5.7.3 Driving essentials
Precautions under various road conditions:
-
When driving on roads with crosswinds or
gusts, slow down in advance, and control
the speed and steering wheel well.
-
Avoid driving on sharp objects or other
road obstacle, otherwise it may cause
serious damage such as tire burst.
-
When driving on bumpy roads or uneven
roads, reduce the speed and drive at a
low speed, otherwise it may scratch the
chassis and cause vehicle damage.
-
When driving downhill, slow down in
advance to avoid emergency braking
and overheating or excessive wear of the
brake system.
-
When driving on a smooth road, be
careful when accelerating or braking.
Rapid acceleration or emergency braking
may cause wheel slip.
-
When driving on icy and snowy roads,
drive at a low and constant speed and
avoid rapid acceleration or emergency
braking; The wheels can be fitted with tire
chains as required.
Precautions while driving over a water-
logged road section:
1. Before driving on a waterlogged road
section, check the depth of water, which
shall not exceed the lower edge of the
body.
2. During wading, turn off the A/C before the
vehicle starts, slow down, gently depress
and hold the accelerator pedal, and pass
through the waterlogged section at a
stable and low speed.
3. Do not park the vehicle in the water, or
reverse or shut down the engine in the
water.
4. After successfully wading through the
waterlogged section, gently depress the
brake pedal for several times to evaporate
the water on the brake discs so as to
restore the normal braking performance
as soon as possible.
NOTE
After vehicle cleaning or driving on deep
water road, the brake lining and brake disc
are soaked in water, the braking effect
will be greatly reduced when the brake is
applied; The braking distance will be longer
than normal, and the vehicle may be biased
to one side, and the parking brake will not
be able to brake vehicle firmly. In this case,
drive at a low speed first, and gently step
on the brake pedal continuously to remove
the residual moisture in the brake. After
the braking effect returns to normal, drive
normally.
Driving essentials in winter
1. Check if the coolant is in good condition
and if it has good anti-freeze effect as
follows:
-
Fill the cooling system with the coolant
of the same type as the original one
according to the ambient temperature.
-
Adding unsuitable coolant may cause
damage to the engine.
