118 Driving and operation
Caution
When the engine gets
heated, uncovering the
coolant reservoir will get
steam
or coolant
overflowed, and thus your
face or other body parts may
be scalded.
If you are to uncover the
coolant reservoir, you can
do it after the engine cools
down completely. Apply one
cloth to the cover, open it
slightly at first (by 1/3-1/2),
and then open it fully after
pressure in the reservoir is
released completely.
Start and Operation
Trial Run of New Vehicle
Following measures can be taken within
the initial mileage of 500 km, which can
improve the performance, promote the
vehicle economy and extend the service
life:

Avoid starting the engine by
depressing the accelerator fully.

Do not keep the engine idling for a
long time.

Avoid any emergency shutdown
except in an emergency. With this,
the brake can run in well.

Do not quickly start, accelerate
suddenly and continuously keep the
vehicle running at high speed if
possible, to avoid any damage to the
engine and save the fuel.

Avoid accelerating by depressing
the accelerator fully at a low gear
and driving by depressing the
accelerator greatly.

Do not drag any other vehicle.
Note
Please do not use such electric
equipment as audio and head
lamp for a long time under the
condition that the engine is off.
When getting out of the
vehicle, please shut down the
electric equipment for the
vehicle, to avoid the battery
from running out; if the battery
runs out, the vehicle may fail to
be started.
