Fuel

Petrol engines

Unleaded gasoline is not worse AI-95 (engines with the catalytic converter).
Unleaded or etilirovanny gasoline is not worse AI-95 (engines without the catalytic converter).
Application of gasoline not worse AI-91 is allowed, thus engine capacity decreases and fuel consumption increases.

Diesel engines

Automobile (not ship or boiler) summer or winter diesel fuel with the content of sulfur is not higher than 0.5 %. Do not apply biodiesel fuel and methyl air of rapsovy oil.
The preliminary heating of fuel in the filter prevents zagustevany fuels during car movement.
Do not apply special means to reduction of viscosity of fuel.

At temperature drop of external air is lower - 9°С to summer diesel fuel add kerosene (in % from total volume).

From-9 to - 15°С	10 %
From-15 to - 25°С	30 %
Below - 25°С	50 %

At temperature drop of external air is lower - 20°С to winter diesel fuel add means of reduction of viscosity or kerosene (in % from total volume)

From-20 to - 26°С	10 %
From-26 to - 31°С	30 %
Below - 31°С	50 %

As the exception is allowed addition to 30 % of nizkooktanovy gasoline (unleaded for cars with the catalytic converter) to diesel fuel.

Impellent oil should satisfy to both classifications - ASEA: A3-96 and ASEA: In - 3-96 or SSMS-G5 and SSMS-PD2.

Viscosity of oils, is designated on SAE classification. The choice of oil is defined by the average air temperature caused by a season. It is correct to determine a class of oil suitable on viscosity by SAE the chart provided on an accompanying illustration allows. The short-term exit of the actual air temperature out of the bottom or top limit of the designated range is allowed.

- The reduced pressure of air belongs to cold tires. In tires owing to their warming up on 0.2 - 0.4 bar it is not necessary to consider increase of pressure of air arising in the course of movement. At operation of winter tires speed of movement should be lowered.

Owing to emergence of new models of tires and disks they can be applied to installation on cars of earlier release. About possibility of their application it is necessary to consult on HUNDRED.

a) At sports management style the car recommends to increase pressure of air in lobbies and back tires on 0.2 bar. Thus initial pressure is the pressure established for various conditions of loading.
b) At movement with the trailer pressure of air in tires is established according to a condition “Full loading”.
c) Values of pressure of air are specified on a sticker on a rack of a door of the driver.

According to the established rules depth of a profile of the tire should not reach less than 1.6 mm as a result of wear of value. All working surface of the tire should have depth not less than 1.6 mm. It is recommended to replace summer tires at depth of a profile of 2 mm, and winter at depth of a profile of 4 mm.

Designation of tires and disks

Example of designation of the tire

225

width of a profile, mm

/60

the relation of height of a profile of the tire to its width (the height of a profile makes 60 % of width of the tire)
If this parameter is absent (for example, 195 R14), it is a question of the normal relation making 82 %.

radial tire

assembly diameter of a rim in inches

loading capacity index

If between parameters 15 and 96 there is M+S designation, it is a question of the tire with a winter profile.

category of admissible maximum speed.

The category of speed costs at the end of marking. The symbol of speed belongs both to summer, and to winter tires.

Date of manufacturing of the tire
Date of manufacturing of the tire is presented in the form of a code of the manufacturer.

Example: DOT CUL2 UM8 286 <TUBELESS
DOT - transport department (The ministry of transport of the USA)
CU - a code of the manufacturer
L2 - the size of the tire
UM8 - tire execution
286-manufacturing date - the 38th working week 1997
<-a symbol of decade (1990 - 1999г.г.)
TUBELESS - the tubeless tire (TUBETYPE - chamber)

Example of designation of a disk: 7Jx15:
7-width of a rim in inches
J-marking of height and a rim profile (In - lower form of a nozzle)
x - designation of the disk consisting of one detail
15-diameter of a rim in inches

If at the end of marking of the tire there is a word "reinforced", it is a question of the tire of the strengthened execution.
