We initiate INFO MANEJO's 2008 edition. We are glad to send the first newsletter's issue, where you can learn the driving concept understood as an intelligent activity and how the clutch must be maintained.

We also invite you to visit our website, where you will findINFO MANEJO's previous editions.

   Driving Definition
An automobile works when its commands are operated by a series of sequential and coordinated movements. However, due to the fact that they are produced by the person who drives, interacting in an environment with changing situations, these complex actions represent significant answers to the great stimuli variety that the driver perceives. Tactical programs can be elaborated in advance.

The correct answers to those stimuli can be achieved after a defined process where learning, adaptation and training necessarily intervene.

Therefore, driving an automobile can be defined like this:

A complex psychomotor activity subordinated to the sensitive experience, knowledge and different kinds of intelligence in its origins, influenced by emotions, in the need to adapt personal performance to the technical, environmental, social and ethical requirements.

    Clutch maintenance
Replacing the clutch fluid

In hydraulic clutch vehicles, the fluid must be replaced, at least, every 50.000km in light vehicles and every 100.000km in heavy vehicles.

The factors that determine this change are:

+ Rubber particles contaminate the system elements and block the acting piston free movement.

+ By condensation. The clutch liquid is contaminated by water which under pressure quickly oxidizes the cylinders pump and the acting cylinder.


+ Thanks to very frequent temperature changes, the hydraulic liquid condition is lost.

In case the clutch fluid is added or replaced, it's important to use the one the manufacturer recommends. Even though all have similar chemical components, their density vary, thus, if we use a denser fluid it will last longer to uncouple, slipping briefly, which will reduce the mechanism's service life.
