Warning
●
Before driving, ensure that the parking
brake has been fully released.
●
While driving, do NOT put your foot on
the brake pedal. Doing so will cause the
braking pads to overheat and result in
unnecessary wear and fuel waste.
●
When driving down long and steep slopes,
be sure to slow down and shift to a low gear.
Remember that excessive use of the brakes
will make them overheat and be unable to
work normally.
●
While driving on slippery road, exercise
extra care when accelerating, raising or
lowering the gear or braking. Sudden
acceleration or engine braking may cause the
vehicle to slide or the wheels to run in idle.
●
If the brake is already wet, the braking
distance required will be longer than normal.
In addition, the vehicle may tilt to one side
and the parking brake will not be able to
firmly brake the vehicle.
Driving During Rain
When driving on slippery roads
●
When there is rain, please drive carefully
because the visibility is low, the vehicle
windows are foggy, and the road is very
slippery.
●
When rain starts to fall, be sure to drive
carefully because the road surface becomes
slippery.
●
When rain is falling, do NOT drive at high
speed on expressways. This is because a water
film will form between the tires and the road
surface, which affects the normal operation of
the steering and braking systems.
Warning
●
When driving on slippery road, emergency
braking, acceleration and steering may cause
the tires to skid. This will reduce the steering
performance of the vehicle and thus cause an
accident.
●
When the engine speed changes drastically,
such as in the event of emergency engine
braking, it may cause the vehicle to skid and
result in an accident.
●
After driving through a water puddle,
lightly depress the brake pedal to ensure that
the brake functions normally. Wet brake
pads cannot guarantee normal braking. If the
brake on one side becomes wet and cannot
work normally, it will affect steering control
and cause accidents. Do NOT drive on road
full of water after heavy rains. This may
cause serious damage to the vehicle.
