deteriorate and you shall turn on
headlights even in daytime for better
visibility.
You shall check the windshield wiper
and cleaner regularly. Keep sufficient
cleanser liquid in the cleanser tank of
windshield cleaner. If the wiper can not
wipe the windshield clean, you shall
replace the wiper blade. In addition, you
can use defroster and AC device to
prevent fogging on the internal side of
the windows.
Driving force (adhesive force) – you
shall check whether the wear and
pressure of the tires are appropriate
regularly, which is important to prevent
the auto shifting (adhesive force
reduced on wet road). In winter all 4
wheels shall change to snow tires (with
deep anti-skidding tread) for optimum
operation performance.
In driving you shall check the
ever-changing road conditions. Damp
leaves my be as slippery as snow,
“Clean” road may be covered with thin
ice. When the environment temperature
is near freezing point, driving is very
dangerous as the road may be covered
by water and ice alternatively. As a
result, the adhesive force may change a
lot suddenly.
When downshifting, take special care. If
the adhesive force is low, the driving
wheels may be locked up for an instant,
which may also cause skidding.
In overtaking or being overtaken, take
special as the water fog splashed up by
large vehicle may block you view and
the air shock wave caused by large
vehicle may lead to losing control of the
car.
Note: do not drive on a road under deep
water, which may cause damage or
failure of engine and electrical system.
Engine
Fault Indicator
This indicator will be on for several
seconds when turning the ignition switch
to ON (II). If it turned on at any other
time, it means some emission control
device in the engine system has fault.
Even if you cannot feel obvious change
in vehicle performance, the fault may
cause deteriorated fuel economy and
increase exhaust emission, and long
time driving under this condition may
result in severe damage.
