Maintenance of the horn includes
periodical inspection of its mounting elements, tightening wire clamps, cleaning
of dust and dirt, as well as checking the sound level and, if necessary, adjusting it.
Adjust the signal in a workshop.
Instruments, gages and alarms
Periodically check the fasteners of the devices, the reliability of their contact connections. Clean them of dirt and
dust.
When removing electric sensors, isolate the wire ends to avoid short circuiting. Use a hex socket wrench or a box
wrench to remove the coolant temperature sensor and the coolant emergency temperature sensor without damaging their
housings.
Do not allow the fluid level in the radiator of the cooling system to drop, as this could cause the sensor to fail.
Once a year, check that the coolant temperature gauge reads correctly by immersing the gauge in hot water and
measuring its temperature with a control thermometer.
Once a year, check that the oil pressure gauge shows correct readings, check the lamp sensor for emergency oil
pressure in the engine lubrication system using a pressure gauge.
BODY
To maintain the good appearance of the vehicle, constantly carry out preventive care of the body paintwork. To
avoid scratches on the painted surface, do not remove dust and dirt with a dry wiping material To wash the vehicle body,
use a stream of water with a small pressure and soft rags.
When washing the body with a "Karcher" type unit, water may penetrate into the interior, which is not a flaw.
Wipe dry the washed body surfaces to avoid stains appearing after drying-out in summer, and to avoid cracks
appearing after water drops freezing. Do not use soda and alkaline solutions, as it leads to paint fading. When possible do
not park the vehicle under direct sunlight to avoid deteriorating wheel rubber and weather strips.
To take care of the vehicle body coatings, use prophylactic polishing liquids: auto emulsion, polish (spray), AB-70
wax (for vehicles), etc. To restore shine of a faded coated surface of the vehicle body, apply purifying-polishing
composition.
During vehicle operation, periodically treat the surfaces (especially closed hollows) with anti-corrosion products,
such as ‘Movil’, ‘Tectil’, ‘Nova’ etc, to preserve the vehicle body from premature deterioration. Treat the enclosed body
cavities through the holes in the floor panels and crossarms.
If necessary, recover the body floor pan, coated with plastisol sealing compound, by spreading the compound with a
special spray or with a brush.
Periodically lubricate the body's mechanisms and body accessories.
