●In case of a long-distance driving down
on a steep hill, please decelerate the
vehicle and shift to a low-speed gear.
Remember that too many times of stepping
on the brake will cause over-heating and
result in abnormal working of the brake.
●Be careful in case of accelerating, shifting
to a high-speed gear or l ow-speed gear or
braking on a slippery r oad surface. An abrupt
acceleration or bra king may cause a skid or
spin.
●Do not continue to drive the vehicle
normally when the brake is damp. In
case of a damp brake, a relatively
long brake distance is needed and the
vehicle may be pulled to one side when
braking. Likewise, the parking brake
also can not stop the vehicle urgently.
Make sure that the coolant has the
right function of freeze protection.
Only coolant designated by Lifan can
be used. Fill the coolant with proper
type according to the ambient
temperature into the cooling system.
An improper coolant will damage the
cooling system.
Note
No use of clean water
A cold weather will decrease the charge
capacity of the battery. Therefore, the
battery should keep a sufficient charge
capacity to be helpful for starting in winter.
The way of visual inspection of the battery
is described in Section 7-3. And the
inspection of charge level can be carried
out at the service station. Lifan

Make sure that the oil viscosity
is suitable for driving in winter
Refer to Section 7-2 for recommended
oil viscosity. In winter, use of summer
oil will cause difficulty in starting the
engine. In case of uncertainty about the

different driving conditions, such as
tire chain, window scraper, a bag
of sand or salt, signal flash device,
small shovel and connecting cables.
It is simple and easy to save fuel. It is
also helpful for extending the service
life of a vehicle. The following are tips
for saving fuel and repair expense:
●Maintain a correct tire pressure: An
insufficient tire pressure will cause
wear to the tire and waste fuel. Refer
to Section 7 - 2 for instruction.
●No unnecessary loads on the vehicle:
Excessive weight will increase the load of
the engine and cause an increase of oil
consumption.
●Avoid warm-up idling for a long time:
Start driving the vehicle once the engine
operates stably, but it must be stable.
Be careful, it will take a longer time for
the warm-up of the engine in winter.
●Slow and stable acceleration: Avoid
rapid starting. You should drive at a
high-speed gear as quickly as possible.
●Avoid engine idling for a long time:
In case of parking to wait for someone
for a long time in a place with no busy
●The brake will become damp in case of
cleaning or passing by water. Check if
the brake is normal under a safe
condition. If the brake is abnormal due
to the dampness, you can lightly step on
the brake pedal while driving carefully
under a condition of using the parking
brake. If it still can not work normally,
please stop the vehicle and contact the
service station for assistance. Lifan
