Car movement

Before driving, check the position of the parking brake lever - start driving only with the lever fully lowered.

At very low ambient temperatures and after a long period of parking, it is recommended to drive in lower gears for a while. As the oil in the gearbox and rear axle warms up, shift to higher gears in sequence.

To move in reverse, press the gear lever, sinking it all the way, and move it to the position corresponding to the reverse gear. Engage reverse gear only when the vehicle is completely stopped.

After overcoming fords, as well as after washing the car, or when driving for a long time on a wet road, when water gets into the brake mechanisms of the wheels, make several smooth braking of the car while driving to dry the discs, drums and brake linings.

Drive at moderate speeds whenever possible. Sharp accelerations and decelerations, driving at high speeds lead to increased tire wear and excessive fuel consumption. Insufficient tire pressure, improper adjustment of the carburetor idle system, worn or dirty spark plugs also lead to excessive fuel consumption.

While driving, monitor the operation of various components using the appropriate instruments and warning lamps. Under normal conditions, all red indicator lamps should be off. Their inclusion signals the need to check the corresponding node.

The design of the brakes provides effective braking. However, try to brake smoothly and moderately at all times, avoiding hard braking.
