General information

This chapter was formed with the purpose to help the owner of the car to support the vehicle in a condition of the maximum readiness for operation, receiving from it effective return with observance of requirements to profitability and safety.

The schedule of routine maintenance of the car is provided in the Section Schedule of Routine Maintenance. Below the sections devoted to a detailed statement of an order of performance of each of procedures of service separately are offered attention of the reader. Material included descriptions of visual checks, adjustments, procedures of removal and installation of components, and also various useful tips and recommendations.

The components of a compartment of 4-cylinder engines which are subject to regular service


1 — the Cover of a jellied mouth of motive oil with the built-in probe 2 — the Tank of brake fluid 3 — the Assembly block of the relay and safety locks 4 — the Broad tank of the cooling system 5 — the Tank of liquid of windscreen washers	6 — the Rechargeable battery 7 — the Probe of measurement of the ATF level 8 — the Turbocompressor 9 — Assembly of coils of ignition 10 — the GUR liquid Tank

The components of a compartment of the petrol V6 engine which are subject to regular service


1 — the Probe of measurement of level of motive oil 2 — the Cover of a jellied mouth of motive oil 3 — the Tank of brake fluid 4 — the Assembly block of the relay and safety locks 5 — the Broad tank of the cooling system	6 — the Tank of liquid of windscreen washers 7 — the Rechargeable battery 8 — the Probe of measurement of the ATF level 9 — Assembly of coils of ignition 10 — the GUR liquid Tank

The components of a compartment of the diesel engine which are subject to regular service


1 — To a ryshka of a jellied mouth of motive oil 2 — the Tank of brake fluid 3 — the Assembly block of the relay and safety locks 4 — the Broad tank of the cooling system	5 — the Tank of liquid of windscreen washers 6 — the Rechargeable battery 7 — the Probe of measurement of level of motive oil 8 — the GUR liquid Tank

Serving the car according to the stipulated kilometrazhno-time schedule, and following the detailed recommendations provided below, the reader will receive the accurate action program which implementation will provide long duration and reliability of service of its vehicle. Remember that this program is made on a complex basis and implementation only of its separate points with neglect others will not result in desirable result.

Do not forget as well that at severe conditions of operation as, for example, at primary operation of the car in a city cycle, frequent movements in the mountain area, towage of the trailer or the movement in the conditions of the increased dust content maintenance should be carried out more often.

In the course of service of the car the reader will be convinced that many procedures can, and have to be united in the general groups in view of similarity of the nature or proximity of an arrangement of knots. For example, if the car for any reason is lifted above the ground, it is necessary to take an opportunity and at the same time to check a condition of components of system of production of the fulfilled gases, a suspension bracket and steering. Also, having hired a dynamometer key, check effort of tightening of all available carving fixture. Making rotation of wheels, at the same time estimate a condition of brake mechanisms and wheel bearings.

The first step of service of the vehicle is always self-training of the performer. Attentively get acquainted with material of the present chapter, then make the list of the components needing attention, prepare the necessary tool and outline the short plan of the forthcoming works. In case of emergence resistant to solution of problems ask for the help specialists of car service.
