Driving
88
If the vehicle is off tracking or swaying during
traveling, please check the following items:
 Whether the pressures of tyres are the same;
 Whether the abrasion of tyres is uniform;
 Whether the suspension components are
loosening or wearing;
 Whether the steering components is loosening
or wearing;
● Whether the wheel alignment is correct.
● On the steep downhill road, to achieve better
brake effects, please select manual gearshift
mode and choose lowest gear position before
going downhill.
MT Operation
The manual transmission has five forward gears
and one reverse gear.
Layout of gear positions:
Gear Shifting
Application/operation methods and precautions:
● Step on the clutch pedal completely when
shifting, move the gearshift lever to required
position with slight force. Make the
transmission disconnected with engine torque
and then operate the shift lever.
To avoid the
noise during shifting the reverse gear, wait for
3 seconds after stepping down the clutch
pedal completely when vehicle is stopped,
meanwhile the operation will make reverse
gear shifting smoother.
● The low gear shall be applied as going
downhill or turning, and it is forbidden to make
the vehicle slide with applying clutch.
● When the transmission is shifting up, don’t
skip over gears, or else it will affect the service
life of the synchronizer.
● In condition of idle gear and engine stopping,
it is forbidden to use synchronizer for gearshift
and start engine by force, or else it will affect
the service life of synchronizer.
● Flapping method (that is the operation method
of pushing followed by releasing) is forbidden
as shifting. The shift gear shall be pressed
with hand all the time, which can reduce the
wearing time of the lock ring of synchronizer
and reduce the abrasion.
● After gear shifting, don’t put your hand on the
shift lever, or else it will cause too early
abrasion of shift fork.
● If there are abnormal phenomena of
transmission in use such as abnormal sound
and obviously difficult operation, stop the
vehicle at once to check and continue to drive
after troubleshooting.
●
Don’t put your foot on the clutch pedal as
traveling, or else it will cause too early
abrasion of transmission.
● Only when vehicle is stopped, the reverse
gear can be applied. When engine is running,
step down the clutch pedal and wait for
several seconds before shifting to avoid noise
from transmission; once shifting into reverse
gear, the back-up light will be on.
