After washing the vehicle, please
slightly step on the brake pedal to remove
water from brake disc.
Wheel Train Belt
The driving belt is one of the parts stressed most
seriously in the vehicle, so the quality of belt
should be good and reliable to meet the work
requirements.
When replacing the driving belt, only choosing the
belts of the same size cannot meet the
requirements. For the sake of safety, be sure to
use the genuine belt of Chery. Authorized service
stations of Chery have the genuine driving belts.
Driving Belt Tension Inspection
Note:
The driving belt will elongate after being used for a
certain period of time. When the elongation is up to
a certain degree, the belt will be so loose that it
may cause the damage to the vehicle Therefore, it
is necessary to inspect the tensity of alternator belt
every time the vehicle has covered a 1,000km.
Check of Drive Belt Tension
1. Turn off the ignition switch and take off the key.
2. Press the middle part of the belt by thumb (with
force about 100N) to check the deflection of the
belt: the max permitted deflection: 10mm.
3. Please go to Chery authorized service station
for adjustment if the deflection exceed the allowed
value.
Car Wash
Cold water or slight warm water can be used to
wash car.
Automatic Car Washing Machine
The best car washing method is the brushless car
wash in good washing area. The washing are that

water be sprayed into water.
Manual Washing
If the vehicle washing agent is used, plenty of
water shall be used to wash the vehicle and be
dried by dry cloth.
Cleaning of Headlamp
In order to avoid the damage to the plastic lens
headlamp, the invasive abrasive or chemical
solvent should not be used. Do not wipe the lamp
or use the sharp objects as the lens cleaner when
the mirror is dry.
Close the heater blower before
automatic washing.
The washing material shall not be
thrown away into home garbage and shall be
processed by local qualified waste disposal
facilities.
