Operating Guidelines



It should be borne in mind that even vehicles of the same model, issued almost simultaneously, have marked individual features of behavior on the road. Use full speed and dynamic features of the car is recommended as getting used to it, comprehend its nature and only after driving the first 2000-3000 km in compliance with the limits specified in section "Running the car".
Before the trip, warm up the engine at idle, a cold engine since the work at higher speeds reduces its service life. When the starter gear lever manual gearbox must be in neutral position, the automatic transmission selector lever - in position ?�N?� (neutral) or ?�P?� (park).
Do not operate the engine with the engine speed at which the tachometer needle is in the red zone.
It is forbidden to start the movement of the vehicle from the place "on the starter." Budge in a car with a manual transmission only in first gear when fully lowered parking brake lever, slowly releasing the clutch pedal.
Do not exceed the carrying capacity standards specified in the technical characteristics of the car: overload leads to increased wear on the tires and suspension components, to the loss of directional stability. Avoid driving on roads with poor quality coatings at higher speeds. "Breakdown" suspension, which is usually accompanied by a movement in these conditions lead to damage and deformation nodes running gear. In this case as well, there may be damage and deformation of the body. Regularly check the tire pressure: low pressure leads to intensive wear. The difference in tire pressure of 0.2-0.3 atm causes deterioration in drivability. Regularly check the condition of rubber protective covers of ball bearings, constant velocity joints and hinges of steering drafts. Damaged covers must be replaced as water and dirt quickly withdraw mechanisms of action.
For the filling, use lubricants and operational fluids recommended by the manufacturer.
Regularly check the condition of the battery terminals and fixing wires to them. Loose connections or corrosion of the terminals could damage the electronics of the vehicle.
Remember that the battery terminals with different diameters: positive terminal longer negative. Make sure that the wires are connected in accordance with that on their tip and terminal polarity.
When charging the battery directly at the vehicle from the external power source is required to disconnect the generator (Disconnect the "+" of the battery).
