140 Driving and operation
Electric Power Steering
(EPS) System
The EPS system provides the steering
assist for the vehicle. The power
steering fluid is not required for the
system,
which brings great
convenience for the daily vehicle
maintenance.
When the ignition switch is connected,
the EPS MIL illuminates momentarily.
The EPS MIL does not go out or
illuminates when the vehicle is
running, indicating the EPS system is
faulted. In case of such condition, you
need immediately go to Aftersales
Service Center to check.
When the EPS system is under
extreme conditions of high load work
for a long time (For example, the
steering wheel is “turned to the end”
for a long time, or the vehicle is moved
into the garage at low speed
repeatedly to a wide angle), the
thermal protection function may be
activated due to excessively high
temperature of electrical elements.
The system will reduce the power assist
after it enters the thermal protection
state, and at the time you have to steer
the wheel with great force. If the normal
power assist need be recovered, you
can steer the wheel at a smaller angle or
promote the vehicle speed. You can
restart the vehicle when necessary.
Note
The EPS system will adjust the
power assist according to the
vehicle speed. As a result, the
steering wheel can be turned
easily at low speed and be
turned relatively steady at high
speed.
Fuel
Fuel Suggestions
Fill GB 92# gasoline for vehicle or
gasoline with the equivalent standard
No., or gasoline with a higher
standard No. Using the fuel with an
extremely low octane value will
reduce power and torque of the
engine, and increase the consumed
fuel volume.
Do not Use Methyl Alcohol
Do not use the fuel containing methyl
alcohol on the vehicle. This fuel will
reduce the vehicle performance and
damage the fuel system components.
Driving in Other Countries
When driving your vehicle in other
countries:

Please follow all registration and
insurance regulations.

Confirm that the country can
provide proper fuel.
