Purpose
This manual has been written to help the owner of the vehicle get the most out of it. This task is achieved in several ways. The data collected and presented below allows the owner of the vehicle to decide what maintenance work should be done and when, and whether it makes sense to try to do it yourself, or you should contact the manufacturer's dealership or car service workshop. The Manual includes descriptions of the procedures for the mandatory routine maintenance of the car and a schedule for their implementation. In addition, information is offered on diagnosing malfunctions of vehicle components and systems (in case of their refusal), as well as ways to eliminate their causes.
This manual has been written on the assumption that most of the vehicle maintenance procedures are performed by the owner himself. Many of the simple jobs can be done in-house by a car enthusiast much faster, given the time it takes to get the vehicle to the auto repair shop, the workload of the workshops, and the trip to the workshop to pick up the car. In addition, and perhaps much more importantly, the independent implementation of maintenance and repair procedures can significantly reduce the material costs associated with this, not to mention the feeling of self-satisfaction from a job well done.
Rules for using the manual
The guide is divided into chapters. Each Chapter is divided into Sections, which in turn consist of paragraphs (consecutively numbered).
The text offered to the attention of readers is accompanied by illustrative material (drawings and photographs), revealing the order and method of performing certain procedures of each of the Sections. Procedures once discussed in the text are usually not repeated further. Instead, where necessary, reference is made to the relevant Section of the relevant Chapter where the procedure has already been referred to.
References to the position of an assembly or component on the left or right of the vehicle are based on the assumption that the reader is in the driver's seat, facing forward.
