15. Avoid spilling acids, soda solutions, brake fluid, antifreeze
and fuel on the painted surface of the bodyshell, wheels and rubber
parts.
16. In order to prevent turbidity of the headlamp assembly lenses
and scratches on them:
- dry foreign materials on the external surface of the lens must
be cleaned off only by pre-moistening them with plenty of water;
- do not apply aggressive chemical substances (petrol, acetone,
solvents, etc.), aggressive detergents and sharp objects to clean
headlamp assembly lens;
- to prevent overheating of the headlamp assembly lens, do not
switch on heavily polluted headlamp assemblies. Do not switch on
headlamp assemblies covered with any object.
17. Before washing motor vehicle in an automatic washer and
entering low-ceilinged rooms, always remove the antenna otherwise
it can be damaged. To remove the antenna, unscrew it counter-
clockwise. To install, screw it in clockwise.
18. When folding the two-passenger section of the back triple
seat make sure that the middle seat belt is not fastened. Monitor
the condition of the plastic limiting clip of the middle seat belt.
19. Using the heater fan at above average to maximum operation
modes under pouring rain conditions can result in soaking of the
filter for air entering the interior and dripping ingression of moisture
at the feet of the front passenger.
20. Avoid impact loads on the motor vehicle chassis. In case of
strong blows to the front wheels, carefully inspect the wheels, all
parts of the front axle, steering links, steering gear and engine oil
pan and correct detected defects.
21. To prevent excessive loads on the axle differential, avoid
long-term slipping of one of the wheels.
22. When operating a motor vehicle in cold season (ambient
temperature is max. 0°C) it is recommended to apply a cold weather
radiator cowl cover.
To prevent freezing through of the engine positive crankcase
ventilation control system junction pipe, at ambient temperature
below (-15°C) it is necessary to disconnect the resonator-type hose
from the air filter, turn the filter tightly counter-clockwise (the air
filter inlet spigot will be backward and downward directed).
At ambient temperature below -30°C it is recommended to operate
the motor vehicle with the front axle continuously engaged.
