used for emergency towing.
WARNING: Extended towing of the
vehicle with a tow rope, regardless of
type, is not recommended. The towing
eye is provided for emergency purposes only
and should only be used to move the vehicle
a few yards so that it is not an obstruction to
other traffic.

P R O C E D U R E S
When moving the vehicle without the engine
running, the normal power assistance to the
brake and steering systems is not available.
Greater steering and brake pedal effort are
required and the braking distance will be
substantially extended.
If the vehicle has to be towed or pushed it is
essential that the steering lock is released by
inserting the ignition key and turning it to
position (I) where it should remain while the
vehicle is being moved. Never push or tow a
vehicle unless a qualified driver is at the
controls.
EIV 0027 Towing a vehicle with automatic transmission
EIV 0027
will cause serious damage to the
transmission unless the rear wheels are
suspended or the propshaft is removed to
stop the transmission from rotating.
WARNING: You must never attempt to
tow start or push start an LTI product
under any circumstances.
The engine electronics will not permit this
and you may also cause permanent damage
to the drive train (engine, transmission and
axles). In addition you may put yourself and
others at risk.
EMPTY FUEL TANK
If you allow the vehicle to run out of fuel, after
replenishing the fuel tank, bleed the fuel system
as described in the maintenance section of this
book (see - Bleeding air from the fuel system)
before attempting to start the engine.

WARNING LIGHTS

Should any of the red warning lights in the
instrument cluster come on while the vehicle
is being driven it indicates a problem which
requires the vehicle to be stopped as soon as
is practicable consistent with safety so that
the condition may be investigated. The
warning lights cover:
Brake system Electrical charge
Oil pressure Rear door open
The procedure to be followed is described in the
'Instruments and controls' section of this
handbook.

BATTERY

Battery polarity

The electrical installation of the vehicle is
NEGATIVE (-) earth return and the correct
polarity must be maintained at all times.
Reversed polarity will permanently damage the
electrical and electronic equipment fitted.
Always check any equipment fitted has the
correct earth return polarity for installation in the
vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
lead/calcium battery. When replacing
the battery use only a lead/calcium
battery of the type listed by LTI parts.
Contact your LTI Dealer or local authority for
battery and disposal replacement.
