It should be borne in mind that even cars of the same model, produced almost simultaneously, have pronounced individual characteristics of behavior on the road. It is recommended to use the full speed and dynamic capabilities of the car as «addictive» to him, comprehending his character and only after the car has passed the first 2000-3000 km in compliance with the restrictions specified in subsection «Vehicle break-in».
Warm up the engine at idle before driving, as running a cold engine at high speeds will shorten its life. When the starter is engaged, the gearshift lever must be in the neutral position.
Do not allow the engine to operate at a crankshaft speed at which the tachometer needle is in the solid red zone of the scale. Engine operation at a crankshaft speed at which the tachometer needle is in the shaded area of the scale is permissible for a short time.
Move off only in first gear. It is forbidden to start the movement of the car from a place «on the starter». It is possible to touch the car from a place only in first gear with the parking brake lever fully released, smoothly releasing the clutch pedal.
Do not exceed the carrying capacity specified in the technical characteristics of the car: overloading leads to increased wear of tires and suspension parts, as well as loss of directional stability.
Do not drive on poor quality roads at high speeds. «breakdowns» suspensions, which, as a rule, accompany movement in such modes, lead to damage and deformation of the components of the chassis of the car. In this case, damage and deformation of the body can also occur.
Regularly check the air pressure in the tires: low pressure leads to intensive tire wear. A tire pressure difference of 0.2–0.3 atm leads to a deterioration in vehicle handling.
Vehicles equipped with catalytic converters must not be filled with leaded gasoline. This will lead to a quick failure of the converter.
Check Regularly condition of protective covers of CV joints (constant velocity joints), ball bearings, steering rod joints. Damaged covers must be replaced, as water and dirt will quickly disable the mechanisms.
For refueling, use fuels and lubricants and operating fluids recommended by the manufacturer.
Regularly check the condition of the battery terminals and the fastening of the wires on them. Loose fastening or oxidation of the terminals can damage the electronic devices of the car. Remember that the battery terminals have different diameters - the positive terminal is larger than the negative one.
Make sure that the wires are connected in accordance with the polarity indicated on their tips and terminals. When charging the battery directly on the vehicle from an external power source, be sure to disconnect it from the generator (remove the wire from the battery terminal «plus»).
Do not violate the deadlines for inspection and maintenance work. All work is carried out in full.
