with a tire pressure gauge and
check carefully whether there is
any cut, damage or over wear.

: Make sure the bolts
are not loose or lost.

water or other liquid leakage on the
ground. (It’s normal that there are
water drops produced by the air
conditioning system.)

Friendly Tips
Do not put toys in the car;
although it is convenient for
children playing, it will leave
security risks; especially in
emergency braking or crash, the
toys not only affect the driving
safety, but also even hurt the
children.
After the engine is started
Exhaust system:
Check whether
there is gas leakage by listening. If any,
repair the exhaust system immediately.
Engine oil level:
Stop the engine and
park the vehicle on the flat ground.
After a few minutes, determine the
engine oil level with an oil measuring
meter.
In driving
Instruments:
Make sure the
maintenance indicators and the
speedometer work normally.
