Engine oil dipstick
The engine oil is affected by many factors.
A new engine reaches the normal
operating specification only after traveling
approx. 5,000 Km. More engine oil might
be consumed when the engine operates
with high load.
Regularly check the engine oil, e.g. when
refueling or before a long-distance
journey.
Stop the vehicle on a level ground before
the engine oil is checked. Turn off the
ignition switch and wait for several
minutes in order to let the engine oil flow
into the oil sump (It may need more time
when the outside temperature is low or the
normal working temperature of the engine
is still unavailable). Before the engine oil
is checked, DO NOT start the engine at
the cold state. Draw out the oil dipstick
and clean it with the flannelette-free cloth.
Carefully insert it and draw it out again.
If the level of oil is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the lower of dipstick, DO
NOT refill the oil. The hot oil may exceed
the MAX mark several millimeters due to
the thermal expansion.
If the level of oil is located at the lower
MIN mark or below, refill the engine oil,
which conforms to the Chery’s
specifications, to the position between the
MIN and MAX marks only. For the details,
see the chapter “Capacity and
Specifications”.
Engine oil filler cap
Turn the filler cap counterclockwise and
pull out it to open the filler cap. Please DO
NOT open the filler cap when the engine
is operating.
Turn the filler cap clockwise until a click
is heard. It means the filler cap closed.
The empty oil container
must not be thrown into the
household waste. Please use
local qualified waste disposal facilities
to dispose these items.
Brake Fluid Reservoir
Please DO NOT let such
fluid contact your skin or
eyes. Use plenty of clean
water to wash the position affected
and immediately see a doctor if the
case is happened.
Please DO NOT use the oil
additives or engine treating
compound. It is not only
unnecessary, but also may
damage the engine in certain cases,
without the warranty.
