Start-up
Preparatory work before
start-up
The start-up of engine is controlled by
the electric control system of the
engine.
To start up the electronic injection
engine, do not step on the gas pedal
before and during starting. You step on
the gas pedal only when it is a poor
start. For the details about the start of a
vehicle, see the Section ―Start-up of
engine‖ of this chapter.
Safety considerations
The idling speed of an engine is
controlled by the electric control
system. The idling speed is high when
the engine starts, which is
advantageous to increase the
temperature of the engine. After the
temperature of the engine rise, the
idling speed shall decrease
automatically. If the idling speed fails
to decrease automatically, you shall get
to the Chery Authorized Service
Station to make your vehicle repaired.
Do not make the engine operate at the
speed, which is more than the specific
idling speed, for above 10 minutes.
Before the vehicle starts:
1. Confirm that all passengers fasten
their safety belt. For the safety
belt and its instruction, see the
Chapter ―Seat and Safety
Protection‖
2. Confirm that the front headlamp
and other electrical accessories
power off.
3. Confirm that the handbrake is
pulled up.
4. Confirm that the selector lever is
in NEUTRAL position.
The long-time high-speed idling
of an engine may create
over-high temperature of the
engine and exhaust system, which has
the risk of firing and other damages.
Therefore, DO NOT make your vehicle
stop, travel at idle speed or run on the
ground where there are hay or other dry
coverings. The exhaust system may
make the temperature of the engine
compartment and exhaust pipe rise up,
which it may cause a fire.
DO NOT start up your vehicle
on the airproof garage or other
enclosed locations. The exhaust
gas from a vehicle is noxious. The door
of garage must be opened before the
engine starts. For the details, see the
section ―Caution against the exhaust
fume from a vehicle‖ in this chapter.
