Introduction
11
The sales unit shall refer to the Chery Car Sale &
Delivery Sheet to check the performance of
complete car in the presence of customer and
introduce the general knowledge of vehicle use
and vehicle model configuration scope to the
customer. The sheet shall be signed by both the
seller and the customer.
Running-in of New Car
Owing to the machining and assembly errors, the
fictions between active components of a new car at
the beginning of use are always much greater than
those under the normal conditions. Since the initial
running-in effect significantly influences the service
life, working reliability and economy of a car, the
running-in rules shall be strictly abided by in the
event of using a new car.
Rules for Running-in Within 1,000km
It is absolutely forbidden to drive the car at its full
speed;
Generally, it is forbidden to drive the car at a speed
over 100km/h;
It is required to the avoid driving the car at its top
speed at various gear positions.
Rules for Running-in from 1,000km to
1,500km
It is allowable to accelerate till the top speed or
drive the car with the maximum tolerable engine
speed.
Precautions after Running-in Period
：
For a running car equipped with an engine
speedometer, the maximum engine speed is
6,000r/min in short-time. In case of manual shift,
no later has the speedometer pointed to the red
indication area than the gearshift lever shall be
pulled to the adjacent higher gear
position.
When the car is running, the very low engine
speed is also undesired. It is necessary to shift the
lever to the proper gear, as the case may be.
In case of a cold car, do not let the engine working
at the maximum speed, despite the lever being set
in the neutral or a driving gear.
At beginning of use, a new tyre does not get the
best adhesive force. Therefore, even a new tyre
also needs running-in. Consequently, during the
first 100km, the car speed shall be kept low and
the driving shall be particularly careful.
A new brake friction needs running-in as well, for
the brake plate does not have the ideal friction
within the first 200km. If the braking effect during
such a period seems poor, it is allowed to properly
increase the pressure on the pedal. This method is
also applicable every time you henceforth replace
the brake lining with new ones.
Once a new car has traveled for 800km in total, it is
compulsory to retighten the wheel nuts to the
specified torques. See Chapter “Specification
Parameters” in this manual for these correct torque
values. For the car whose wheels have been
replaced or whose wheel nuts have been
loosened, it is also required to retighten these
wheel nuts to the specified torques as soon as the
car has run for 800km.
It is required to prevent the engine from running at an
unnecessary high speed. Shifting the lever to higher
gears as soon as possible is helpful for saving fuel,
reducing working noise and lower environmental
pollution.
