Practical recommendations
Do not warm up the engine by idling.
Only at very low outside temperatures, to ensure proper lubrication, warm up the cold engine at increased idle speed for approximately half a minute.
But when the engine is cold, do not develop a high crankshaft speed, as this reduces its service life.
When the engine is under load - acceleration, climbs - if possible, drive with a crankshaft speed of more than 1500 rpm and shift to a lower gear in a timely manner, 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 pressing of the brake pedal can result in overheating, wear of the brake pads 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 a speed of over 3000 rpm. This eliminates any possible soot formation.
When driving on wet or bumpy roads, a wedge of water can form between the tires and the road surface. This effect, known as hydroplaning, can cause partial or complete loss of contact with the road surface, loss of control of the vehicle, and loss of braking ability. Therefore, reduce your speed on wet roads.
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 drive with the trunk open, then it is necessary to close all the windows, as well as the sliding and lifting hatch, and increase the forced ventilation of the passenger compartment.
Do not place any heavy or hard objects on the rear shelf, as they may injure passengers when braking.
Hang your clothes on hooks so that they do not obstruct the driver's view.
Do not hang heavy objects on the hooks to avoid injury when braking.
