Driving Instructions
Under the following conditions, pay special
attention to the underfloor of the vehicle
chassis to avoid any scratches:
• When travel on roads with poor
conditions.
• When passing road kerbs.
• When travel on steep slopes.
Be extra careful when the vehicle is
fully loaded.
New Vehicle Running-in
Running-in of new vehicle is mainly to
improve the surface quality, friction
and wear condition of the moving parts. This
will also extend the service life of the vehicle
and reduce the power consumption. During
new vehicle running-in period, observe the
following requirements:
• When starting and driving, avoid from
fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
• The vehicle should run on flat roads.
avoid from driving on roads with muds
and sands.
• Avoid idling of the drive motor.
• Avoid accelerating suddenly.
Eco-driving
Driving habits, storage conditions, charging
methods and power battery temperature are
factors that affect vehicle range and power
battery capacity. Good usage and economic
way of driving style can improve the range
of the vehicle.
1. Stable starting and acceleration
Power consumption is high during the
process of starting and accelerating.
Avoid sudden stepping on the
accelerator pedal when starting or
accelerating. Stable starting and
accelerating are helpful to save power.
2. Avoid unnecessary braking
Keep a proper following distance from
the preceding vehicle and avoid
frequent braking; let the vehicle coast to
decelerate and apply brake as
necessary when approaching a red
traffic light. Avoid sudden braking.
3. Keep low wind resistance
Driving with open windows at a high
speed will increase the wind resistance
of the vehicle; therefore will increase of
power consumption. Close the windows
especially when the vehicle speed is
higher than 80 km/h.
4. Maintain correct tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressure regularly. Very
low tyre pressure will increase the
rolling resistance of tyres and result in
increase of the power consumption.
5. Proper operation of air conditioners
Whether for cooling or heating, the
usage of air conditioning will increase
the power consumption. Use the air
conditioning when necessary. Open the
windows for ventilation when driving at
low speed. Use the internal circulation
mode when using air conditioning for
more energy-efficient.
6. Reduce the vehicle load
Clear unnecessary luggage on vehicle
regularly. Each kilogram of additional
load may increase the power
consumption
7. Plan the driving route properly
