Repair and operation of the car

The jack which is included in the standard package of the car is intended only for performance of procedures of change of wheels. When carrying out any other repair or scheduled maintenance the car should be lifted by means of hydraulic (or cart) a jack and it is obligatory to establish on the special props got under the bearing bottom points. 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 hard coating. In the presence of the slightest bias it is necessary will take care of precautionary measures against kickback: prop up the wheel located on a diagonal from a subject to removal by antiretractable boots, firmly cock the parking brake. Try not to depart far from the poddomkrachenny car, especially if nearby there are children.

Before poddomkrachivat the car, take off a decorative cap and a wheel wrench weaken nuts of fastening of the wheel which is subject to replacement. Prepare a zapaska.

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

The jack should be brought to the strengthened points which are specially intended for this purpose in forward or back part of thresholds.

Take care of reliability of gearing of a head of a jack in a threshold stiffening rib ledge. Rotating the jack handle, lift the car so that the wheel which is 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 the demanded effort. Establish into place a cap. Put and remove the tool. Do not forget to take and clean antiretractable boots.

When carrying out more serious, than replacing 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 the bearing bottom elements as it is possible closer to domkratny points of thresholds.

Do not get a jack under other points of thresholds, the pallet of a case, the panel of a floor or directly under components of the steering drive or a suspension bracket at all!

Do not perform any repair work under the car fixed in the 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 which are torn off from the earth (best of all in general on a wrecker platform). If it is necessary to make towage of the car without 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 the forward course on all four wheels with a speed which is not exceeding 55 km/h (35 miles/h) and on distance no more than 80 km (50 miles). Before towage check the level of transmission liquid (see the Head Nastroyki and routine maintenance). If ATF does not reach the level of a mark of NOTES in an edge of the measuring probe, it is necessary to make necessary adjustment, or to tow the car only with the forward wheels which are 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 - to neutral (N);
d) Kill the engine;
e) Turn the ignition key in the situation OFF (do not leave it in the situation LOCK at all).

Never tow the car equipped with AT the back without 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 separation of wheels from the earth do not forget to transfer a control lever to neutral transfer and to release the parking brake.

Use the towing sling which is only specially intended for this purpose which can practically be got cheap in any shop of automobile accessories at towage of the emergency vehicle. The sling has to cling only to the bearing body elements, - at all not to 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 also indexes of turns and stoplights are activated.

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 by effort. On the models equipped with the power steering when performing maneuvering the bigger effort should be put to a steering wheel.

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

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