4 \ '-, ~- The After Sale Free Service. Following a thorough pre delivery service carried out by the dealer the owner is also entitled to an after sale free service at approimately 1000 miles. Th is service is im portant for the purpose of necessary adjustments during the running in period. Australia service policy At the same time the deale r will attend to.any items which might be causing the owner concern and, providing fault is established that has not been caused by accidental damage or misuse, there will be no charge other than for oils and materials. The owner is, therefore, requested to bring such matters which may not normally come under the definition of warranty to the dealer's attention at this time as subsequently they could be considered normal maintenance which is an owner responsibility. Owner Responsibility. The full implementation and security of the 8.M.C. warranty depends on the owner producing evidence of a satisfactory maintenance programme, as contained in the 8.M.C. " Passport to Ser'Jice" scheme. It is the owner's responsibility to draw any fau lt or malfunction in the vehicle to the 8.M.C. dealer's attention immediately it becomes apparent. Should delay in reporting such defects result in additional damage then this could well be considered the owner's responsibility. In the intere:;ts of owner's economy and taking into account the fact that all owners do not use their cars to the same etent it is necessary that the owner make the following simple items his own personal responsibility:- cool ing system levels (check cold) page 26 battery fluid level page 38 engine oil level page 24 tyre pressures page 28

14 seats and seat belts Front seats. Both front seats are fully adjustable for leg length and back rest positions. The two separate adjustments are spring loaded and self-iocking_ The diagram shows clearly the two controls. When operating the back rest control lever it is advisable to relieve the back rest of driver or passenger weight. The back rests are completely reclinable to form a bed with the seat in the fully forward posit ion. Seat belts. The driver and front passenger seats are provided with individual lap and sash type seat belts. The rear seats are provided with in-built anchorage points and seat belts may be obtained from any authorised B.M.C. dealer. Fastening of belts. The belt is fastened by inserting the tongue into the buckle until a positive click is heard. Correct wearing of belts. The belts should be worn with the long belt crossing the chest diagonally and the buckle resting on the hip nearest the centre of the car. When correctly adjusted the lap portion should be comfortably tight and it should be possible to just pass a closed fist between the chest and the upper strap. The strap lengths are adjustable by sliding the belt through the fittings at the lower anchorage points for the long belt and through the buckle for the short belt. In order to gain the maimum protection from seat belts always ensure that the belts are correctly adjusted. Caution. Make sure that the short belt being used is attached to the side of the tunnel farthest from the wearer. Releasing of belts. To release the belt press the buckle button and eert a slight body pressure aga inst the belt. The buckle assembly will release. When the seat belts are not in use they should be stowed in the door pillar clip to prevent accidental damage and ensure safe eit and entry for the occupants of the car. Cleaning of belts. The belts may be cleaned with a warm soapy sponge. Do not dye or bleach as this may adversely affect the characteristics and strength of the webbing. Warning. Seat belts will give valuable protection in most accidents. If the belt becomes frayed or its strength is doubted in any way it should be replaced. Belts and anchorages should be checked frequently. 12

15 13 driving the car Driver Safety check windshield cleanliness check seat position check driving mirrors fasten safety belts observe road and traffic conditions and act accordingly Vehicle Safety check tyre pressures check cooling system levels check engine oil leaks check hydraulic fluid levels ensure maintenance schedules are followed Safety Is In Your Hands remember always:- a. be alert b. study the traffic conditions c. keep your vehicle efficient The new car Care taken in driving the new car in its early life will repay in greater efficiency later. The engine has been carefully assembled and tested before leaving the factory. Following which the selling dealer has caref ully prepared and rechecked the entire vehicle before delivery. It is suggested that for the first 500 miles the speed should not eceed 50 mph ecept for short periods. The car may be driven normally but the best performance must not be epected until the car is fully run in. The running in period is usually considered as 2000 miles. Driving the car with manual transmission The gear positions are clearly shown on the top of the gear lever knob. All the forward gears are equipped with synchromesh action to ensure smooth, easy gear changes. Lift to engage reverse. Starting the engine. Ensure that the gear lever is in the neutral position and that the hand brake is applied. If the engine is cold pull out the choke control. A little practice will determine the eact amount. Turn the ignition key fully to the right and release it as soon as the engine starts. Do not use the choke if the engine is hot. Push in the choke control completely as soon as the engine will run f reely without its use. Check to ensure that the ignition and oil pressure warning lights are not glowing. Driving hints. Do not attempt to start the engine whilst in gear. Do not leave the ignition switch on when the engine is not running. Do not slip clutch in traffic or when travelling uphill. Do not use the clutch pedal as a footrest. Do not coast vehicle with a gear engaged and the clutch held depressed. Do not under any circumstances run the engine in a closed garage or similar restricted atmosphere. The ehaust fumes are highly poisonous and if inhaled, will quickly produce grave, if not fatal results.

16 driving the car Driving the car with automatic transmission Selector positions. The selector lever mounted on the fascia panel controls the operation of the transmission. The lever positions are indicated on the quadrant which is marked 'P' 'R' 'N' ' 0' and 'L'. Starting the engine. The engine may only be started with the selector lever in the 'P' or 'N' position. If the engine is cold pull out the choke control. A little practice will determine the eact amount. Do not use the choke if the engine is hot. Turn the ignition key fully to the right and release it as soon as the engine starts. Normal driving. The selector lever may be moved frec)ly between '0' and 'N' but to select 'L', ' R' or 'P' the lever must be deflected to the left against spring pressure. ' P' park position: no engine power is transmitted to the wheels and the transmission is locked mechanically. When the car is to be left unattended it is advisable to engage the ' P' position. Do not engage 'P' unless the vehicle is stationary. 'R' reverse with full engine braking. Do not select 'R' when the car is moving forward. 'N' neutral no engine power is t ransmitted to the wheels. '0' with the selector in the ' 0' position all three forward ratios are available and are engaged automatically and progressively according to vehicle speed and accelerator position. Minimum accelerator pressure will result in low speed up changes. Rapid overtaking or hill climbing may be obtained by depressing the accelerator pedal beyond its normal travel into the kick down position. Kick down changes are under the driver's control ecept that the maimum down change speeds are preset to give optimum performance without overspeeding the engine. It is not necessary to move the selector lever from the '0' position when the vehicle is temporarily stationary. The normal forward creep may be held with a light application of the foot brake. 14

17 driving the car 'L' provides a locked position for the low ratios which gives appropriate engine braking for descending a very steep hill. The road speed should be reduced to below 55 m.p.h. before selecting 'L' which will then provide the intermedi ate ratio until the road speed falls below 5 m.p.h. when low will be automatically engaged and held. Driving hints. Do not hold the car on an upgrade by accelerating the engine ecessively. Use either the hand or foot brake as required. Do not drive with the accelerator and brake pedals depressed. Do not engage 'P' or 'R' whilst the vehicle is moving. Do not engage 'L' or '0' whilst the vehicle is moving back wards. WI! n towing a caravan or heavy trailer always select 'L' before lif. l:ending steep hills. Driving on soft surfaces. Should the front wheels fail to grip under mud or slush conditions traction may be regained by rocking the car backwards and forwards by alternatively select ing 'R' and '0' with a small throttle opening. This car cannot be tow started. Special towing note (automatic transmission). If for some reason it be found necessary for the vehicle to be towed it is preferable that the front wheels be suspended. If front suspended towing is not possible the following must be observed:- The selector lever must be in the 'N' position. Three pints etra of the approved transmission fluid must be added to the automatic transmission. The distance towed must not eceed 40 miles. The towing speed must not eceed 30 m.p.h. at any time. Fa ilure to observe all the above precautions may result in damage to the automatic transmission. 15

18 locks and fitting Bonnet lock. To open, pull the release handle under the parcel shelf, net, from the front of the car release the safety catch by eerting slight pressure downwards on the bonnet and pull the safety catch handle forward. Checked and lubricated in passport service each 6000 miles. Bonnet support. As the bonnet is raised the support stay will automatically spring into engagement and hold the bonnet in the open position. To close, raise the bonnet slightly, push the catch on the support arm to release the lock ing mechanism, then lower bonnet and apply pressure until the safety catch and bonnet lock are heard to engage. Windshield wiper blades. To ensure that the windshield is wiped as clean as possible the blade rubbers should be renewed each year. To release the blade from the arm first lift the arm assembly away from the screen, push apart the retaining spring and socket to enable the blade to be withdrawn. 16

19 locks and fittings Door locks. Both front doors can be locked with the ignition key. To lock. turn key towards front of car and then return it to upright position. To unlock. turn key towards rear of car and then return it to upright position. Door controls. To lock either front door from the inside push the sill locking button down wards. If a button is pushed down with the door open closing the door will return the button to the unlocked position on the front doors but not on the rear doors. Children's safety lock. Push the lever down (see inset) to render the interior handle inoperative. Eamined and lubricated in passport service each 6000 miles. Rear window. To open the window pull the toggle catch forward and push outwards. Close the window by pulling the centre of the catch inwards and then backwards until the catch snaps into the locked position. 17

20 locks and fittings Boot lock. To open, insert the key, turn anticlockwise and push the button. Opening the lid switches on the luggage compartment light.

Fuel Filler The fuel filler cap is combined with the access panel located to the rear of the left hand rear wheel. To open insert the ignition key and turn clockwise. Checked in passport service each 6000 miles. 6

21 heating and ventilation Fresh air ventilating system. Fresh air is provided from air vents on the fascia panel. The volume of air entering the car may be individually controlled by either driver or passenger with the lever (3) under each vent. The direction of air flow can be individually controlled by adjusting the vertical and horizontal deflectors (1 and 2) on each vent. Heater control system. The heater unit will heat and ventilate the interior of the car and demist or de:rost the windscreen. The air supply may be at ambient temperature or heated from the engine cooling system. Temperature and air distribution are regulated by separate controls at the centre of the parcel rail. Air temperature (left hand control). Cold: Control fully to the left. Hot: Control fully to the right. Select intermediate position to vary the heat output. Air distribution (right hand control). Air Flow Closed: Control fully to the left. Air Flow to Screen: Control to centre position. Air Flow Through Car: Control fully to the right. Note an intermediate stop between the Screen and Car positions will allow air flow through both vents. Air boost (centre control). O):erates a blower incorporated in the heater and should be used when the car is travelling slowly, is stopped or in etreme weather conditions to augment the supply of air to the heater. Do not operate the blower when the air distribution control is in the "closed" position. Full heat output will not be available until the engine has reached its normal running temperature. The most effective use will be made of the ventilation, heating or demisting available if advantage is taken of the different air circulations induced within the vehicle interior by regulating the vehicle door or rear vent windows. 19

22 Wheels and tyres. Tyres are a major factor in road safety. The original equipment tyres fitted have been selected to enable normal passenger requirements and adequate loads to be carried. Tyres are vulnerable to abuse, damage by accident or incorrect maintenance and need to be inspected regularly. Sharp objects such as broken glass or pointed stones should be removed before full penetration is made. Modern vehicles are sensitive to road wheel balance and for this reason wheels and tyres are balanced at the factory. Normal wear and tear and road conditions may cause an out-of-balance condition to develop. Th is must be corrected in the interests of safety, road handling and the li fe of steering and suspension components as well as tyres. Road conditions and minor accidents may influence wheel alignment adversely. Adjustment may be necessary to correct the condition in order to ensure safety and long tyre life. The rate of tyre wear depends on many factors such as driving speeds, cornering, vehicle loading, road conditions, etc. In addition, tyres wear at different rates depending on their position on the vehicle. Depending on the observed condition of the tyres, a rotation of the road wheels may be recommended. The spare wheel may be included in this rotation to ensure that tyre wear is shared by all five tyres. The dealer will advise of the need for wheel balancing, rotation or an alignment check as a result of his observations during routine servicing. Tyre condition is checked in each passport service every 3000 miles or three months. Tyre pressures. The recommended pressures should be maintained at all times (refer centre of the book). Pressure checks should be carried out before the tyres become warm from a long run. Do not deflate to correct the pressure during a long run. Inflation pressures should be checked once a week or prior to a long journey. Do not neglect the spare. Any unusual pressure loss should be investigated. Remember, the appearance of radial ply tyres is deceptive, always use a pressure gauge when eamining for correct inflation. Valve caps should always be replaced using finger pressure only. The caps ensure a second seal should the valv e core become loose or fail. They also eclude dirt and moisture. One wheel is supplied with a metal key cap which c(;ln be used to tighten or replace a valve core.

23 wheels and tyres Spare wheel. The spare wheel is carried in a tray below the luggage compartment floor. To release, lift mat and place the wheel brace in the retaining bolt socket and turn anti clockwise. When replacing the wheel ensure that the valve is accessible, check tyre pressure regularly. Pressure checked in passport service each 3000 miles or three months. Spare wheel (utility). The spare wheel is cradled under the rear of the tray. To unlock the wheel retainer insert the key and turn clockwise. Slacken the knurled hand nut and push forward to clear the cradle. A handle is provided on the cradle. Changing a wheel. Apply the handbrake and remove the hub cover as shown by inserting the lever provided, directly opposite the valve, under the outer rim and prise off. Place the jack fully into the sill aperture nearest the wheel to be removed. Lower the foot of the jack to the ground and slacken the wheel nuts half a turn each. Raise the wheel off the ground with the jack. Remove the nuts and wheel. Change over the wheel assemblies, replace the nuts with their tapered side towards the wheel and t ighten them lightly. Lower the car and fully tighten the nuts evenly. Remove the jack and replace the hub cover. 21

24 maintenance attentions The following pages give a comprehensive coverage of the necessary care and attention essential to ensure that the car continues to give the performance which was built in by the manufacturer. The recommended mileage period at which the attention is necessary is clearly given. Each item carries a footnote indicating its inclusion in a "passport to service" schedule. A few practical hints to enable the car to be kept in immaculate showroom condition inside and out are listed. At the end of the booklet a summary of attentions is laid out showing clearly the maintenance operations necessary at each 3000 mile interval. To really ensure complete maintenance protection it is recommended that the vehicle be entrusted to an authorised B.M.C. dealer, thus taking the advantage of his specialised equipment, factory trained personnel, as well as genuine B.M.C. parts which carry the same warranty as the new vehicle. ~ BMC

26 Engine oil level (automatic and synchromesh transmission models) Maintaining the correct engine oil level is very important. Too much oi l cause frothing and ecessive splash which the piston rings cannot Correct readings cannot be assumed immediately after stopping the vehic such as when purchasing petrol at a service station. In these circumstance oil will still be suspended in the upper regions of the hot engine. Dipstick readings must be taken on level ground. Always replace the dipstick with the word oil reading from the front of the car Oil changing The engine oil should be changed every 3000 miles, or three months, which ever is the earlier, under normal conditions. More arduous operation such a stop'start running, slow heavy traffic or in very dusty atmospheres demand more frequent oil changes. The advice of the 8.M.C. dealer should be taken on this aspect. Additional additives to the engine oil are not normally necessary or desirable. Included in passport service each 3000 miles or three months. Automatic transmission oil level The transmission must be at normal running temperature. To check trans mission oil level, select 'P' and with engine still idling withdraw dipstick, wipe clean with non fluffy cloth, insert and withdraw immediately. The difference between the high and low marks is 1 imp. pint. Do not overfill. Use only approved automatic transmission fluid (refer "recommended lubricants" section) and observe scrupulous cleanliness. Transmission oil is separate from engine oil.

47 care of body Interior. It is advisable to clean the interior of the car before washing the outside. All loose dust and dirt can be removed with a vacuum cleaner or a small hand broom and dust pan. The seat covering material, although etremely comfortable and durable will still require a certain amount of attention. Ordinary soil is easily removed with warm soapy water applied on a damp cloth. Bad soiling can be removed with a medium stiff nylon brush. Whenever soaps or detergents are used it is important that the upholstery be rinsed clean and wiped dry. Residue of soaps and detergents will have an unsightly appearance, and if left on for long periods can cause deterioration of the upholstery. Eterior. Frequent washing of the car will help to maintain it in a good condition. Once the car is clean it should be dried with a damp chamois leather. It should be noted that drain holes are provided in the bottom of the doors and should be kept open and f ree from build up of dust and foreign matter. In addition to regular maintenance of the eterior of the bod," work, further attention is required to the underside of the vehic:e, when operating in etreme conditions (e.g., continuous driving over unsealed roads through snow and mud, in salt or other mineral areas, etc.). Any spots of grease or tar on the bodywork can be removed by using kerosene. It is a good idea to polish the car occasionally to remove foreign matter, which over a period of time, builds up on the paint and tends to dull its original lustre. Silicone or wa based polishes must be kept off the windscreen as they are difficult to remove and have a detrimental effect on the wiper blades. If this polish is accidentally applied to the windscreen. il can be removed by the use of a mild domestic abrasive. Bright t rim. An occasional rub with a clean soft cloth will remove dust from the chromium' plated parts, alternatively the bright trim can be cleaned very successfully with warm soapy water. If a light polish is necessary use a quality chrome polish but not ordinary metal polish as this contains abrasives which will affect the surface of the plating. Upholstery. Listed be low are a few hints to help you remove common and frequently encountered stains from your upholstery. Lipstick, shoe polish and grease. Remove as much of the stain as possible with a dry rag. Try to avoid spreading the stain, gently wipe the stain with a cloth moistened with methylated spirits. Wash over with warm soapy water. Battery acid, Battery acid may destroy the surface of your fabric or permanently stain it. Household ammonia applied immediately will neutralize the acid and prevent any further deterioration of the surface. Chocolate. Remove ecess chocolate with a spoon, and wipe over with a c loth moistened with methylated spirits t hen wash with warm soapy water. Liquor and fruit stains. Apply very hot water to the stain or mark, dry thoroughly, then wipe over with a clean cloth moistened with methylated spirits. Do not use warm soapy water as this will possibly set the stain. 45

48 passport to service The "Passport to Service" schedules have been formulated by B.M.C. engineering and service departments to ensure complete maintenance protection. passport to service The importance of correct maintenance cannot be too highly emphasised. The use of " Passport to Service" schedules ensures: 1. Fied costs for preventative maintenance. 2. Permanent evidence of proper care and maintenance which will: ensure full application of warranty; Enhance the resale value of the vehicle. It is recommended that the vehicle be entrusted to an authorised B.M.C. dealer, thus taking the advantage of his specialised equipment, factory trained personnel, as well as genuine B.M.C. parts which carry the same warranty as the new vehicle. The schedules constitute the minimum maintenance required to ensure continuous trouble free operation. Should a vehicle be operated under arduous conditions, more frequent servicing could well be desirable. In such cases the B.M.C. dealer should be consulted for advice. Safety check. For owners who cover less than 3000 miles in three months, it is recom mended that an interim safety check be carried out on a three monthly basis. This is primarily intended to protect the owner operating under etreme low mileage conditions, and discretion must be used when the circumstances are between these etremes of time and mileage. Should the owner be in doubt, he should consult the B.M.C. dealer. Spaces for recording safety checks are provided on the subsequent mileage voucher. Current charges. Refer inside back cover. 46
