! Warning
Do not install a rear-facing child safety seat on the passenger
side seat. When a rear-facing child safety seat is installed on the
passenger seat, an airbag activation may cause serious injury or
loss of life to a child if a collision happens.
Do not put seat covers on the front seats – this will prevent the
side airbags from deploying properly.
SRS Airbag Warning Light
The SRS airbag warning light is displayed on the dash as a circuit
that monitors the condition of the auxiliary front airbag and
preloaded seatbelt system.
The SRS airbag warning light circuit is composed of a fault
diagnosis sensor unit, a master / slave airbag module, an airbag
ECU, a front side airbag module and associated lines.
When the ignition switch is in “ON” or “START” position, the
airbag warning light will light up, after about 3 seconds the
airbag warning light will go out, indicating that the system is in
working condition.
The airbag system needs service if any of the following
conditions occur:
• SRS airbag warning lights continue to light after 3secs
• SRS airbag warning light flashes
• The SRS airbag warning light does come on
19
In these cases, the auxiliary front airbag system may not function
normally. Please immediately contact DFSK authorised service
outlets for inspection and repair.
! Warning
• Do not place anything on the steering wheel horn cover,
instrument panel, or front seat, nor place anything between
the occupant and the steering wheel, instrument panel, and
front seat. Once the airbag is activated, some of the airbag
components will be hot. Do not touch them, or you may get
burned.
• Unauthorised modification of any component or circuit of
the airbag system could result in accidental activation of the
airbag or damage to the airbag system. Modification of the
airbag system can result in serious personal injury. These
modifications include placing items on the steering wheel
horn cover, instrument panel, or installing other decorative
materials around the airbag system.
• Operation on or around the airbag system must be
carried out by DFSK authorised service outlets. Do not
use unapproved electrical test equipment and detection
equipment to test the airbag system.
• When the secondary airbag is activated, a large sound will
be produced, followed by smoke emission. The smoke is
harmless and does not cause a fire. However, please note this
smoke should not be intentionally inhaled.

Electric Power Steering System
! Warning
If the engine is turned off or cuts out while the vehicle is
travelling the power steering system will not work and steering
will become harder.
The electric power steering system provides additional steering
force to reduce the driver effort required to turn the wheel
particularly whilst parking.
When the vehicle speed increases the assisted power steering
force is reduced. The system is operated by an electric motor
therefore do not continually turn the steering wheel while
stationary.
When turning the steering wheel too fast, you will hear the
sound of friction, this is normal rather than a failure, if necessary,
consult Dongfeng authorised service outlets for inspection.
When the engine is running and the electric power steering
system EPS warning light flashes, this indicates the steering
system is not working properly and the vehicle should be
examined by an authorised DFSK service centre.
Start up and driving
Braking System
The braking process is through brake and tyre friction with the
ground which reduces the speed.
If the vehicle isn’t used for an extended period, some surface
corrosion may build up on the friction surfaces. This may cause
noise when the brakes are applied for the first time and should
stop after a few applications of the brakes. If the noise persists
take the vehicle to your nearest DFSK Service Centre.
To avoid affecting the pedal travel, do not lay a thick carpet
under the brake pedal.
Vacuum assisted braking
The brake booster uses the vacuum of the engine to assist
braking. If the engine is stalled or the drive belt is broken, you
can still stop the vehicle with the brake pedal pressed down, but
you will require extra force on the pedal and there will be an
increase in the braking distance.
If the vehicle is moving, with the engine off, the auxiliary brake
will not work, and the braking becomes more difficult.
Note
Continuous braking may result in increased brake pedal force
required when the vehicle is driving in high altitudes.
! Warning
Do not allow the vehicle to coast when the engine is switched
off.
50
Start up and driving
Use of brake
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. This will
cause the brakes to overheat and the disc brakes to accelerate
wear while reducing fuel economy.
To prevent excessive wear of the disc brakes and to avoid
overheating, lower the vehicle speed before descending a long
slope. Brake overheating can reduce braking performance and
may cause an accident.
Use extreme care when braking, accelerating, or changing gears
on wet roads. Emergency braking and rapid acceleration may
cause the wheels to slip, resulting in an accident.
Driving uphill
When starting uphill the electronic parking brake must be used
to stabilise the vehicle.
Downhill driving
When driving downhill the engine can effectively be used to
control the vehicle speed by limited use or not acceleratoring.

can not prevent accidents caused by careless or dangerous
driving. Braking distances on rough, gravel, snow-covered

roads or when using snow chains may also be longer and the
car must be kept at a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
In short, the driver must maintain a high degree of safety
awareness.
• Tyre type and condition may also affect the braking effect.
• When changing tyres, all wheels must be fitted with tyres of
the specified size.
• When installing the spare tyre, make sure that the size and
model of the spare tyre are the same as those on the tyre
pressure label. Refer to the “Tyre Pressure information” in
section “IX. Technical Information”.
• For more information, refer to “Tyres and Wheels” in the
section “VIII. Routine Maintenance Checks”.
ABS system
Depress the brake pedal with a stable pressure, but do not
depress and release the brake pedal repeatedly. The ABS will
work to prevent the wheels from locking and assist the driver in
maintaining control of the vehicle to avoid the hazard.
! Warning
Do not release the pressure on the pedal. Doing so may cause
the braking distance to increase.

Self-test function
ABS contains electronic sensors, electric pumps, hydraulic
solenoid valves and processors. The processor has a self-test
function that tests the system each time the engine is started
and when the vehicle moves at low speed forward or backward.
When performing a self-test, you may hear dull “metal” noise or
feel the pulse of the brake pedal. This is a normal phenomenon
and does not indicate any malfunction. If the processor detects
any fault, it turns off the ABS system and lights the ABS brake
warning indicator on the instrument panel. At this point, the
brake system can work, but with no anti-lock function.
If the ABS fault indicator lights, please drive as soon as possible
to a DFSK authorised service outlet.
Normal operation
The ABS system will come into operation when the vehicle
speed exceeds 15km /h, the speed will change according to
different road conditions.
When the ABS detects that one or more wheels are close to
locking, the actuator will quickly work to relieve pressure. This
action is similar to a quick release brake. When the ABS brakes,
you can feel the pulse of the brake pedal, and hear from the
engine an abnormal sound or feel the vibration of the actuator.
This is normal and indicates normal operation of the ABS.
Start up and driving
Braking force distribution system (EBD)
The electronic brake force distribution system is a complement
to the ABS system. Generally speaking, EBD’s role is similar to
the non-ABS vehicle’s load-sensing proportional valve (more
sensitive than the load-sensing valve).
Self-test function
Each time the engine is started and the vehicle moves slowly
forward or backward, the EBD will also self-test as ABS. If the
processor detects any fault, it shuts down the EBD system
and causes the EBD fault indicator on the instrument panel to
illuminate. If the EBD fault indicator lights during self-test or
driving, please drive the vehicle to a DFSK authorised service
centre as soon as possible.
! Warning
If the both the ABS and EBD fault lights show at the same time
during self-test or running, decelerate slowly according to the
road condition until the car is safely stopped and immediately
contact a DFSK authorised service outlet.
Driving in cold weather
! Warning
• Drive carefully taking due regard of the road conditions.
Both acceleration and deceleration must be done carefully.
If the acceleration or deceleration is too sudden, the driving
wheels will be more likely to brake traction.

Parking brake
• For cold weather, allow for a longer braking distance.
Do not apply the parking brake to the vehicle when it is parked

wheels. Maintenance” in the section “Rust Protection”.
2. When driving vehicles on ice and snow, the four wheels
should be replaced with snow tyres.
3. Use studded tyres to increase the driving force on the icy
road. Studded tyres may have less slip resistance on wet or
dry road surfaces than non-studded tyres.
4. If necessary, use a snow chain. When installing a snow chain,
make sure that it is sized for your vehicle’s tyres and installed
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Be aware
that snow chains cannot by law be driven on tarmac roads
that are not covered with snow or ice.
