Repair and car operation

Entering into a standard complete set of the car the jack is intended only for performance of procedures of change of wheels. At carrying out any other repair or preventive work the car should be lifted by means of hydraulic (or telezhechny) a jack and it is obligatory to establish on the special props got under bearing points of the bottom. If need for removal of wheels is absent, the car can be tired out on a viewing hole or a platform.

For a poddomkrachivaniye the car should be parked on an equal horizontal surface, whenever possible with a firm covering. In the presence of the slightest bias it is necessary will take care of precautionary measures against kickback: prop up located on a diagonal from a subject to removal a wheel protivootkatny boots, firmly cock the parking brake. Try not to depart far from the poddomkrachenny car, especially if nearby there are children.

Before поддомкрачивать the car, remove a decorative cap and a ballonny key weaken nuts of fastening of a wheel subject to replacement. Prepare запаску.

On some models the cap fastens on a disk wheel nuts which at this stage should be weakened only!

The jack should be got in strengthened points specially intended for this purpose in a lobby or a back part of thresholds.

Take care of reliability of gearing of a head of a jack in a ledge of an edge of rigidity of a threshold. Rotating the jack handle, lift the car so that the wheel subject to replacement came off the earth. Having thrown off fixing nuts, remove a wheel and establish on its place spare. Screw wheel nuts, then lower the car on the earth, clean a jack and hold on nuts of fastening of a wheel in a diagonal order with demanded effort. Establish into place a cap. Combine and clean the tool. Do not forget to take and clean protivootkatny boots.

At carrying out more serious, than replacement of a wheel of repair work under the car, besides a jack, special props are usually got. Props can be established under actually domkratny points of thresholds with making of the same whetstone with a groove, or under any of bearing elements of the bottom as it is possible closer to domkratny points of thresholds.

At all do not get a jack under other points of thresholds, the pallet of a case, the panel of a floor or it is direct under components of a steering drive or a suspension bracket!

Do not perform any repair works under the car fixed in lifted situation by means of only one jack! Surely use reliable props!

Towage

Strictly speaking, the car should be towed with the driving (forward) wheels torn off from the earth (best of all in general on a wrecker platform). If it is necessary to make car towage without a separation of forward wheels, turn the ignition key in the situation OFF, in order to avoid damage of the lock of blocking of a wheel.

The cars equipped with AT, can be towed by a forward course on all four wheels with the speed which is not exceeding 55 km/h (35 miles/h) and on distance no more than 80 km (50 miles). Before the beginning of towage check level of transmission liquid (see. Head of Control and routine maintenance). If ATF does not reach level of a mark of NOTES on an edge measuring щупа, it is necessary to make necessary adjustment, or to tow the car only with the forward wheels torn off from the earth. Make the following preparatory procedures:

a) Release the parking brake;
b) Start the engine;
c) Transfer the selector lever to the situation D4, then - in neutral (N);
d) Muffle the engine;
e) Turn the ignition key in the situation OFF (at all do not leave it in the situation LOCK).

Never tow equipped AT the car the back without a separation from the earth of forward wheels!

If there is a need for towage of the car equipped with RKPP or AT of variatorny type (CVT) without a separation of wheels from the earth, do not forget to transfer a control lever to neutral transfer and to release the parking brake.

Use at towage of an emergency vehicle only towing sling specially intended for this purpose which can be got cheaply practically in any shop of automobile accessories. The sling should cling only to bearing body elements, - at all for a bumper.

Do not forget to turn a key in the lock of ignition of the towed car in the situation ON, otherwise inevitably there will be a blocking of a steering column. Besides, at the included ignition indexes of turns and stoplights are activated also.

Remember that at the switched-off engine efficiency of braking of the car considerably decreases because the vacuum amplifier of brakes ceases to function. Thus it is necessary to squeeze out a pedal of a foot brake with a little big, than usually effort. On the models equipped with the power steering, at maneuvering performance the bigger effort should be put to a steering wheel.

The driver of a towed vehicle should try to hold constantly a towing sling tense in order to avoid breakthroughs and arrivals on a sling wheels.

Before a start of motion drivers of both vehicles (towing and towed) should coordinate among themselves a route.
Movement should be carried out only with moderate speeds, on the shortest route and observance of traffic regulations. Avoid sharp braking, accelerations and maneuvering.
