Chapter 7. VeHICle DRIVING IN DIffeReNT
ROAD, WeATHeR AND ClIMATIC CONDITIONS
The operation and service life of the motor vehicle depends
to a great extent on the features of its driving. When driven
correctly, the motor vehicle may run at a high middle speed and
consume not much fuel when overcoming difficult road sections.
It is recommended to put in the second gear when driving away
from rest on a level section of a hard-surface road. In all the
other cases, put in the first gear when driving away from rest.
Disengage the clutch when putting in the gears and engaging the
front axle:
- disengage the clutch fast by pressing the clutch pedal as far
as it can go;
- engage the clutch smoothly, avoiding a quick release of
the clutch pedal, which results in jerking motion of the motor
vehicle, and a slow engagement of the clutch with prolonged
slipping;
- do not keep the clutch disengaged on a stationary motor
vehicle (waiting at a highway crossing, traffic light, etc.) when
the gear is put in and the engine starts. It is recommended to
use the neutral gear of the gearbox and the fully engaged clutch;
- do not press the clutch pedal when the motor vehicle is in
motion;
- do not use the clutch slipping as a means of keeping the
motor vehicle on steep inclines.
Put in the gears smoothly and without jerks. If it is impossible
to put in the right gear when driving away from rest, then slightly
release the clutch pedal and try to disengage the clutch and put
in a gear again.
Use the reverse gear only after bringing the motor vehicle to
a complete stop.
On slippery roads, drive the vehicle evenly at low speed.
