SAFETY VEHICLE OPERATION
BASICS
Your safety and environmental
protection depend on technical serv-
iceability of your vehicle and compli-
ance with the rules of its operation.
The following recommendations will
greatly enhance your safety on the
roads and will keep your vehicle in
good condition.
Safety precautions during
vehicle operation
Do not exceed the vehicle load
specified in this Manual. Overloading
causes to suspension components,
premature tire wear and loss of the
vehicle stability.
Prevent fast driving on roads with
broken covering, for sharp blows can
deform the body and suspension
components.
Regularly check the condition of
protective rubber covers of the
steering rack, ball bearings, shift
rod, front wheel drive joints, as well
as of the steering joints protective
caps. If a cover or a cap is damaged,
improperly installed or twisted, the
joint or the mechanism will be pene-
trated with dust, water and dirt, that
would cause their increased wear
and breakdown. Therefore, replace
any damaged cover or cap with the
new one, and fix the improperly
installed or twisted component.
In order to reduce the level of
vibrations transmitted from the front
suspension to the steering gear, the
steering gear housing is attached to
the body panel by means of rubber
mounts. The inherent structural elas-
ticity of connection provides mobility
of the crankcase towards the body.
