Driving essentials in winter
Be sure to fully warm up the engine. After starting the
engine, pre-heat it for a while so that the engine oil
fully lubricates the various cylinders, and then drive
the vehicle slowly. Drive off at low speed. This will
give a sufficient time for the lubrication oil of the
transmission, the transfer case and the rear axle to
lubricate the various lubrication positions.
Check the Condition of the Battery and Power
Cables
Check the battery, including its joints an electric wire.
Extremely cold weather will affect the battery. This
is because more energy is needed to start and drive
vehicle and the battery capacity will fall. Before
driving the vehicle, check whether the engine speed
is normal. Check whether the headlights are as bright
as usual. If necessary, charge or replace the battery.
In particularly cold weather, very low-capacity
battery may freeze, causing it is unable to start the
vehicle normally.
Make sure the viscosity of the engine oil suits
driving in cold weather
In winter, a lot of summer-used engine oil remaining
inside the engine may make the vehicle difficult to
start. If you are unsure which engine oil to use,
contact your authorized dealership of BAIC ORV for
assistance.
Check Engine Coolant
Be sure to use a coolant that is recognized by the
Company.
If the engine coolant is found to be insufficient, please
replenish the coolant in time.
If the coolant of intercooling system is insufficient,
please replenish the coolant in time.
Avoid the freezing of door locks
Spray some de-icer or glycerol into the door lock
holes to prevent them from being frozen.

Prevent snow or ice from accumulating in fender.
When snow or ice accumulates in the fender, it will
make steering difficult. When driving in cold
weather, be sure to frequently stop the car and check
whether snow or ice has accumulated in fender.
Depending on the driving destination, BAIC ORV
recommends carrying some necessary emergency
supplies.
Items that may need to be put in the car include:tire
anti-skid chains, vehicle window scrapers, sandbags
or salt bags, signal flash devices, small shovels,
jumper cables, etc.
