possibly leading to accidents as a result.
The brake emits a warning sound
The disc brake will emit a warning sound
when the brake pad wears and needs to
be replaced.
If you hear a seismic noise while braking,
do not continue driving. Otherwise it will
severely wear the brake disk, damage the
brake parts and affect the braking efficien-
cy or even lead to an accident.
Flat tire
It is forbidden to continue to drive the vehi-
cle under the flat tire condition. Driving
with one or more flat tires is extremely
dangerous since it heightens the probabili-
ty of accidents. In addition, tires, wheels,
suspension and vehicle body will be dam-
aged. At this moment, please replace the
tire immediately.
When any of the following situations occur,
check if vehicle tires are punctured or
have gone flat.
〉
When the steering wheel vibrates.
〉
When the vehicle vibrates abnormally.
〉
When the vehicle is leaning at an abnor-
mal angle.
If a tire is flat or broken during driving, hold
the steering wheel firmly and gently step
on the brake pedal to slow down. Emer-
gency braking or sudden steering may
lead the vehicle to go out of control.
The vehicle's undercarriage, tires,
and wheels suffer a strong im-
pact
When the vehicle’s undercarriage, tires,
and wheels suffer a strong impact, stop
the vehicle immediately in a safe spot and
inspect the vehicle. Check that there is no
leaking of brake fluid or fuel, and that sus-
pension parts, tires, wheels, drive shaft
components, etc., are not deformed or
damaged. If you discover signs of leakage
or damage, do not continue to drive the
vehicle. Failure to adhere to the advice
may lead to accidents.
When going downhill
Vehicle shutdown or neutral coasting is
prohibited
The braking force assist device and power
steering system will not work if the vehicle
is shut down while driving downslope. In
this scenario, braking efficiency will be
compromised and you feel the steering
wheel heavy, making the occurrence of ac-
cidents more likely.
Driving on uneven road surfaces
When stopping on a curb or on a road sur-
face with a height difference, make sure
that the tire is not crushed and deformed
by the curb or other obstacles.
When the vehicle must pass a curb, a de-
celeration zone or a similar obstacle, you
should try to slow down along the vertical
angle of the obstacle. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the tire, especially to
