It should be borne in mind that even cars of the same model, produced almost simultaneously, have individual characteristics of behavior on the road. It is recommended to use the full speed and dynamic capabilities of the car as you get used to it, comprehend its 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 turned on, the manual transmission control lever must be in the neutral position, the automatic transmission selector lever - in the position «N» (neutral) or «R» (parking).
Do not allow the engine to operate at a crankshaft speed at which the tachometer needle is in the red zone of the scale.
It is forbidden to start the movement of the car from a place «on the starter». You can start moving only in first gear with the parking brake lever fully lowered, gently 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, to 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 may occur.
Regularly check the air pressure in the tires: low pressure leads to intensive tire wear. The difference in tire pressure values of 0.2–0.3 atm leads to a deterioration in vehicle controllability.
Regularly check the condition of the rubber boots on the ball joints, constant velocity joints and tie 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 are of 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 terminal from the battery «plus»).
Do not violate the deadlines for inspection and maintenance work. All work is carried out in full. The frequency of work is indicated in sec. 4 «Maintenance».
