■ At C or approaching C (low temperature range)


When beginning to warm up, the engine may stay in this range for
a short time. The engine should not be operated at a high speed in
this temperature range. In addition, the engine load should not be
excessive.
Please contact a Chery authorized service station as soon as
possible for inspection and repair if the needle remains in this
2
range for a long time.
■ Between C and H (normal temperature range)

INSTRUMENT PANEL
The needle lies in this range while driving normally. The needle
may depart off this range when the outside temperature is too high
or the engine is heavy loaded. The vehicle can be driven as long
as the high coolant temperature warning light does not turn on.
■ At H or approaching H (overheating range)
When the needle reaches red range, or the high coolant
temperature warning light comes on, it indicates that engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle immediately and turn off the engine
(ignition) switch after idling for several minutes. After the engine
cools down, identify the cause. If causes can not be found, please
contact a Chery authorized service station as soon as possible.

WARNING

Do not open the coolant reservoir cap if the engine overheats. You can restart

Seat Belt Usage and Precautions for Children

Seat belts on your vehicle are principally designed for persons of


adult size. Use a child restraint system (refer to "Child Restraint
System" in this section) appropriate for child until the child becomes
large enough to properly wear vehicle's seat belt. When the child 3
becomes large enough to properly wear vehicle's seat belt, follow

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
instructions regarding seat belt usage.
If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in
the rear seat and must be restrained using vehicle's seat belt.
Do not allow any children to
stand up or kneel on front seats,
rear seats. An unrestrained child
could suffer serious injury during
emergency braking or a collision.
Also, do not let a child sit on an
adult's knees. Holding a child in
OMT15-3570
arms cannot provide sufficient
restraint.

Seat Belt Usage and Precautions for Pregnant Women

Obtain medical advice and wear


seat belt in proper way. Women
who are pregnant should
position the lap belt as low as
possible over hips in the same
manner as other passengers.

OMT15-3450

not operated properly, immediately contact the Chery authorized service
station.
● Perform inspection carefully and replace the belts as necessary, if your
vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious
damage.
● Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the seat
belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by the Chery authorized
service station.
● Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the belt becomes twisted
around a child's neck, it could be impossible to pull the belt out, leading to
chocking or other serious injuries that could result in death. If this occurs and
the buckles cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used to cut the belt.

death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the
airbag.
● Front passenger airbag deploys with considerable force, and can
cause death or serious injury especially if the front passenger is
very close to the airbag. The front passenger seat should be posi-
tioned as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback
adjusted, so the front passenger can sit upright.

127
Section 3. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

● Front side airbag (if equipped) and curtain shield airbag (if

Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

WARNING

To avoid an unexpected move, do not use shift lever as a substitute for parking
brake when parking or leaving your vehicle. You should pull up parking brake
lever firmly.

To release parking brake, pull up parking brake lever slightly, then


push release button at top of the knob to release parking brake
lever completely. Parking brake indicator light on the instrument
cluster will go off at the same time.

CAUTION

Make sure that parking brake lever is released completely before driving.
Failure to do so may increase rear brake wear.

Brake

Brake system is "X" type dual


circuit brake system. It is a
hydraulic system which has two
independent subsystems. If one
of the subsystems fails, the other
can still achieve brake function.
However, brake pedal should be
OMT15-4120 depressed more firmly than
usual and braking distance will
become longer. Brake system
warning light will also come on.

WARNING

Do not drive vehicle with only one brake system operating. Please contact a
Chery authorized service station for inspection and repair immediately.

174
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

Vacuum Booster

Brake booster is controlled by engine vacuum and it works only when


engine is running. Therefore, do not turn engine off to coast the
vehicle while driving downhill.

WARNING

Do not turn engine off to coast the vehicle while driving downhill. For better
braking efficiency, shift to the lower gear before driving downhill.

If vehicle is being towed or malfunctioning, vacuum booster will not


work. It is necessary to depress brake pedal harder to compensate
for the booster assist effect. 4

Brake Fluid

WARNING

● Brake fluid has strong hygroscopy. Do not leave the brake fluid reservoir cap
open for a long time.
● Brake fluid is corrosive, never directly touch it with your hands. If brake fluid
splashes on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean
water immediately. If you still experience discomfort, get emergency medical
attention immediately.

Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

Operation Precautions

● It is normal that brake system makes a noise sometimes. However,


if it make noises that sound like metal grinding or screeches for a
long time, it indicates that brake lining may be seriously worn.
Please contact a Chery authorized service station for replacement.
● If there is continuous shudder or vibration being transferred to
steering wheel during braking, please contact a Chery authorized
service station for inspection and repair immediately.
● New brake lining requires a break-in period to achieve optimum
braking effect. Braking effect may decrease slightly in the first 200
km. In this case, increase depressing force properly on the brake
pedal to compensate for the braking effect. 4
● Brake lining wear greatly depends on operating conditions and

STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE


driving habits of operator. For vehicles mainly used for city traffic,
frequent starting off and stopping will make working condition of
brake lining worsen. Therefore, it is necessary to send your vehicle
to a Chery authorized service station to check thickness of brake
lining or replace it with a new one according to the specified
maintenance mileage.
● When driving downhill, shift to a low gear to make full use of the
engine braking effect and avoid continuous use of the bakes.
Failure to do so may cause brakes to overheat and lengthen the
braking distance, and brakes may even temporarily lose their
effectiveness in a serious case.
● A damp brake may cause abnormal speed deceleration or drifting
during braking. Depress brake pedal slightly to test the effects on
brakes. After driving through deep water, it is necessary to keep a
safe vehicle speed and depress brake pedal slightly until braking
function is restored.

177
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

Loss of Brake Effectiveness

If you lose control of brakes during driving, you can stop vehicle using
parking brake, but stopping distance will be longer than that during
normal braking.

WARNING

During normal driving, applying parking brake suddenly will cause loss control
of vehicle instantaneously. If it is necessary to stop vehicle using the parking
brake, please apply force slowly to prevent drifting due to rear wheel lock. You
should keep fully alert during driving.

178
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE
4-7. Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

ABS is an active safety system. Its main function is to maintain


vehicle maneuverability and driving stability using ground traction at
maximum. However, ABS cannot prevent vehicle slippage absolutely
when it exceeds physical limits or driving on slippery road at high
speed.
ABS is integrated with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
system, making the system performance more effective.

ABS operates only when wheels


are going to lock during sudden
braking, but not operate during
normal braking. If brake pedal 4
pulsates with noise during

STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE


braking, it indicates that the
system is operating, which is
OMT15-4150 normal. Do not release brake
pedal at this moment.

Operation Precautions

ABS will make noises in following conditions:


1. A short "buzz" sound occurs when system performs self-check
after vehicle is powered on or engine is started.
2. Operation sound of motor, solenoid valve and return pump in
hydraulic unit.
3. Sound caused by brake pedal rebound.
4. Operation sound of solenoid valve when EBD is involved in
braking.
5. Impacting sound between suspension and vehicle body due to
emergency braking.

179
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

WARNING

● Do not overestimate the functions of anti-lock brake system. Although anti-


lock brake system assists in providing vehicle control, it is necessary to drive
carefully and maintain a moderate speed and safe distance from the vehicle
ahead, because there are limits to the vehicle stability and steering
performance even if anti-lock brake system operates.
● If tire grip performance exceeds its permissible capability, or if wheel spin
occurs during driving at high speed in rain, the anti-lock brake system will
not provide vehicle control.

CAUTION

■ Tire size, specification and tread pattern wear have a significant impact
on the normal ABS performance, please ensure that the replaced tire
has the same size, load capacity and structure with the original tire. It
is recommended to replace tires with the original type at a Chery
authorized service station.
■ ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle's stopping distance.
Always maintain a safe distance from vehicle in front of you in
following situations:
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads;
● When driving with tire chains;
● When driving on rough roads;
● When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces.

you make an emergency braking. OMT15-4160

WARNING

● Although ABS can ensure the best braking efficiency, stopping distance will
be greatly different based on the road conditions.
● ABS will not shorten the stopping distance under any circumstances, such
as when equipped with tire chain, or on sand or snow covered road.
Compared with vehicle without ABS, your vehicle may require a longer
stopping distance.
● Also, ABS cannot eliminate risks arising from driving too near to the vehicle
ahead, driving through water, turning quickly or driving on poor road
surfaces, and cannot avoid accidents caused by inattentive or inappropriate
driving.
● Always drive carefully and make sure to decelerate during turning.

181
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

If ABS malfunctions, driver can still carry out conventional braking,
but brake force applied should be reduced as much as possible to
prevent wheel from locking. When warning light comes on, please
drive carefully and contact a Chery authorized service station
immediately for inspection and repair to avoid more malfunctions, or it
may cause accident.

WARNING

If ABS warning light and brake system warning light remain on simultaneously,
please immediately stop vehicle at a safe area and turn on the hazard lights,
then contact a Chery authorized service station to have the brake system
inspected and repaired as soon as possible.

182
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE
4-8. Electronic Stability Program (ESP)

ESP enhances directional control and stability control of the vehicle


under various driving conditions. ESP corrects under-steering or
over-steering of vehicle by applying brake to the appropriate wheels.
Engine power may also be reduced to help vehicle to maintain in the
desired path.
ESP uses sensors in vehicle to determine path that driver intends to
steer and compares it with the actual path of vehicle. If actual path
does not match the intended path, ESP will apply brake to the
appropriate wheels to assist in counteracting the condition of over-
steering or under-steering.
ESP system has ABS, HBA, TCS and HHC functions.

Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

Hill Hold Control System (HHC)

Hill Hold Control System (HHC) functions is that HCC will determine if
vehicle is driving on a slope using longitudinal acceleration sensor
after vehicle is stationary, and HHC will enter operating status
automatically when vehicle starts off forward (driving or reversing on
uphill). During starting off, after brake pedal is released by driver,
system will maintain the previous braking pressure for 1 to 2 seconds
to keep vehicle in a stationary condition, then braking pressure
decreases gradually as drive torque increases, thus avoiding rolling
backward during starting off on slope.

Hydraulic Brake Assist System (HBA)

system function. Usually, driver will apply brake in an emergency, but
the maximum braking force will not be applied, so braking distance
may become longer. In this case, brake assist system will operate:
HBA increases braking pressure to the maximum quickly when brake
pedal is depressed quickly by driver in an emergency without
sufficient depressing force applied, so as to shorten the braking
distance quickly and effectively by anti-lock brake system.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Traction Control System (TCS) is a skid control system that is used to


determine if drive wheels slip according to drive wheel speed and
driven wheel speed, and then suppress the drive speed when drive
speed is higher than the driven speed.

Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE
4-9. Hydraulic Power Steering System

Hydraulic power steering system makes vehicle steering operate


much lighter and easier.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to power steering system, do not keep steering wheel at limit
position for more than 5 seconds when engine is running.

Power Steering Fluid

Normal power steering fluid level


should be between "MIN" and
"MAX" lines. When power
steering fluid level is lower than
the "MIN" line, please add power
steering fluid immediately to a
proper level, and contact a Chery
OMT15-9903 authorized service station for
inspection and repair in time.

CAUTION

● If too much steering force is applied after engine is started, power steering
system may be malfunctioning. Please contact a Chery authorized service
station for inspection and repair in time.
● When engine is turned off, vehicle will lose steering assist. At this time, you
still can turn the steering wheel, however, it will require more effort.

Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

Exhaust Gas

WARNING

● Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust gas. It contains carbon monoxide (CO),
which is harmful, colorless and odorless, and can cause unconsciousness or
even death after inhaling.
● Make sure the exhaust system has no leakage holes or loose connections.
The exhaust system should be checked usually. If a change in exhaust gas
sound is found, please have the system checked immediately.
● Do not run the engine in a garage or an enclosed area except when driving
the vehicle in or out the garge. The exhaust gas cannot diffuse out, which
may cause serious injury.
● Do not stay in a parked vehicle for a long time with the engine running. If it is
unavoidable, the vehicle should be parked in a spacious area and adjust the
heating or cooling system to force the outside air into the vehicle.
● Keep the back door closed while driving. An open or unclosed back door
may cause exhaust gas to enter into the vehicle.
● To ensure proper operation of your vehicle's ventilation system, keep the
intake grille free of snow, leaves, or other obstructions.
● If you smell exhaust fumes in the vehicle, open the windows to make a mass
of fresh air come in and check the vehicle conditions simultaneously.

Checking Exhaust System

The exhaust system should be checked in following situations:


1. When you smell the exhaust fumes.
2. When you notice a change in the sound of exhaust system.
3. When exhaust system is damaged due to vehicle collision.
4. When lifting the vehicle for inspection and repair.

Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE
4-16.Off-road Driving Precautions

WARNING

Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of serious


personal injury or damage to your vehicle:
● Be careful when driving off the road. Do not drive in dangerous areas.
● Do not grip the steering wheel spokes when driving off the road. A bad bump
could jerk the steering wheel and injure your hands. Keep both hands on the
outer ring.
● Always check your brakes for effectiveness immediately after driving in
shallow water, snow, or on road covered with sand, mud.
● After driving on the road surface covered with tall grass, mud, gravel, sand,
rivers, etc., check if there is grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, sand, etc.
adhering to or trapped on the underbody. Clear off any above matters from
the underbody. If driving vehicle with those matters trapped on or adhering to 4
the underbody, a breakdown or fire could occur.

STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE


● The driver and all the passengers should fasten their seat belts whenever
the vehicle is moving.
● When driving off the road or on the rugged terrain, high speed driving,
jumping, sharp turning and striking objects, etc. are forbidden. Failure to do
so may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover, resulting in death or severe
personnel injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle's
suspension and chassis.

217
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE
4-17.Driving in the Rain

When Driving on Slippery Road Surfaces

Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced,


the windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will
be slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a layer of water between the tires and
the road surface, preventing the steering and brakes from
operating properly.

CAUTION

● Sudden braking, acceleration and steering on a slippery surface may cause


tire slippage and reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in
accidents.
● Sudden changes in engine speed, such as sudden engine braking, may
cause vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.
● After driving through a puddle, lightly depress brake pedal to make sure
brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake linings may prevent brakes from
functioning properly. If brake lining on one side is wet and not functioning
properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in an accident.

218
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

Driving Through Water

The vehicle could be seriously


damaged when driving on a
road that has flooded after
heavy rain. If driving through
water is unavoidable, check
the depth of water and drive
slowly and carefully.
OMT15-4350

1. When you are driving through water, make sure that the engine
runs properly and that the steering and braking system work
normally. When driving smoothly through water, you should switch 4
to low gear and avoid a sudden depression of the accelerator

STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE


pedal or a rush driving. Doing so may prevent water from splashing
into the engine.
2. Depressing and holding the accelerator pedal while driving, make
sure the vehicle has adequate and stable power. You should drive
through without half-way stopping, gear shifting or sharp turning.
3. If the vehicle stalls in water, never restart it immediately to prevent
further damage to the engine. The vehicle should be towed to a
safe place where the water is shallow to find out the cause.

219
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

CAUTION

● Never drive through water that is deeper than the bottom of wheel rim.
● Water intrusion into the engine may cause engine stall or serious internal
damage.
● Water can wash the grease from the wheel bearing, causing rusting and
premature abrasion.
● Driving through water may cause damage to vehicle's drive train
components. Always visually inspect your vehicle's fluids (e.g. engine oil,
transmission oil, etc.) for signs of leakage after driving through water. Do not
continue to operate vehicle if any fluid leaks, as this may result in further
damage.
● Vehicle traction and braking performance will decrease while driving through
water. The braking distance will increase. Sand and mud that has
accumulated around the brake discs may affect the braking efficiency and
may damage the brake system components. After driving through water,
slightly depress the brake pedal for several times to dry the brakes off.

220
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE
4-18.Winter Driving

Winter Driving Tips

Coolant. Make sure that coolant has real anti-freezing function. Only
use coolant recommended by Chery. Please refer to "Checking Coolant
Level" in section 8 for details about coolant type selection.

CAUTION

Do not use water as a substitute for coolant.

Battery and cables. Low temperature will decrease power of any


battery. Sufficient power should be stored in battery for starting in
winter.
Oil. In winter, if a large amount of summer oil remains in engine, it 4
may be difficult to start. Please contact Chery authorized service

STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE


station, if you cannot confirm which kind of oil should be used.
Door locks. Avoid door locks being frozen. Deicing agent or
glycerine should be sprayed into door lock holes.
Washer fluid. Use washer fluid containing antifreeze. This product is
available at Chery authorized service stations and most vehicle
component distributors. The mixture ratio of washer fluid and water
should follow manufacturer's instruction.

CAUTION

Do not use engine coolant or other alternatives, otherwise vehicle paint will be
damaged.

221
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

Brakes. Do not use parking brake if it could be frozen, otherwise


parking brake will be frozen by snow or water, resulting in parking
brake difficult to be released. When parking, move shift lever to P
gear (for CVT and DCT models), or R gear or 1st gear (for MT model)
and put a vehicle stopper in front of, or behind wheels to prevent
vehicle from moving.
Mudguards. Avoid ice and snow accumulation under mudguards.
Failure to do so may cause difficult steering. When driving in cold
weather, you should often stop vehicle to check for ice and snow
accumulation under mudguards. It is recommended that you should
take some necessary emergency items with you depending on
different driving destinations. Items that need to be put in vehicle: tire
chains, window snow scraper, sand or salt bag, signal flasher, shovel,
jumper cable, etc.

Driving on Road Covered with Ice and Snow

Rapid acceleration on slippery


road surfaces, such as snow or
ice covered roads, may cause the
rear wheels slipping to right or
left. Therefore, please drive at low
speed and operate carefully.

OMT15-4390

It is possible to build up a layer of water film between tire and road


surface when driving on wet or muddy roads. This may prevent the
steering and braking from operating properly. To reduce the torque
and avoid slipping, you can use 2nd gear when starting off on road
surface covered with ice and snow. It is recommended that you
enable ESP function on this occasion.

222
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

Tire Chains

Purchase a set of tire chains that match size of the vehicle tires. Pay
attention to following precautions when installing and removing
chains:
1. Follow local regulations when using tire chains.
2. Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
3. Install tire chains by following the instructions provided with the tire
chains.

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents. Failure to do


so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause 4
death or serious injury.

STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE


● Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on location and
type of road. Always check local regulations before installing tire chains.
● Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being
used.
● Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
● Avoid sudden steering and sudden braking that may affect control ability of
vehicle with tire chains installed.
● Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle control
is maintained.

223
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE
4-19.How to Save Fuel and Extend Life of Vehicle

Saving fuel is largely determined by vehicle conditions and driving


habit. Do not overuse the vehicle, which also helps to extend
vehicle's life.

The followings are some specific tips for fuel saving:


1. Make sure to maintain proper tire inflation pressure. Insufficient tire
inflation pressure will lead to tire wear and fuel waste. (Please refer
to MAINTENANCE - Do-it-yourself maintenance - Checking Tire
Inflation Pressure).
2. The vehicle should not be loaded with unnecessary weight. Heavy
load increases engine load, resulting in high fuel consumption.
3. Avoid warm-up idling for a long time. The vehicle can be driven
once the engine runs smoothly. Note that driving should be steady.
Please remember that the warm-up time in cold winter will be
longer than other seasons.
4. Accelerate slowly and smoothly, avoiding sudden starting.
5. Avoid engine idling for a long time. If you need to park vehicle and
wait for a long time, you should turn off the engine and turn it on
again later.
6. Avoid engine out of gear or overspeed. Select proper gears
according to driving road conditions.
7. Avoid continuous acceleration and deceleration. Stop-and-go
driving will waste the fuel.
8. Avoid unnecessary stopping and braking. You should keep a stable
speed. Driving following the traffic lights can minimize parking
times, or take full advantage of road without traffic lights to drive
vehicle. Keep proper driving distance with other vehicles, to avoid
sudden braking. It will also reduce brake wear.
9. Avoid areas with heavy traffic or traffic jams as much as you can.
10. Do not hold your foot on clutch or brake pedal. This will cause
premature wear, overheating and high fuel consumption.

224
Section 4. STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE

11. Keep a proper vehicle speed on the highway. The faster vehicle
speed increases, the higher fuel consumption is. Decreasing
vehicle speed will save fuel.
12. Keep the proper front wheel alignment. Avoid collision with road
curbs and reduce your vehicle speed when driving on rough road
surfaces. Improper front wheel alignment will not only quicken tire
wear, but also increase engine load.
13. Avoid vehicle chassis contacting with mud, etc. This will not only
reduce vehicle weight, but also prevent corrosion.
14. Adjust vehicle and keep it in optimal working condition. Dirty air
filter, improper valve clearance, dirty spark plugs, dirty oil and
grease, brakes without adjusted properly, etc. can reduce engine
performance and waste fuel. You must perform maintenance 4
periodically if you want to extend your vehicle's life and reduce

STARTING AND DRIVING VEHICLE


your driving costs. Your vehicle needs to be serviced more
frequently if always driving under severe conditions.

CAUTION

Never turn off engine when driving downhill. The power steering and brake
booster will not operate when engine is not running.

Precautions When Using Air Conditioning System

To extend the life span of the air conditioning system, when using the
A/C cooling function, please note the following:
● For the vehicle that parking for a long time in hot weather, please
do not turn on the air conditioning immediately after the engine is
started. You should open the windows first to let the hot air out,
wait until the inside temperature cools down, then close the
windows and turn on the air conditioning.
● Do not use the air conditioning for a long time when driving at low
speed.
● Turn off the air conditioning switch 2 to 3 minutes before parking
the vehicle to allow the blower to continue operating. As the
outside air temperature is very high, it is best to use the outside air
mode to eliminate temperature difference between A/C lines and
surroundings, keeping a comparatively dry air conditioning system 5
and preventing the accumulation of higher amounts of bacteria and

nearest service station and inflate tire to the proper pressure. Do
not forget to reinstall tire valve cap, otherwise, dirt and moisture
could get into valve core and possibly cause air leakage. If cap is
missing, replace it with a new one as soon as possible.

WARNING

● When a tire other than the full-size spare tire is used, please drive by follow-
ing the limit speed.
● The tire other than full-size spare tire cannot be used for a long time, please

6-3. If Your Vehicle Overheats

If engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating and high


engine coolant temperature warning light comes on, it indicates that
the engine is overheating.

You should follow the procedures below:


1. Drive safely off the road and stop vehicle in a safe area, apply
parking brake and shift the shift lever to P position (for DCT/CVT
model) or N position (for MT model), and then turn on the hazard
lights. Turn off air conditioning if it is being used.
2. If coolant or steam sprays out from coolant reservoir, stop the
engine immediately. Wait until steam subsides before opening
hood. If there is no coolant or steam sprays out, leave the engine
idling and check if cooling fan is operating.
If cooling fan does not operate,
turn off engine immediately, and
contact the Chery authorized
service station to check the
cooling system.

OMT15-9904

WARNING
● Escaping steam or coolant is a sign of
very high pressure in cooling system.
To avoid personal injury, never open the
hood until there is no steam spraying
out.
● Never attempt to open the coolant res-
OMT15-9905 ervoir cap when engine and radiator
are hot. Serious scalding injury will be
caused by hot coolant and steam blown
out under pressure.

360
Section 6. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

3. Open hood, check that radiator, hoses and underneath of the


vehicle have no obvious coolant leakage. However, water dripping
from air conditioning after use is normal.

WARNING
When engine is running, keep hands and clothing away from moving fan and
engine drive belt. Even if engine has been turned off, fan may still run.

4. If coolant leakage is found, stop engine immediately, and contact


the Chery authorized service station for inspection and repair as
soon as possible.
5. If there are no obvious leaks,
open coolant reservoir cap
and check if coolant level in it
is low. If the level is low, add
MAX

MIN

coolant to a proper level. Only


use the coolant type
recommended by Chery.

Section 6. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
6-4. Replacing Fuses

Fuses are used to protect electrical circuits and appliances from


overload. If any of electrical appliances does not operate, a fuse may
have blown. If this happens, check and replace fuses as necessary.

1. Turn off all electrical equipment and the engine (ignition) switch.
2. Open fuse box cover and remove suspected fuse (for type A fuse,
use a pull-out tool).
3. Check if fuse is blown. If you are not sure whether fuse has blown,
try to replace the suspected fuse with one that is known good.

emergency (such as radio and cigarette lighter).
It is better to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in
vehicle for emergency use.

CAUTION

● Turn off all electrical equipment and the engine (ignition) switch before
replacing any fuse.
● Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, otherwise, the electrical
appliances may overload. If the fuse with specified amperage rating is still
blown, it indicates that the circuit has a problem. Please contact the Chery
authorized service station for inspection and repair as soon as possible.
● Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary replacement.
Otherwise, this may cause serious damage to electrical appliances, or even
fire.
● Do not modify fuse or fuse box.

8-4. New Vehicle Break-in

■ Engine break-in recommendations:


Within the first 1,000 km:
● It is forbidden to drive at full speed;
● The vehicle speed should not be more than 100 km/h;
● Avoid driving at full speed in each gear.
Within the first 1,000 - 1,500 km:
● Driving speed can be gradually increased to its maximum;
● Engine speed can be gradually increased to its maximum.

CAUTION

● Avoid running engine at unnecessary high speed (Maximum speed which


engine allows to run is 6,000 r/min in short time). Switching early to a high
gear is a good way to save fuel and reduce operational noise and environ-
mental pollution.
● When engine is cold, do not run the engine at its maximum speed whether in
neutral or in other driving gears.

■ Tire and wheel break-in recommendations:


New tires require a short time to break-in. When starting to use, the
best adhesion is not available. Therefore, your vehicle should be
driven slowly and carefully within the first 100 km.
■ Braking system break-in recommendations:
The brakes cannot provide the ideal friction to brake during the
vehicle's first 200 km. You should depress the brake pedal firmly to
increase friction and improve braking capability. This condition also
applies to the each replacement of braking lining.
Wheel bolts must be retightened to the specified torque (130 ± 10
N•m) after the first 800 km of driving. In addition, when wheel bolts
need to be tightened in the repair process, they must be retight-
ened to specified torque after driving 800 km.

■ Oil selection
The 5W in 5W-40 indicates the characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of engine in cold weather.
The 40 in 5W-40 indicates the viscosity of the oil when the oil is at
operation temperature. Oils with a higher viscosity may be better
suited if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme
load conditions.

CAUTION

● Please use the engine oil that meets the specifications and requirements
above, or it will cause damage to the engine.
● Do not exceed high oil level mark on oil dipstick when refilling the engine oil.
● Do not use additional additives, otherwise it will cause damage to the
engine. 9
