Equipped with an automatic transmission
When driving a car equipped with an automatic transmission, you should pay attention to the following features:
- When accelerating the vehicle, the engine will run at higher speeds, which is normal and typical for an automatic transmission.
- To quickly increase the speed of movement, it is necessary to press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it in this position for some time. Increasing the engine speed and lowering the gear ratio in the gearbox will quickly increase the speed of the car.
- If the pressure on the accelerator pedal decreases, the engine speed will decrease regardless of the driving speed. This is a normal phenomenon and results in significant fuel savings.
Equipped with a catalytic converter
Avoid engine operating conditions that allow unburned or partially burnt fuel to enter the catalytic converter, especially when the engine is warm:
- Do not allow the fuel tank to run completely dry.
- Do not run the engine for an unreasonably long time.
- Do not start the engine with the high tension wire disconnected.
- Do not tow or push the engine when the engine is warm. Use a battery from another vehicle to jump start the engine.
- Do not turn off the engine while the vehicle is moving.
Parking a car equipped with a catalytic converter
After the engine has stopped, the exhaust system continues to emit a significant amount of heat for a long time, so avoid parking on grass and dry leaves. The car body is equipped with thermal insulation from the catalytic converter. It is prohibited to paint the thermal insulation and the surfaces adjacent to it. Do not remove the thermal insulation from the car under any circumstances.
