Vehicles equipped with the cat-
alytic converters can be started
by towing only with the cold
engine. It is more preferable to
start the engine by means of
other storage battery or external
power supply of 12 volts; at no
account use the starter to drive
the vehicle.
The vehicle is equipped with
the downpipe with the catalytic
converter, having high operating
temperature, that's why it is
strictly prohibited to place and
store flammable materials and
objects (cloth, paper, etc.) in the
engine compartment to prevent
possible fire hazard.
Vehicle with the electric power
steering. Operation features
In the design variant the vehicle
is equipped with the electric power
steering (hereinafter – EAS) due to
which driving becomes easy and
pleasant. The EAS is located in the
steering column. The EAS quickly
tracks all control impact actions on
the steering and increases the
torque transmitted by you through
the steering wheel, according to the
specific algorithm depending on the
vehicle speed.
ATTENTION!
Low-intensive force on the
steering wheel provided with the
EAS allows turning the steering
wheel at high speed. Thereupon,
in the extreme positions, minor
impacts of the steering limiter
with the crankcase, accompanied
by a slight knock are possible. To
avoid damage to the steering box
you should control the rotation
speed of the steering wheel in
extreme positions and apply no
force when the rack rests against
the limiter.
It is not recommended to drive
with a faulty EAS when the control
indicator lights up in the instru-
ment cluster.
The EAS failure cause must be
located and removed as soon as
possible at the vehicle manufac-
turer service and sales network
enterprise.
The EAS does not work or can
be switched off in the following
situations:
– with no running vehicle
engine;
– with the vehicle speed sensor
disconnected;
– when the vehicle is parked
for a long time (more than 5 min-
utes) with the engine running at
the speed of 1500 min
-1 ;
– during the car-system volt-
age reduction;
– at the vehicle engine low idle
speed.
Such switch-offs are caused by
the EAS operation algorithm and
are not considered as malfunc-
tion.
