ATTENTION!
For lubrication of components
and assemblies use the materials
recommended by the manufactur-
er in Appendix 1. The use of other
materials may result in premature
wear and damage to these com-
ponents and assemblies.
To avoid the engine operation with
excessively high revolutions during
the vehicle driving, change the gears
in time. Thus, you will reduce the
engine wear and fuel consumption.
ATTENTION!
The vehicle engine is designed
to use the gasoline with octane
number not lower than that speci-
fied in Appendix 1. Operation of the
vehicle using the low octane num-
ber gasolines results in its failure!
Remember to check the tyre pres-
sure regularly, for the operation of
tyres with the pressure different from
the recommended, leads to their
premature wear, fuel consumption
increase, as well as to the vehicle
stability and driveability reduction.
Warning
Pressure differential on one
axis for only 0.02–0.03 MPa
increases fuel consumption and
deteriorates driveability, and can
lead to skidding during emer-
gency braking!
The vehicle is equipped with the
clutch cable with the clutch lining
wear compensation mechanism, due
to which the drive manual adjustment
is exclude for the whole service life of
linings. To avoid the clutch slipping
after gear change and clutch engage-
ment, take your foot off the pedal.
ATTENTION!
While driving, do not keep your
foot on the clutch pedal and do
not keep your hand on the gear
lever, this may result in damage
and premature wear of parts of
the gear change lever assembly.
During the pedal operation in
the clutch engagement and dis-
engagement process, gear com-
ponents coupling and discoupling
occurs in the clutch lining wear
compensation mechanism, that
can be accompanied with the
click-type distinctive sound. This
click should not raise fears con-
cerning the clutch linkage per-
formance disturbance; it can
appear and disappear as the lin-
ings wear, thereupon, the clutch
engagement and disengagement
completeness is fully ensured.
The appearance of inconspicuous
rattling in the vehicles equipped with
the electrically assisted steering
(in
design variant) , when reaching the
extreme steering wheel positions, is
not the criterion of failure.
Keep a continual watch on the
cleanliness of terminals and storage
battery clamps and check them for
reliable connection. Remember that
terminals and clamps corrosion of as
well as their poor connection cause
sparking in the poor contact loca-
tion, which can lead to the vehicle
electronic equipment failure. Gene-
rator operability check by removing
the storage battery clamps with the
engine running is also not allowed.
Warning
The vehicle is equipped with
high energy ignition system.
Therefore, it is dangerous to
touch the ignition system compo-
nents with the engine running.
In addition, it is not recommended
to test the high-voltage circuits «for
sparkling», because this may lead to
the failure of the ignition system ele-
ments. During maintenance of the
