Purpose
This Guide has been compiled to help the owner of the vehicle get the most out of it. This task is accomplished in several ways. The data collected and presented below allows the owner of the vehicle to determine what maintenance work should be done and when, and whether it makes sense to try to do it themselves or to contact a representative office of the manufacturer or a car service workshop. The Guide includes descriptions of mandatory routine maintenance and repair procedures for the vehicle, as well as a schedule for their implementation. In addition, information is provided on diagnosing faults in vehicle components and systems (in case of their refusal), as well as ways to eliminate their causes.
Rules for using the manual
The manual is divided into chapters. Each chapter is divided into sections. Sections, in turn, are divided into subsections and, where necessary, into sub-subsections and consist of paragraphs (also sequentially numbered).
The proposed text is accompanied by explanatory illustrations.
The description of procedures mentioned once in the text is usually not repeated a second time. Instead, if necessary, a reference is made to the corresponding section/subsection of the corresponding chapter where the given procedure has already been encountered.
References to the position of a component or assembly to the left or right of the vehicle are taken as facing forward in the driver's seat.
All procedures in this Manual are described in a simple and accessible form. If you strictly follow the instructions in the text and the accompanying illustrations, no difficulties should arise.
Due attention must be paid to the technical requirements and tightening forces for threaded connections given in the specifications at the beginning of each chapter. The specifications must be followed for all work. Within individual sections, the necessary dimensions and values for adjustment are not always given.
The simplest operations, such as "opening the hood" or "loosening the wheel nuts", are taken for granted and are also not always mentioned.
On the contrary, the text describes in detail the most complex procedures that require a detailed description.
