For automatic transmissions, likely Dexron III or equivalent. Manual transmission fluid (MTF) specification would also be detailed.
Body Styles:
Likely sedan, hatchback (e.g., 3-door and 5-door). (Note: The 'Lacetti' nameplate was used across different body styles and generations. The 1999 context might refer to the Daewoo Nubira, which was a precursor or closely related model to the Lacetti in some markets.)
Curb Weight:
Typically in the range of 1200-1350 kg, depending on body style and equipment.
Crash Test Results:
Information on available safety features and potential crash test ratings from organizations like Euro NCAP (if tested for the specific model/year in European markets) would be part of a comprehensive manual.

Daewoo Motors Context:
Daewoo Motors was a South Korean manufacturer known for producing a range of vehicles, often based on collaborations with other automakers. It was acquired by General Motors in 2002.
Lacetti Predecessors:
The Daewoo Lacetti, in its various forms and under different names (like Nubira in some markets), evolved from earlier Daewoo compact and mid-size offerings. The J200 platform (often associated with Lacetti) replaced the Nubira (J100).
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily South Korea, with potential assembly in other GM-affiliated plants globally.
