If the Engine Does Not Work
In case that the ignition switch is at the
START position, if the starter motor
does not work, please check whether
the battery is dead, whether the
battery port is connected correctly and
whether relevant fuses get damaged.
If the starter motor works but the
engine fails to be started, please
check fuel level, fuel filter, fuel pump,
relevant wiring, etc.
The operation condition of the fuel
pump can be preliminarily judged by
hearing sounds made by the ignition
switch when it is being turned on.
Measures Taken in Case of Engine
Overheat
When the vehicle is running, if the output
power of the engine reduces suddenly
or the warning lamp on the instrument
indicating excessively high temperature
illuminates, park your vehicle in a safe
area and take following measures:

Have the engine run at idle, and turn
the transmission at the neutral
position.

Pull the parking brake lever.

Turn off the A/C.

Open the bonnet to ventilate the
engine bay.

If the level of the coolant reservoir
does not drop, stop the engine to
cool it.

If the coolant level is very low,
uncover the reservoir, slowly fill
water in the reservoir drop by drop
till the level reaches the MAX
(maximum) level mark of the coolant
reservoir.

After taking provisional measures,
immediately send the vehicle to
the Aftersales Service Center for
inspection.
Warning
Do not open the bonnet if
steam or coolant overflows
from
engine parts.
Otherwise, you may be
scalded by steam or coolant.
Caution
Suddenly filling cold water in
the overheated engine will
damage the engine.
The handling method above
is taken in case of an
emergency. When the engine
gets overheated, you are
suggested to contact the
Aftersales Service Center for
solution.
