5. Driving guide
7. In cold winter (especially in northern
China), avoid starting the engine
frequently and shutting down the engine
immediately after a short-time start. If
the engine is often in an alternating heat
& cold cycle, the condensed water is
likely to form in the engine. Condensed
water adhering to the engine oil (where
applicable) may give an illustration of
water-in-oil emulsion. When the engine
has been restarted and warmed up, this
illusion will be shattered; in addition,
please change the oil regularly as
required by the Warranty Manual.

- Before driving, make sure that the parking
brake is completely released and the
- Maintain sufficient tire pressure as
wear out quickly and waste fuel.
- Ensure the wheel alignment is accurate.
Otherwise tires will wear out quickly, and
the engine load will increase, causing fuel
wasted.
- Do not overload the vehicle. Unload
unnecessary items from the vehicle as
excessive load increases the engine load
and wastes fuel.
- Accelerate the vehicle slowly and
smoothly to avoid rapid acceleration.
- Observe traffic lights or maintain a safe
distance with other vehicles while driving
to avoid unnecessary stop or emergency
braking so as to save fuel and reduce
wear on the brake system.
- Do not step on the brake pedal when the
vehicle is running, for fear of premature
wear and overheating of brake pads and
waste of fuel.
- When driving, select good road surface.
If driving on uneven roads, control
the vehicle speed to avoid collision or
scratches.
- If the chassis is stained with objects such
as excessive dirt, clean them in time to
not only reduce the vehicle’s weight but
also prevent corrosion.
- Perform regular maintenance on the
vehicle to maintain its optimal working
condition. Dirty air filter, spark plugs,
oil, and grease will reduce the engine
performance and waste fuel.
- Drive slowly for a few minutes after
starting the engine at low temperature,
and ensure the engine is warmed up
before acceleration.
- Do not open windows when driving at high
speed.
- In case of parking for a long time, please
shut down the engine to avoid wasting
fuel due to long time idling of engine.
