On the BMW X6 made its debut electronic system called Dynamic Performance Control. This is the same stability, but working on a different principle. When you start the demolition or oversteer, it extinguishes it is not by selectively freezes the wheels, and redistributing the traction between them! This is not only security but also speed. Though what else could we expect from BMW? Ironically, the emergence of hybrids. Yes, the Frankfurt show economical option X6 called Active Hybrid. Green Car of the colleague is not only a more modest intake and not so blatantly protruding exhaust pipes, he and fuel consumption by 20% smaller than its counterpart. However, in an official press release, BMW phrase "driving pleasure" is still more common "environmental" and "efficiency".

Reviews for Hyundai Tucson

As part of the placement of feedback from users to publish reviews of owners of one of the most popular SUVs Hyundai Tucson. Theodore S., Moscow Normal car. For the first time in Korean - very pleasantly surprised. Suspension - hard to kill. Consumption - quite tolerable, 12 liters. Dynamics - not super, but ok, not much different from 2.7 (I really did chip tuning). Salon absolutely not impressed. Do not take a light velvet! Very dirty. Patency - super, not just on the notch with different Offroad 4x4, everything began to respect "Tushkana. I've been in an accident came to me on the forehead in 2109 departed. Nothing Tushkan strong! WHA was formed, and I have only the left part of the car crumpled, and that not much ... In short, the ratio of price-quality-competition is a leader!. By the way, I had 7 different cars before it, there's something to compare ... Mileage is 65000 km, in general, satisfied with everything. Dmitry h. The car more than meets the concept of "value for money." After a long search, counseling, test-drives (very important when choosing), I was determined and fit all the above in the amount accrued by purchasing a Hyundai Tucson. I go almost a year, very happy, mileage is not great, so deficiencies (if any) are yet to come. However, some things make me discontent, such as: high for the driver prevents the steering wheel on / off button forced-wheel drive, traction and exchange rate systems, rear fog lamps - they simply are not visible from behind the wheel.

How to deal with the traffic police, traffic police

Be informed - is forearmed. The driver must know not only the traffic rules, but also their civil rights, the rights and responsibility of traffic police officers, operating regulations, that is, have a certain legal culture. Without this, the motorist at risk of becoming a cash cow for fraud, graft and dishonest employees of traffic police. Stopping "on demand" Stop the car at the request of traffic police officer - a legal act, which usually begins with a dialogue "inspector - the driver and which could have serious consequences for both sides. Stopping the vehicle and its causes are governed by regulations MIA: Order of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russian Federation № 329 dated 01.06.1998, and Manual on the work of the DPS traffic police, approved by Decree of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russian Federation № 297 dated 04.20.1999, the (hereinafter Manual DPS). Reasons to stop the vehicle registered in p.13.7 Manual DPS and item 2 of order number 329. I advise readers to remember the names of the documents and the below mentioned items are marked in bold, because mention them in conversations with GAI officers demonstrates your legal literacy. Prohibited from stopping the vehicle without the need for (p.13.7 Manual DPS). Although any check can motivate the search a stolen car or carrying out special operations. But in any case they will feel DPS officer should be called distinctly his position, rank, name and indicate the reason for the stop of your vehicle (p.18.2 Manual DPS).

Planting smallish and soundproofing is not very much, and everything is super! There were minor problems - nedotyanuv one year from date of purchase, the car lost traction. Arriving in the salon where purchased, I was told that I'm wrong exploited the car. Although I served for 10 years. And most importantly if you have a warranty case, then you wait a long time, and money demand all at once! The case was before the New Year, you know how to need a car in this time. I had to agree. A little later came the skiff central locking, well this time were not breeding, all done almost immediately, but hinted if you do not want to wait, you'll pay and everything will be fast. In short, do not give a reason to dissolve itself with the money if you have a car still under warranty - stamping their feet, scream and threaten about an independent examination, it will help! Ivan, Novokuznetsk This is my first new car is not counting the cars produced in Russia. Originally thought of buying a new TOYOTA AURIS, the first photo I found on a German site, the subsequent interest in this model from Toyota has started to die after being found with complete information. Not staged engine performance was not enough drive.

Reviews are the owners of the Mitsubishi Lancer X

We offer you a selection of recent feedback from owners of one of the most popular cars of the last time - Mitsubishi Lancer X. Cyril, Moscow For today finally took his horse. Car - super! I liked everything, is going like an airplane - a little unusual sound of the engine during acceleration and at high speeds, but very enjoyable. Mileage on the odometer was 7 km. Upon receipt showed only one drawback - the edge of the right taillight was lying almost on the bumper, without a gap. At my request, all this is eliminated on the spot, replacing the lamp. Also show that lateral support in the seat backs in the Invite + developed slightly less than Intense. Presented with a bottle of Chilean wine. Very bad in the daylight can be seen the information (track number or station name) on a regular cassette recorder. Central locking only works from a button on the driver's door. Ie to get out and close it with no remote control alarm, you must first click on the door to close all doors, leave the car and the key to close the driver's door. Ie from outside the key you close only his door, the rest of this do not react. If not fastened, every 1-2 minutes there is a loud signal, so that or we need to buckle up or to make a hornblende. Do like the drive. Especially the reaction to the kick-down. He pressed the accelerator, speed increased, and immediately began overclocking! Instantaneous reaction (as compared with the thoughtfulness conventional machines). And she just "can not" go slow.

Music in the car is dangerous

The nature of music directly affects the likelihood of accidents. British Automobile Association of GEM Motoring Assist conducted a serious study which showed that listening to certain tracks seriously increases the risk of accidents. Tests conducted on students driving courses, ie people have not yet formed reflexes professional driver. Just among the number of novice drivers crash risk is greatest. Inside different cars playing different music - fast and slow. In the study revealed that not a quick play quiet songs almost no influence on the style of driving - and speed, and attention paid to the situation on the road comply with the regime "without music". But under the high-speed track drivers unwittingly tried to go with a higher average speed, and paid less attention to the situation on the track. A very inexperienced newcomers start at the wrong time to switch the speed. Fast rhythmic music you usually listen to a loud sound drowns out the sound of the engine. As a result, the motor starts to work with congestion at high speeds. And when the sound of music did too loud, drivers have stopped to listen to sounds of other vehicles and do not notice the other road users. According to researchers, loud music affects the negative side, not only for beginners, but also in experienced drivers, regardless of driving experience. When the rhythm of the music for more than 60 bpm (beats per minute) heart starts to beat faster, raises blood pressure. Man strives to make more rapid movements, he wants to go faster, he is more nervous, which increases the likelihood of an accident.

Nissan Qashqai. Reviews.

For motorists who want to buy a great crossover (aka SUV), we offer a fresh selection of reviews of car owners Nissan Qashqai. Maxim, Moscow bought a Qashqai ... waited for 4 months, like two-liter, but I was offered a refusal 1,6 and was told that my 2 liter will have to wait another 4 months, I have not given up and bought 1.6. The machine is high, the driver's seat is arranged quite decently, but to be honest from the outside, the car looks bigger than the inside. Finally, I got the cheapest equipment. I gave a little more than 570 TR For the money you can buy a car from similar except that only the Hyundai Tucson (Hyundai Tussal), but it is not comparable to the machine ... So if you have a question to take or not, my answer - take mandatory. Although it is a little bit and thunders, and plastic is not very good, but this is nitpicking - the merits of the car much more than the small gaps that exist everywhere. Igor, Moscow Collision I Qashqai only 4000km, but has already love him, for example, for good lateral support, electric power steering, looks and interior. Excellent trim, nice leather, compact, generally much every positive moments. But, I must say there are downsides. This is a little space in the back seat armrest and uncomfortable. Fall off the plastic fastening elements for safety belts for rear passengers. Rain sensors and electric power steering slightly retarding. At maximum speed 180km / h the car swaying badly. And the dynamics of dispersal is not the best.

Psychology of the driver. A man and a woman

Militia reports claim that the lady in half as likely as men become perpetrators of car accidents. And if they get into them, the consequences of these accidents are less serious than those culprits who have become men. And it all begins with more courses on driving or driving schools. The woman would not sit behind the wheel until it is certain that learned to slow down, gazovat, the transfer switch. A sat behind the wheel would not touch with a place, not wearing a seat belt. It is true that such a compression, or torque, it is unlikely to understand and assimilate. But why is it fair half of mankind, if there is a stronger sex? Look closely at how a woman chooses a car. If someone thinks that the main thing - color, he is mistaken. The lady at first to find out whether airbags, only whether the front or the car is equipped with more and side. Well, it's now something like the turn of the color choices. Is not it so? Not so. The lady ask what a machine "appetite" that is what the fuel consumption. The smaller, the more queen prefers to buy this car. And finally, what color car to buy. Some people think that if a man chose the red car and bought the exact same woman, then they have the same character traits, like the psyche. And here and there. A man who buys a red car, as a rule, easily excitable, but othodchiv. A woman who prefers red cars, confident, independent, enjoys a high status in society. A man driving a yellow car is not very reliable, it can disrupt the word, being late for important meetings.

Driving a car with automatic transmission

Driving a car equipped with "automatic" requires special knowledge and skills, the neglect of which could result in serious damage to an expensive host. Life goes on. Sooner or later the man comes to understand the need for change in his automotive career. " Let's talk about various aspects related to the upcoming elections a car. For those who are yet to be, remember that the machines come with a manual (hand) gear and automatic (AUTO). What is a "manual" box and how to use it, it is hardly necessary to explain. Least because "mechanics" are equipped with cars at all training centers. Who had a chance to comprehend the basics of driving, of course, remember how much suffering they have caused an elementary solution of the problem: budge. When it suddenly turned out, immediately there is another problem: switch the lever in overdrive. Then forget to squeeze the clutch, then for some reason, will enter at the wrong speed. In general, not so simple. As in all things, the mechanics also have a positive side. The driver produces an automatism of movements, and he no longer talks about the sequence of operations, but simply goes to his pleasure. True, as long as not "steer" vehicle, equipped with only two pedals and automatic transmission. Under intense city traffic is particularly convenient. Not least because there is no need to grasp at every moment lever. Intelligent automation itself does everything. "Automatic" are different: the simple, adaptive (adjust to the style of driving) and even having the possibility of manual gear changes.

Restyling of the Peugeot 107

Transport of animals in the car

Subject hedgehog under the pedal "raised in the pages of automotive publications several hundred times. And all motorists probably already know: the four-legged passengers can easily cause an accident. But few are able to avoid hassles associated with unrestrained pets in the cabin. We offer several recommendations. To begin with, if possible, limit the movement of pet in the cabin, trying, however, does not transform the car into a mobile prison. What were my options? Cats, small dogs, rabbits and the like are best taken to the so-called "carry" - a well-ventilated mesh baskets with lids that do not interfere with breathing and Review. If your little animals are categorically against such a mode of transportation, it is desirable that during the ride look after them one of the passengers. When you're taking, "unpacked" the animal, try to drive smoothly. With a sharp maneuver or brake a cat, trying to keep his balance, immediately take advantage of claws and the dog can fall down from the seat and you still have to listen to it for a long time of suffering poskulivaniya ... By the way, going to put on the seat of a dog, do not forget to lay a some old blanket - paws are rarely pure, and molt animals in the road always somehow stronger (from stress, probably). Just do not use these for PE - it glides and electrified! Transportation of small animals like hamsters, hedgehogs, turtles is simple: be reliably sealed boxes or cartons, so as not to run away on the road.

Useful tips to drivers

How to clean the engine, how to clean the dust? How to clean sediment from gasoline pipeline engine? What to remove deposits from the pistons, piston rings, so as not to damage the parts? What can replace fan belt on a long trip? On these and other questions will have already found the experienced drivers. We offer you a selection of useful tips. While the engine is under the hood is closed and the dust, wash it still needed. What wash? Kerosene and gasoline can in any case - it's too dangerous. For this purpose, a well-proven synthetic detergents. In half a bucket of warm water dissolve about a glass of washing powder designed for washing cotton or synthetic fabrics. Engine wash this solution with a brush, then wash with clean water. It is best to use special tools for cleaning a car engine, such as "cleaner engine." * The inner surface of the inlet pipe automobile engine is gradually covered by sediment drops out of petrol. Sediment is so much that the pipeline flow area is reduced, thereby reducing the power of the engine deteriorates the stability of its work and increases fuel consumption. These deposits are preferably removed after about every 20-30 thousand kilometers the car. For this purpose, mainly used mechanical means such as scrapers, cutters, scrapers, etc., as common solvents deposits do not apply. Sometimes used on the fire burning deposits can not be recommended because of the inevitable warping pipeline with all its consequences (violation of sealing the joint with the cylinder head, air intake, lean). * Uncolored exhaust pipe attached to a slovenly appearance, even clean and well maintained engine.

How to Behave in an accident

In practice there are no drivers who never got in an accident. Minor clashes, mutual "ground glass" Kicks - fairly common occurrence on our roads. With the introduction of compulsory third party liability insurance was to disentangle the consequences of an accident a little easier, but nonetheless, still holds a number of tips and advice on how to behave in a traffic accident. Stop the vehicle common mistake: the driver, yielding to persuasion does not create a "cap" free passage under the bridge or drive off to the side with the tramways, and removes the car from the accident site. He has no idea that his hands had destroyed evidence, which is practically impossible to determine who is to blame. Record Witnesses Witnesses - are people who personally seen the accident (witnesses) present at the conversation, or drivers, when the culprit admitted (denied) his guilt offering (or, conversely, extorting) money. The best witnesses a traffic accident - drivers. Write down the registration number and brands of cars, to be near the accident scene to the next row or at an intersection. Find the driver for this car will be easy. Collision occurs in a few seconds, and find someone personally who saw the accident, rather than standing cars, it is extremely difficult. Therefore, you should write to these witnesses, until they parted ways. Useful and other witnesses, even if they are your relatives, friends, children. Degree of interest in the outcome of the case will determine the investigator.

Operating a car in winter

Winter cold - a serious test for the driver and his car. So, what to expect from his iron horse with the onset of cold weather? We begin with models of gasoline, primarily rear-wheel drive with manual transmission. At first glance, these models are relatively undemanding, fairly safe, easy and inexpensive to repair, but the number of failures is large. Begun to move. If we talk about the main faults that occur, especially in anticipation of the autumn-winter season, it is usually the failure of the battery. Old cars, batteries are rarely changed. Second - wear starters in the first place - starter bushings. In addition, the oil thickens in the winter, if not fill a high-quality all-season or winter. Of course, it is more expensive, and often buy what is cheaper. But when it freezes, the starter can not be at normal speed Crank the engine, so even a weak battery, - to run such an engine at -15 ° C is extremely difficult. In this case, the drivers heated pan and pour hot water inlet manifold. Though better to use more modern means. There are special additives containing ether and special oils. After removing the lid, this mixture should be injected directly into the carburetor. We also recommend cleaning the carburetor, replace the spark plugs. After launch. At the beginning of the movement should be remembered that the old car oil in the transmission is usually very dense. At low temperatures, it thickens at all. Therefore, get a move on very carefully, slowly releasing the clutch pedal.

Initial equipping a used car

All behind: the car was bought, put on record and even "obmyt. The next morning you're going to use it for other purposes, for example, in order to visit your favorite aunt in the village. Stop! Car - not a refrigerator, where it all comes down to what to remove the packing and filling products. The same is almost a "living" creature that requires care and attention. Remember from the beginning: well-maintained vehicles are responsible for good care, and almost never lets the owner. This is not mysticism - it is the law of life. Running "Cars" sophisticated revenge on their negligent owners: refusing to wind up at the wrong time, they throw different "podlyanki on checkup or during the sale, bringing the owner to white heat. Than swearing, cursing this "damned vacuum cleaner", and get better my car a little bit of precious time, and she will thank for years (and who, decades) of impeccable service! So, you - the owner with respect to brand new car, which even managed to get themselves off the market before the traffic police, and then the garage. In today an assembly capable of it, not all instances. All half-baked inexperienced owners are usually one of two extreme ways: one immediately with experienced friends and begin to "learn and improve" the design is almost completely turning over the entire machine, and the girls - decorating her teddy junk. Others, by contrast, "Dorval to bagels, go, go, go ... until something does not break or fall off (and it will fall off, believe me!).

Types of women behind the wheel

With whom only women drivers did not compare! "And with a frightened cat and a monkey with a grenade, and a cow on ice" But these days, fortunately, were in the area of ??daily life (as in all others), a woman now feels quite confident. The woman on the road today has become so frequent that psychologists seriously talking about a special type of behavior women drivers. How do these types differ from men's style of driving, as are purely female - to judge you. Type One: Business stops her. usually for speeding and unjustifiable chaotic rebuilding. It's not that the driver enjoys driving fast, not at all - she just always in a hurry, afraid of being late, trying to succeed in several places simultaneously. This style of life (and schedule for the day to do as much as another barely have time for a week) dictates the speed of movement, respectively. Therefore, to justify such a driver will not likely try to quickly "agree", because the time lost in the disassembling, for it is in itself a punishment. Type Two: Registered User It is not a lover drive fast, but speed limits are not violated less often than the previous type. And all because the poor girl is simply no other way: at normal speed, her attention immediately begins to dissipate and slide on the passersby, billboards and shop windows. And at the speed of one hundred kilometers simply have no other choice but to focus on process management - to live something like "Another specific voditelnits violation of this type - a complete disregard for the movement of the bands.

New traffic rules

1. If drivers and pedestrians standing on the side of a pedestrian raised his hand with exposed up his thumb, so he admired your car and driving conditions. Thank him a slight nod of the head. If straight ahead you see a voting walker, which means you have entered the polling station. If the rainy weather, you accidentally sprayed pedestrians walking on the sidewalk, never pretended to have done it accidentally. If approaching the crosswalk, you have noticed in him a man with a white cane, it means that at least one color you discern. Pedestrians are at the moment when the yellow signal lights were on the roadway, shall as soon as possible to release her, and if it is impossible to lie down, covering his head in his hands. 2. SIGNALS traffic controller If you stand at the intersection directing traffic stretched out his right hand, then he asks to drive it to the next intersection. If you stand at the crossroads of traffic cop raised his hand high up with striped stick, it means: "Look at all of what I have a striped baton!" If you stand at the intersection directing traffic suddenly jumped to the side, make sure not too if you took the left. If the regulator arms stretched out in parties or omitted, this means that from the back and chest regulator no hands no. 3. How to deal with police employee If you are behind the wheel of another car while intoxicated, no driver's license and driving at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour on Human Settlements in the area of ??the sign "Passage Denied" on the road with one way traffic in the opposite direction stream of moving vehicles, not including the indicator lights, overtaking cars GAI, stop, and after approximation of the inspector, ask him a question: what the hell he, sober, competent, and the rights went in this direction on this road? 4.

Commandments of night riding

Sooner or later, but you have to change my promise never to drive at night. This is life, and at night, for obvious reasons, it does not end but only begins. That friend requests at midnight immediately pick her up from the opposite end of town, the relatives arrive and they must meet. But you never know the reasons for opening night driving! Wherefore, read and heed! Commandment One. Lights. If your car has an automatic headlamp leveling or "smart" suspension that follows the position of the body over the road in front of overnight trip in advance to adjust the light. Without certain knowledge is unlikely to succeed, and hence, trust specialist. Not blind drivers of vehicles passing through the mirror. Turn off the high beam, when you sit on the tail of any car. Commandment Two. Windshield. At least once a month to wash it crystal-clear on both sides. Oil stains, traces of lipstick and touch of the mud, completely invisible by day, night, refract light in a dazzling oncoming traffic, "nebula". Sometimes the case comes to a complete loss of visibility. The Third Commandment. Dusk. Headlights on before nightfall. Dangerous to themselves and others who travels to the twilight on the unlit car. The car is not flat. Saving electricity in it is stupid. The Fourth Commandment. Colliding cars. Suppose you and the next to meet the driver switched to low beam. Still on a narrow road a short glare can not be avoided. Share a moment you go blind. Therefore, before siding move the leg from the accelerator to the brake.

Starting the engine from an external source

Using the engine during start-up an external power supply must comply with certain safety rules. If electrical wires for "lighting a" thick, consider yourself lucky. Very good material for wire is copper. Insulation must be durable, but soft, not to "dubela" in the cold (the best - silicone). The connection ends of the wires with clips have to be soldered on, as a simple crimp, usually not enough. The optimal length of the wires should not exceed 1,5-2 meters. Shorter than the wire, the lower their resistance. As for clips, popularly referred to as "crocodiles", when purchasing look them in the "teeth" - well, if they are sharp, in which case you are not without reason, can count on the best contact. With "lighting a" cars do not touch each other. You must turn off all power consumers. Connect the positive terminals: first cable attached to the "plus" a discharged battery, then - to the "plus" the battery of the donor. Now you can fasten the cable to the minus-charged battery and the weight "of the recipient." To do this, select the unpainted parts motor, remote from the battery, moving parts and fuel wires. Start the engine of your assistant and give him a run for several minutes. It is desirable to bring the crankshaft of the car to the middle, ie, to about 2000 rpm. After that you can include a starter on the car, "the recipient". Give the "smokers" to work in a "Spark" for 3-4 minutes and only then rassoedinyayte wire in the sequence, the reverse connection.

Additional costs when buying a new car

So, you save money and are ripe to buy a new car, consulted with friends and relatives, honored guest, automobile magazines, and finally choose your favorite model. Defined with a company that will acquire the car and moved out of the showroom. What pitfalls can you expect out there, and what to look for when buying a new car - we'll consider in this paper. Once the reservation that all the reasons mentioned below is, of course, not all show. As a rule, the practice of small companies, but nevertheless, not without reason there is a saying, "warned - is forearmed." If the car is in the configuration that you want at this point in the showroom will not appear, then most likely you will be prompted to make a down payment (of around 5-10% of the cost of auto) and sign the contract. The document will stipulate among other things, and delivery - depending on the type of machines it can reach the three months to a year. When you stand the test of anxious waiting, also will appear at the appointed day, you explain that car at that price that you have chosen, unfortunately, has not and will not, but this "Beauty" delivered "specifically for your order" Alas, now stands at 50 (60, 70, 100 ...) of thousands more. How so? - You have rebelled. Then you poke his nose in the text of the agreement that you signed without reading. And there in black and white: "The price of cars can be changed by the manufacturer. Manager with the report that, of course, you can refuse, but that the deposit will have to leave the store, because both are stipulated in the contract.

Trim. Requirements for materials

Shop the modern car can be filled with plastic, wood, metal or even carbon fiber ... Fantasy designers knows no bounds. But there are specific requirements for the road finishing materials, caused not only an attractive appearance, but also in terms of comfort and safety. When choosing the finishing materials automakers are primarily guided by the requirements of security. As a rule, the standards in different countries regulate the content of harmful substances in the car. In particular, for certification in Russia, experts measure the concentration in the car carbon oxide and nitrogen dioxide, methane, saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons and formaldehyde. True, the bulk of these hazardous substances penetrate the interior from outside, including the exhaust, and interior design elements affect the ecological conditions only partly. Do not forget the automakers and the soundproofing - recently finishing materials are gaining in soundproofing, thereby improving the acoustic comfort of vehicles. Also, if you trim cars are usually taken into account the materials used in traumatic accidents. In one way or another is governed by the standards in both Europe and the USA. For example, when tested by the method of EuroNCAP car reduce overall evaluation, if after hitting the interior elements injure or even pose a risk to the occupants. That's why automakers are very rarely used in the interiors of metal elements. Interestingly, when the vehicle certification verified as resistance to ignition of interior parts.

TIMING: belt or chain?

In modern engines are often timing mechanism is a toothed belt or chain. What is preferable? In fact, each drive type has its pluses and minuses. The main advantage of the chain of transmission - this is its durability. If the production chain of high-quality materials were used, but its exploitation is going through the observance of all necessary conditions (heavy grease, proper tension, etc.), it can be a very long time. At least not less than the motor. In addition, smaller chain belt, whose width is typically reaches 2-3 cm on the other hand, the chain drive is more expensive and harder to manufacture. Therefore, often it is used in the engines of luxury cars, such as, for example, BMW, "Mercedes" or "Jaguar". Timing belt cost automaker significantly cheaper. Because of this he became widespread in the massive engines available machines. Another strong argument in its favor - at work, it produces less noise than a chain. As for life - minus the main belt, but today, many manufacturers say it at 100.000-150.000 kilometers. And it will agree, is not enough ...

Soundproofing car

Constant noise from the many thousands of vehicles - an essential feature of any modern city. From this annoying hum can not hide, even in the cabin of the car. Quite the contrary - when moving to this hum to add your own sounds from the tires, wind, and working mechanisms. How to win this mish-mash of sounds and what to look at the order of work on soundproofing? As a rule, the origin of noise in the cabin belongs to several sources. In addition to the street sounds we hear, first of all vibration from the engine and suspension. They are transmitted to the body that performs involuntary part of the resonator, amplifying outside noise. If an automobile manufacturer saved on the elements of sound insulation, and trim dominates the ringing plastic, such a vibration noise can be quite unpleasant to our ears. Contribute to a cacophony of sounds are added and other "musicians". Some models are noisy decent tires, the tread elements Ave bumps on the asphalt causes a monotonous drone. It happens that scattered thunder in the glove compartment or trunk of things, but at least it can be influenced without special expenses. Many motorists believe that additional insulation is required only prior to installation in the machine high-quality audio. In fact it is misleading. Because acoustic comfort rather strongly affects the mood of the driver, his health, and, consequently, on traffic safety. A boast protection against noise can not every car. To the greatest extent it concerns the domestic brands and affordable cars.

Driving School. Brake pedal and handbrake

Drivers adhere to such rules: brakes must always be in good repair, and should use them as sparingly as possible. When driving at moderate speed to slow progress often enough smooth engine braking by reducing the number of revolutions the crankshaft without the clutch and transmission. Jam on the brakes is not recommended, except in cases where the risk of collision with an obstacle or a pedestrian. The brake pedal is operated with the right foot driver. Click on the pedal gently, gradually, and let go quickly. When you press the pedal going all-wheel lockup, while the rear car lights red "stoplight." When you release the pedal wheel disinhibited, and the signal goes out. Simultaneous lockup of the wheels provides the correct adjustment of the braking system of the car. Parking brake handle is located on either the right or left side of the steering column (depending on the make and model of car) and managed by, respectively, either the right or left hand. When pulling the handle over the rear wheels of the car braked, when you release it - disinhibited. Use the parking brake handle, usually only at sites and at failure of the drive wheel brakes.

Fire extinguisher in the car

In accordance with the Traffic Regulations in the car must be a fire extinguisher. But in the shops on the shelves of quite a large selection of models. What characteristics into account, and what better choice? Parameters, which must comply with car fire extinguishers are set out in GOST R 51709-2001 "Vehicles. Safety requirements for technical conditions and methods of verification." On March 1, 2007, amendments to that document, whereby cars and trucks must be equipped with "not less than one powder or hladonovym (carbon dioxide) extinguisher minimum capacity of 2 liters. We recommend to equip the machine with dry powder, as they effectively extinguish a burning electrical wiring - the main cause of fires in cars. Also, be aware that the shelf life of any fire extinguisher (regardless of its type) is limited, and after this time it should be replaced. Therefore, buying a fire extinguisher, be sure to ask when it was manufactured. When buying a fire extinguisher for your car, pay attention not only on the SRO-life, but also on the safety seals and the cylinder pressure.

Flavours and washers

Most people do not notice this, but remember that smell in the car could easily lead to dangerous allergic reactions. Therefore we advise motorists: before hanging in the cabin of flavor, make sure it does not cause you or your loved ones irritation. Also, when choosing a fragrance, keep in mind that smells have a direct impact on people. Thus, an orange has a sedative effect, mint, lavender, cinnamon stimulate, needles, fights fatigue, enhances memory rose, lemon sharpens focus and vision, vanilla reduces stress. But the lilacs can depress affect the respiratory system, and the cherry tree - nausea ... But it is generalized, the average data. On all flavors of operating individually. Someone can be annoying fur-tree smell, and someone will be happy to breathe lilacs. In addition, the "catalytic" flavors in the end may give the opposite effect: when they cheer for a long time, the body, he gets tired, which leads to increased sleepiness and blunting of attention. So be careful with the flavorings, if you or your passengers have allergies, you better get along at all without them. In addition to flavoring agents is to focus also on the number used in the operation of auto supplies - such as liquid glass washer. Most are sold at low price "omyvaek, especially for use in cold weather, contain volatile substances and alcohol have a strong odor, which can lead to watery eyes and spinning heads, and, consequently, reduce the driver's attention and reduce safety movement.

Fundamentals of operation of the vehicle on gas

Before leaving the car checked by visual inspection and technical state of the cylinder parts fixing gas equipment, gas pipeline leaks and indications of instrumentation. After the return of the gearbox and check the condition of the gas pipeline leaks of high pressure, close valves cylinders produce gas from the system. In the winter time when filling the cooling system water drain from the cavity of the evaporator. Tightness of the system is checked in operation, ie, filling it with liquefied gas. Small gas leak detected by frosting valves and hoses, or air bubbles that appear after wetting the connections with soapy foam solution. Exhibit significant leakage at the hearing. The first maintenance includes cleaning the gas filter, grease the thread lock nut graphite lubricated, checking gas equipment. Tightness of the gas system checked and non-toxic non-flammable compressed gas (air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide) under pressure. Gas system is sealed when the pressure drop for 15 minutes does not exceed 0,01-0,015 MPa. Checks performed in private spending cylinder valve car and no gas in the system. When TS-1 is measured, and if necessary, regulate the content of carbon monoxide in the exhaust gas, let the engine and check the stability of its work at idle. With TO-2 test mounting LPG equipment, inspect and regulate the gas pressure regulator, gas mixer and an evaporator. Seasonal service includes verification of the safety valve cylinder, purge gas with compressed air. In preparation for winter operation of the gas regulator and gas mixer is removed from the car, unpacked, cleaned, washed, regulate, and if necessary replace the unusable parts.

How to become a racing driver?

Everyone has a dream. This is normal. And if your child wants to follow in the footsteps of Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Loeb and Jean-Louis Schlesser - do not deny him his dream. Starting a racing career in karting advise. Without the experience of playing in it to achieve significant results will be very difficult. Only once to understand - motor sport requires solid financial costs. But without talent is not enough. The easiest way to check whether it is your child - to bring it into sections. Schools for children are open virtually all kartodromah Moscow, there are similar and in the regions. If during the course the coach will say that the boy could get a good judge, then the next step for the future of racing to become serious competition - will have to buy their own cards, technicals, and hire a mechanic. Account for this will have on the tens of thousands of dollars. Not later than 15 years should be transplanted in the formula. " The problem is that in Russia there is practically no lines for them and the appropriate classes, so the only way - to speak in foreign leagues. But keep in mind: one season there costs more than $ 100.000, this should be ready.

Driving School. Manual transmission.

Gear lever controls the right hand driver (on vehicles with left handed drive). The lever can be in neutral or in one of the working positions. The neutral position of the lever provides uncoupling the engine from the chassis. This can be used to stop the car if you can not touch the clutch on the pedal. The scheme of operating positions the gear lever in different brands and models of machines can be uneven. Therefore, leave the car without prior acquaintance with the device, its transmission is unsafe. Learning to drive a car, you should develop the habit of not looking at a gearshift lever, and watch the road. For this we must firmly grasp the scheme of working positions and arm workout in the gear shift on a stationary vehicle or machine. As determined by the need to include some shows? To do this you need to know a destination transmission. First gear is used for vehicle pick-up and his movements in a particularly difficult road conditions (steep slopes, sand, snow, sticky soil). Second gear is designed to accelerate the car, on roads with bumps, overcoming gentle ups and downs with them. Top gear (straight) is designed for driving on good roads. If the car has five gears, then the fourth is intermediate and is open to traffic on such roads, which do not allow direct transfer. Thus, the choice of a transfer depends on road conditions. Transfer switch should be in advance, not waiting until the engine no longer "pull" or vice versa, will develop greater speed because of reduced workload.

The main failure of batteries

When using the batteries following faults occur: oxidation of the findings, the cracks in the mastic and the battery cover, rapid self-discharge, reduced the level of electrolyte, sulfation plates, shorting plates. Oxidation of the conclusions "+" and "-" accelerated when in contact with them, the electrolyte, the absence of grease and non-rowed fixing the wires. Oxidation increases the resistance in the circuit of all consumers, especially the starter, and therefore difficult to start the engine and disrupted electricity consumers. If cracks in the mastic and covers battery electrolyte spills to the surface of caps and causing the closure of the plus and minus battery cable that leads them to self-discharge. Electrolyte and dirt from the surface caps removed rub with a cloth dampened with 10% solution of ammonia or soda ash. Then wipe dry with a lid. Damaged cover and replace the mastic. Accelerated self-discharge rechargeable battery for inaction allowed the loss of capacity not exceeding 1% per day. Causes more rapid self-discharge are circuiting the battery mud or electrolyte; closure plate active mass, scattered across the bottom of the tank, the destruction of cages, hitting the dirt in the electrolyte, the application of non-distilled water and the contaminated sulfuric acid. Signs of accelerated self-discharge: a rapid decrease in capacitance, voltage and electrolyte density in I unserviceable battery. With a large self-discharge the battery disassemble and troubleshoot, or replace with a new battery.

The main fault in the circuits of the generator and voltage regulator

Signs of the major faults of the generator and voltage regulator: ammeter does not register the charge current when the discharged battery, with the discharged battery there is a small charge current, with a charged battery - a large force of the charging current. The ammeter does not register the charge current when the discharged battery with: short or weak belt tension generator drive, a cliff Exalt the generator, open circuit connecting the generator and battery, failure of the generator or voltage regulator. Adjust the belt tension by moving the generator. When breakage or abuse contact in the chain excitation generator is not excited. To test if the generator voltage is measured with a voltmeter, connecting its wires to terminals "+" and "-" generator. Most often, contact failure in the chain excitation occurs in the connectors on the voltage regulator and at the time "W" of the generator. Particular attention is paid to the reliability of mounting lugs wires connecting the generator and voltage regulator, and negative battery cable with pulling the starter relay and the body of the car. Attachment points and the tips of wires if necessary sanded, and then securely fix tips. Serviceability of the circuit connecting the generator and the battery check indicator lamp with the engine off. One wire from the lamp is connected to the clip "+" generator, and the other with the body of the car. The lamp will be lit with an intact chain. Low amperage when the battery is discharged when: slipping belt generator; Looseness or strong oxidation of the tip wires in the circuit connecting the generator, voltage regulator and battery, faulty alternator and voltage regulator.

Faults starter

Signs of the main faults are the following starter: starter does not turn the starter rotates the crankshaft engine with a low frequency, the starter turns but the engine crankshaft is not spinning. Starter will not turn on at considerable discharge the battery, bad contacts in compounds tip wires on the battery cable and terminals tractive relay, starter switches and fault relays, large burning of the contact disc and clamps the ends of the traction relay, oiling the collector, a large brush wear a starter and the other faults. Oxidized lugs wiring and battery cable - sanded and securely attached. Oil and dirt from the reservoir was removed with a clean cloth, lightly dampened with gasoline. Oxidized collector sanded grit sandpaper 80-100. Charred surface of the contact disc and clamps the ends of the traction relay is cleaning with a file and then sandpaper. Brushes worn height less than 7 mm, replace. Defective relay repair or replace. The starter rotates the crankshaft engine with a low frequency in the above faults, except the switch and relays. Starter turns, but the crankshaft does not rotate during motor clutch slippage due to wear of rollers or sticking plunger coupling. When jamming clutch can release the conductors of the armature core in the event of failure off the starter. Replace a faulty clutch. To check the starter close the thick wire terminals tractive relay, with the anchor serviceable starter should turn. Maintenance starter. With TO-2 purified starter from dust and dirt and check his mount to the flywheel, and wires - to the starter.

Driving School. Acceleration and motion in a straight line

Before you move, make sure that it will not create a threat to other vehicles and pedestrians moving behind and miss the traffic. If the movement starts from the roadside or from the edge of the sidewalk, you must look in the rearview mirror, and if the route is clear and you would not want to signal the beginning of the movement - left turn signal light, or pulled toward the left arm or left open the cockpit door. When starting the car with the space you need: - turn off the clutch out by pressing up on the clutch pedal - turn first gear - release lever on the brake (when starting on the horizontal section) - gradually releasing the pedal, gently turn the clutch, increasing the speed shaft of the engine by pressing the accelerator pedal. Concerted action by both pedals ensures smooth pick-up vehicle from the place. The first transmission may start at once, especially if the oil in the gearbox a little frozen. In this case, you should put the gear selector into neutral, turn on the clutch and add a little engine revs, then reducing the speed again, turn off the clutch and turn the first gear. Movement in first gear does not require much power from the engine and thus high speed. To move from first gear to second and does not require a large Acceleration. Therefore, do not increase engine speed to achieve high speeds in first gear, and, after passing a few meters, you can immediately incorporate second gear. Switching gears in all cases shall be made without excessive nervousness, but quite vigorously, so that the car has not lost the inertia of motion.

Driving School. Reversing

Include reverse gear only after a full stop, because otherwise it may damage the gearbox. As a result of the fact that the gear ratio gears reversing large, you can move in reverse at low speed of the motor shaft. Motion at low speed allows the driver to calm maneuvering in reverse. Going backwards, it should be borne in mind that braking of the car without the clutch does not give proper effect. Therefore, the left foot should be at the clutch pedal. The vicious practice of some drivers when reversing put your left foot on the bandwagon, as a rule, leads to a car accident. First, you need to learn to drive the car in reverse in a straight line, avoiding significant deviations from it, then learn the turns left and right, and only then work around obstacles. Prior to the reversing should get out and make sure that the path is free of pedestrians, the dimensions of travel (gates etc.) are sufficient to pass a car on the way there is no road obstacles. Before you start moving, you need to take a provision allowing for a good overview of ways. Acceleration is performed in the same manner as when moving forward swing. When you rotate in reverse to the right are guided by the obstacles are on the right side, and when turning left must take into account the obstacles to the left. Focusing on the obstacles behind the car, we must remember that the steering wheel when reversing the vehicle is turning in the same direction. Outside the front wheel of the car while the curve describes the largest radius, so you need to make sure that it does not hurt for the obstruction, past which has already passed the rear wheel.
