The enterprise of the car under conditions of winter

At approach of a winter season you try to have the corresponding equipment and stock in case of unforeseen situations onboard the car: chains of protiwoskolschenija, Schabeisen for cleaning of a glass, a sand reserve, a lamp, the small blade and the offer of the electric leading device for start of the motor of an auxiliary source of power supply.

Use engine oil of the corresponding grade and viscosity, Routine maintenance) intends for cold weather (watch chapter. Thick Sommeröl can cause difficulties at start of the motor.

Process sapornych mechanisms of devices and cylinders of door locks of glycerin or the special device for frosting elimination.

Zwangsaufmachen primersschej of a door can cause office of uplotnitelja rubber of a door. The freezing door before opening is necessary for otogret from hot water then to wipe, nassucho.

For washing of a windshield and lenses of searchlights you use only liquids which guarantee the necessary stability for an otmorazhivaniye.

You do not supplement in a container for the washing liquid means against a cold injury at all
To damage cooling systems which during the meeting of elements of a body it is capable
lakokrassotschnoje providing.

Preparation for a start of motion

Remove from wings of formation of snow and ice which can interfere with functioning of a tax incentive.

At the movement during snowfall you regularly stop and you clean snow from under a wing.
Before an entrance to salon you shake snow which can do pedals dangerously slippery at enamel from boots.

To Anheizzeit of the motor you check serviceability of functioning of accelerator pedals, brakes, connection and other administrative bodies.

Leaving of the battery

They remember that low temperatures overall performance of the battery falls.

At the insufficient level of freight of the battery in frosty weather there is a risk of Erfrierens elektrolita. Regularly you check a state and level of freight of the battery, you make its service and post-freight (as a last resort watch chapter Routine maintenance).

Use of means against a cold injury

At approach of a winter season if air temperature can fall below 0th °C, it is necessary to correct it the means motor cooling system against a cold injury on the basis of ethylene glycol (watch chapter of the cooling system, heating).

Removal of water from the cooling system

At refusal on the enterprise of the car during a winter season in the cooling system are necessary or, correct means against a cold injury, or completely, delete water from ochladitelnogo of a path, - traffic jams of a drain are located under the heater and on the motor block., Before beginning the enterprise of the car you do not forget to repair the cooling system.

Stop during a winter season

Deep snow can cause dangerous concentration of the working gases under car. That did not happen to it, remove at a stop in cold weather by means of the working motor snow from areas which adjoin sewer, and below around the car.


At a long stop in cold weather you avoid the stojanotschnogo appendix of a brake, trossowyj its incentive is subordinated to an otmorazhivaniye.

At a car stop in snow or at snowfall you take away the screen wiper lever from a windshield for prevention of damage of a brush.

At a car stop after the movement after strongly snow-covered road or at a stop during a snowstorm formation of hoarfrost on elements of the brake system is possible that can reduce efficiency of its functioning. Prior to the movement you are convinced of lack of snow and hoarfrost on the hub Aufhängung, Bremsdisks and hoses. As a last resort you delete snow carefully, - you try not to damage Bremsdisks and hoses, installation knots the antiblocking device and elements of pneumatic Aufhängung.

Gas station of the car in cold weather

For the purpose of prevention of education in system of fuel of humidity and its Erfrierens you use special addition for fuel.

Efficiency of action of addition increases at its addition in the thin tank when filling the car.


You give the tank is completely corrected to refusal on use of the car for long time.

The movement after snow-covered roads and to mirror ice

Do not use tempostatom on slippery roads.


For prevention of Gleitens and sanossow you avoid strong brakes, uskoreni and maneuvering, you pay attention to the sure bystry mode.

Always you support a sure distance to going just before transport. Try to use more actively motor brakes, - after a measure and need you switch to the reduced transfer.

Avoid strong switchings to the reduced transfers for prevention of blocking of wheels and loss of obedience.
The system the Antiblocking device improves efficiency of the brake system on is snow-covered and obledenelych is necessary for itself to remind, however, roads that the increased self-confidence of the most serious consequences always of an ugrozhayushch, - you pay attention to care. They remember that wear increases the antiblocking device length of a brake way.

Use of a screen wiper at snowfall

Prior to the movement you are convinced that a brush of a screen wiper not of primersla to a windshield. As a last resort you heat meanwhile a glass, the Auftauens function of glasses of the air conditioning system is chosen (watch comfort).

If at the movement in snowfall a brush of a screen wiper do not guarantee the necessary cleaning of a windshield and naled begins to be formed, will accept heating.

As a last resort you use after sufficient warming up and a rope of snow of omywatel.

primersanije snow to the lever of a screen wiper interferes with normal functioning. As a last resort you stop the car on the sure place and you delete snow.

At a break on a roadside you do not forget to accept the alarm system.

Winter tires

At change of wheels you use only coming nearer after tire tiporasmeru (watch schildu at back racks of a motive door).

All 4 winter tires have to be identically after volume, circles, a design, models and nagrusotschnomu to an index.

Use of various tires can lead to serious mechanical damages of an incentive of wheels and loss of control over management.

Do not establish at the same time radial diagonalnyje/diagonalno umgürtenden of the tire on a car axis.


At application of winter tires (a bystry symbol Q, TON or H) You never cross the maximum admissible border of speed of the movement (160, 190 and 210 km for an hour, as appropriate).

protiwoskolschenija chains

The device on wheels of chains of protiwoskolschenija can demand the movement after snow-covered slopes or obledenelym to roads. Chains have to be established only on forward wheels. You use for prevention of damage of a car body or Aufhängung, a chain which correspond to the volume of tires of your car.

Speed of the movement of the car equipped with chains should not pass 30 km for an hour.

At the movement with chains you pay attention to Höchstvorsicht, - you remember that the increased self-confidence of the most serious consequences of an ugrozhayushch. Are extremely attentive.

Shook cars

If it is necessary to swing the car for departure from snow or dirt, press the accelerator pedal a little and (You postpone at AT) Selektor between provisions "D" and "R". Do not press gas too strongly. At departure from snow or dirt for optimum connection with a surface you avoid wheel probuksowki.

On very slippery tourist providing the provision of transmission "2" guarantees the best connection with a surface as situation "1" (that to itself as too mechanically, and automatic transmission gears remains).

The enterprise of diesel models in winter conditions

At the appendix of summer option of diesel fuel at a temperature of 0 °C below delays can happen in operation of the motor that clears up at increase in viscosity of fuel owing to office of paraffin.

At negative temperatures it is necessary to use winter fuel of the diesel is necessary special ". Depending on brand winter fuel guarantees the continuous enterprise at temperatures from 15 °S to 22 °S.

Use is not allowed as addition to diesel fuel of gasoline, etc. of thinners!

At bad quality of fuel the filter to make this compensation for fuel more often perhaps, it is necessary, than it is provided by ITS planned schedule.
