Practical recommendations
Do not warm up the engine at idle.
Only at very low outside temperatures, to ensure proper lubrication, warm up a cold engine at high idle for about half a minute.
But with a cold engine, do not develop a high crankshaft speed, as this reduces its service life.
When loading the engine - acceleration, climbing - if possible, move at a crankshaft speed of more than 1500 rpm and make timely downshifts, especially on climbs.
When disengaging the clutch, fully depress the clutch pedal, do not keep your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.
Do not keep your foot on the brake pedal while driving. Even light but prolonged pressure on the brake pedal can result in overheating, wear of the brake linings and possible failure of the brake system.
After a long drive at low speeds (movement in the city, in a column), as soon as possible, it is recommended to drive a few kilometers at over 3000 rpm. This eliminates the possible formation of soot.
When driving on wet or muddy roads, a water wedge may form between the tires and the road surface. This effect, known as hydroplaning, can cause partial or complete loss of road contact, loss of vehicle control, and loss of vehicle braking ability. Therefore, on wet roads, slow down.
The trunk lid must be closed when driving so that exhaust gases do not enter the passenger compartment. However, if, due to the dimensions of the transported cargo, it is necessary to move with the trunk open, then it is necessary to close all windows, as well as the sliding-raised sunroof, and increase the forced ventilation of the passenger compartment.
Do not place any heavy or hard objects on the tailgate as they may injure passengers when braking.
Hang clothes on hooks so that they do not obstruct the view of the driver.
Do not hang heavy objects on the hooks to avoid injury when braking.
