Start
Preparation before Start
The engine start is controlled by the
engine electrical control system.
Do not step on the accelerator before start
and during start when starting the
electrical injection engine. The accelerator
should be used only when having difficult
start. Please refer to the section “Engine
Start” for the details of vehicle start.
The long period high speed
idling running of the engine
will result in the overheating
of the engine and the exhaust system,
which may result in the danger of fire
or other damages. Therefore, do not
park, idling run or driving on the
ground covered with dry grass and
other dry coverings. The exhaust
system will increase the temperature
of the engine compartment and the
exhaust pipe that may cause fire.
Do not start the vehicle in
the closed garage or other
closed locations since the
vehicle exhaust gas is poisonous.
Make sure to open the garage gate
before the engine start. Refer to the
section “Caution of Vehicle Exhaust
Fume” for details.
Safety Notice
The idle speed of the engine is controlled
by the electrical control system. The idle
speed at engine start is quite high to help
increase the engine temperature. The idle
speed should reduce automatically when
the engine temperature is increased. Please
deliver your vehicle to the Chery
authorized service station for overhaul if
the idle speed can’t reduce automatically.
Do not run the engine at the speed higher
than specified idle speed for more than 10
min.
Before Vehicle Start

fastened with safety belt. Please
refer to the chapter "Seat and Safety
Protection” for the details of safety

method.

key is turned on, make sure that the
dashboard alarm lamp lights shortly.
If not, then it needs to deliver your
vehicle to the Chery authorized
service station for overhaul.
If the driver safety belt is fastened
before turning on the ignition key, then
the safety belt alarm lamp won’t light.
