Warning
Safe driving technique largely
depends on the driver's correct
position. Correct driving position –
the driver rests on the seat back
tightly enough, his/her legs are
not fully spread for full pedal trav-
el, and both arms, slightly bent at
elbows, hold the upper part of the
steering wheel. The body position
should be firm but not strained –
it prevents fast exhaustion.
Engine start
These recommendations provide
starting of properly operating engine
with storage battery, charged by at
least 75%, with engine oil of SAE vis-
cosity grade, corresponding to envi-

winter period, depending on climatic
area of application.

insert the key into the ignition switch,
press the brake pedal, depress the
clutch pedal until it stops, shift the

not press the accelerator pedal.
Cold start of the engine is opti-
mized to the ambient tempera-

down the fully depressed clutch
pedal until the engine starting stops,
and the engine idle running. After
starting the engine, release the
