General information and safety measures for Inspection and maintenance of the car
When driving inevitably occur processes such as loose components and assemblies, wear of the friction surfaces, the violation of control parameters, the aging of rubber goods and coatings. To prevent malfunctions and improve the reliability of the vehicle is provided Preventive Maintenance, which includes the inspection, adjustment, lubrication work, as well as the replacement of individual components. This section of the book will help motorists keep the car in good condition, reduce operating costs for fuel and oil, and extend the life of the car. This section provides a general plan for preventative maintenance of the car, followed by subsections that describe maintenance operations in detail. Contained in the book of drawings of the engine compartment and the underbody of the car provide an overview of the main elements of the arrangement. Carrying out maintenance in strict accordance with the plan outlined in the book will provide long and reliable service vehicle. When servicing a vehicle, you will notice that some operations may be combined. For example, if you pick up the car for any operation, you can simultaneously check the elements of the exhaust system. Carefully prepare for maintenance. Review the description of the operation you are about to perform, and buy the necessary tools and spare parts. If you encounter a problem which you can not resolve yourself, contact a specialist. Regular maintenance will ensure: - Good fuel economy; - Long service life of the car; - Getting pleasure from driving; - Traffic safety; - reliability; - Iozmozhnost take full advantage of the guarantee; - With the relevant requirements of the current legislation regarding the protection of the environment. Performing maintenance. Failure to comply with instructions and appropriate security measures maintenance of the vehicle is dangerous. Certain operations related to the risk of severe injury. If you do not have sufficient knowledge and experience, or you do not have the tools or equipment to carry out the work, charge maintenance of your car dealer or qualified Mazda. The engine running. It is dangerous to work in the engine compartment when the engine is not drowned. Risk of injury is even greater if you wear jewelry or clothing free cut. Jewellery, voluminous or long items of clothing can be caught in the rotating parts, risking injury. Therefore, if you need to carry out work in the engine compartment with the engine running, be sure to remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, chains), as well as a tie, a scarf or similar loose clothing items before approaching directly to the engine or cooling fan which It may unexpectedly turn on and start spinning. The viscosity of the engine oil affects the fuel efficiency and performance of the engine at a low temperature (e.g., at cold engine start). The use of low-viscosity engine oil toplivnouyu improves efficiency and facilitates engine starting at low ambient temperatures. However, at high ambient temperatures require the use of more viscous engine oil provides better lubrication conditions of the engine parts. When selecting the viscosity of engine oil, consider the prevailing ambient temperature range during the period until the next oil change. Then determine the recommended viscosity engine oil with the help of the above charts.
NOTE The consumption of engine oil due primarily burn the oil film on the cylinder walls, the combustion of oil that has entered the cylinder chamber through the crankcase ventilation system, and evaporation losses. The natural flow of motor oil for the serviceable engine is up to 0.8 liters per 1000 km of running a car. At the beginning of operation of the vehicle when there is a break-in period of the engine parts, engine oil consumption may exceed the specified value. Consumption of motor oil depends on the operating conditions of the engine (engine speed and load), and the manner of driving. With a dynamic style of the high-speed driving when the engine is in the forced modes, engine oil consumption increases and may exceed the above amount. |
