Application and Driving
■ Correctly select parking positions.
 Avoid stopping the vehicle at a place with sun exposure as far as
possible.
■ Always keep a portable fire extinguisher in the vehicle and master its
application method.
 To ensure vehicle safety, a fire extinguisher should be provided in the
vehicle and be checked and replaced at regular intervals. In addition,
the application method of the fire extinguisher should be mastered to
avoid helplessness and dismay in the case of any accident.
■ Disconnect the negative pole wire of start Fe battery during repair and
maintenance of the vehicle.
■ Should the vehicle catch fire, calmly take effective measures to deal with the
fire to minimize losses:
 Fires generally have precursors such as abnormal sound body, odor,
etc. Once abnormal situation is found, immediately stop the vehicle in
a lee and take out the on-board fire extinguisher to put out the fire.
 Call 119 for firefighting service in time, and contact your insurer at the
same time for on-site handling.
 Find the origin of fire. If the front compartment emits smoke, do not
open the front compartment hatch immediately (this is because
opening the compartment hatch will let a large amount of air enter the
front compartment, intensifying combustion and fire spreading. As the
front compartment has very limited combustible materials, keeping the
front compartment hatch closed can control slow combustion and is
conducive to putting out fire). In this case, you may use an on-board
fire extinguisher and aim the extinguisher to the origin of fire via the
gap of the front compartment hatch and discharge the extinguisher to
fight fire or ask passing vehicles for help. If you can borrow several fire
extinguishers and the flame is not visible from outside, you can open
the front compartment hatch and continue firefighting.
 After a fire brigade puts out fire, request the fire brigade to issue an
action certificate and a document indicating the cause of fire.
 After an accident occurs, contact your insurer to conduct afterwards
treatment.
Warm tip
 It is recommended that commercial insurances (such as spontaneous
combustion loss insurance and robbery and theft insurance) be maintained to
prevent loss due to any accident of the vehicle.
