5. If the fuel 󽗉ller cap has been left open
for a long time and you need to refuel,
close the fuel 󽗉ller cap, then press the
fuel 󽗉ller button and follow the step ②
to refuel.
REMINDER
Since the fuel is 󽗊ammable and
combustible, pay attention to the
following matters during refueling:
●
Turn o󽗈 the engine and keep it
away from heat, sparks and open
󽗊ames.
●
It is recommended to 󽗉ll fuel
outdoors.
●
Immediately wipe up spilled fuel.
●
Do not smoke during fuel 󽗉lling,
so as to prevent sparks or open
󽗊ames, which are easy to cause
combustion.
●
Do not remove the fuel 󽗉ller cap
immediately after it is opened. In
hot weather, if the fuel tank cap
is suddenly removed, personal
injury may be caused by the
ejection of fuel under pressure
from the 󽗉ller.
●
Stop 󽗉lling after the 󽗉ller nozzle
is automatically cut o󽗈. Do not
over󽗉ll the fuel tank, so as
to leave some space for fuel
expansion due to the temperature
change.
REMINDER
●
Check whether the fuel 󽗉ller cap
is tightened and whether the fuel
󽗉ller hatch is closed in time after
refueling.
Saving Fuel and Extending
Vehicle Service Life
●
Following easy operations should be
taken for extending the service life of
the vehicle and saving fuel and repair
costs: The followings are some tips for
saving fuel and repair costs:
●
Constant speeds save fuel. Sudden
acceleration, sharp turning, and
emergency braking consume more
fuel.
●
Speeds should be kept constant
according to tra󽗋c conditions. Each
deceleration or acceleration of the
vehicle consumes additional fuel.
●
Use cruise control under proper
driving conditions.
●
The use of the A/C brings additional
load to the engine, resulting in large
fuel consumption. Turn o󽗈 the A/C
as far as possible. In nice weather, it
is recommended to use the fresh air
mode for ventilation.
●
Make sure tyre pressure is correct.
Insu󽗋cient tyre pressure causes tyre
wear and fuel waste.
●
Do not load unnecessary weight
on the vehicle. Excessive weight
brings additional load to the engine,
resulting in large fuel consumption.
●
When the engine is in a cold state,
do not run at a high speed or drive
with the acceleration pedal pressed
to a deep position immediately after
