When replacing the battery or when carrying out work involving the electrical system, the following
should be observed:
●
A battery connection to the wrong terminal will damage the diodes. Before connections are made,
check the polarity of the battery with a voltmeter.
●
If booster batteries are used for starting. They must be properly connected to minimize The risk of the
diodes being damaged. For correct connection, see "Jump starting" section.
●
Never disconnect the battery circuit (for example, to replace the battery) while the engine is running,
as this will immediately ruin the alternator. Always make sure that all the battery connections are
properly tightened.
●
If any electrical-welding work is performed on the vehicle, the ground lead and all the connecting
cables of the alternator must be disconnected and the welder cables placed as near the welding point as
possible.
WARNING!
Do not drive with trunk lid open!
Poisonous exhaust gases may enter via the open trunk lid.
If the trunk lid must be kept open for any reason, proceed as
follows:
●
Close the windows.

CAUTION: Driving through standing water

engine could result if excess water is ingested through the air intake system. Never drive the vehicle in
water deeper than 1 foot (300 mm).
pg. 48 Points to remember
Weight distribution affects handling
At the specified curb weight your car has a tendency to understeer, which means that the steering wheel
has to be turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvature of a bend. This ensures good
stability and reduces the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that these properties can alter with the
vehicle load. The heavier the load in the trunk, the less the tendency to understeer.
Handling, roadholding
Vehicle load, tire design, and inflation pressure, all affect vehicle handling. Therefore, check that the
tires are inflated to the recommended pressure according to the vehicle load.
See "Tire pressure" section.
