Starting and driving
needed, especially in sharp turns
or at low speeds.
Wet brakes:
When the vehicle is washed
or driven through water, the
brakes may get wet. As a result,
your braking distance will be
longer and the vehicle may pull to
one side during braking.
To dry brakes, drive the
vehicle at a safe speed while
lightly pressing the brake pedal to
heat-up the brakes. Do this until
the brakes return to normal. Avoid
driving the vehicle at high speeds
until the brakes function correctly.
●
Avoid resting your foot on
the brake pedal while driving.
This will overheat the brakes,
wear out the brake linings and
pads faster and increase gas
mileage.
●
To help save the brakes
and to prevent the brakes from
overheating, before going down
a slope or long grade, reduce
speed and downshift to a lower
gear.
●
While driving on a slippery
surface,
be
careful
when
braking,
accelerating
or
downshifting. Abrupt braking
actions or sudden acceleration
could cause the wheels to skid.
DRIVING UPHILL
When starting on a steep
grade, it is sometimes difficult to
operate both the brake and clutch.
Use the parking brake to hold the
vehicle. Do not slip the clutch.
When ready to start, slowly
release the parking brake while
depressing accelerator pedal and
releasing the clutch.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
The engine braking action is
effective for controlling the vehicle
while
descending
hills.
The
gearshift lever should be placed in
the lower speed position prior to
descending.
SPARK PLUGS
The factory-installed spark
plugs
on
your
vehicle
are
designed to meet normal driving
conditions. If your vehicle is
operated under either of the
following
conditions,
it
is
recommended that optional spark
plugs of the proper heat range be
installed.
When the vehicle is used
primarily for short distance travel,
so that the engine does not run
long enough to reach its normal
operating
temperature,
use
hot-type spark plugs.
When
the
vehicle
is
frequently operated with throttle
wide open for long periods of time,
use cold-type spark plugs.
For spark plug types, please
consult
your
PARSKHODRO
dealer.
