Driving
27
It’s recommended to turn off
the engine during traffic jam
or long period waiting such as
red light
Stroke Distance/Engine
Temperature
The frequent cold vehicle start and the
short distance journeys will result in the
obvious increasing of the fuel
consumption.
Traffic and Road Condition
The crowded traffic, upward slopes, multi
curved routines and rough roads will cause
detrimental influence on the fuel
consumption.
Good Driving Habits
The prediction of danger and keeping safe
driving distance with foregoing vehicle
will not only reduce the fuel consumption
but also reduce the wearing and noise of
the brake.
The 3min engine idle is equivalent to
driving for 1km.
Vehicle Load Status
The increasing of vehicle load will result
in the higher fuel consumption.
Vehicle Technical Status
The low tire pressure or improper engine
and vehicle maintenance also will result in
higher fuel consumption.
Essentials for Fuel- Saving
Driving and Environmental
Protection:
y
Fuel-saving driving, and use
supplementary electrical loads only
when needed.
y Start without the heating of the
vehicle.
y Use the accelerator smoothly.
y Shift to next higher gear as soon as
possible so as to achieve lower
engine speed.
y Prediction of traffic condition.
y Turn off A/C and rear windscreen
heating immediately whenever
unnecessary.
y
Check/adjust the tire pressure
periodically.
y Conduct vehicle maintenance
periodically, preferable conducted by
Chery authorized service station.
Radiator Fan
The radiator fan is an electrical fan with
the working condition controlled by the
engine ECU. This switch will
automatically turn on the fan circuit when
the coolant or the engine compartment
reached certain temperature.
After stopping the vehicle
and the engine, the radiator
fan will continue running
for certain period since the engine is
still under hot condition and will
stop running when the engine is
cooled to certain temperature. Even
though, the fan may still start
suddenly in case of the sudden
temperature increasing of the engine
compartment due to the influence of
the ambient environmental
temperature (sunshine exposure or
high temperature region). Therefore,
cautions should be taken when
operating in the engine
compartment so as to avoid the
accident.
Instruction:
If the fan isn’t running when the coolant
temperature reached the fan start
temperature, then check the fan fuse for
burn-out. Replace the fuse if necessary.
