5. Driving Guide
Warning
•
The best adhesion and friction cannot be
realized for new tires and braking pad
without running-in. Therefore, drive
carefully for the first 500km to run in the
tires well and avoid accidents.
•
After replacement, the new braking pad
shall also go through running-in period in
accordance with the above requirements.
•
Keep an appropriate distance with other
vehicles during driving to prevent
emergency braking, because at that time,
both the new tires and braking pad are not
fully run-in, and emergency braking may
cause traffic accident.
•
If the brake is damped or frozen, or the car
is running on salt spreading road, the
braking effect weakens.
Warning
•
Heavy work load of the brake during
running downhill makes it prone to
overheat. It is recommended to slow down
by shifting to a lower gear and fully use
engine braking to reduce its work load.
•
Always brake the car according to the road
and traffic conditions. Avoid unnecessary
press of brake pedal. Doing so can make
the brake overheating, resulting in a longer
braking distance and excessive wear.
•
Do not let your car coast with the engine
off, because as the brake booster is
disabled, the braking distance will be much
longer, making the situation accident-
prone.
•
Do not use the brake fluid for too long. Be
sure to replace the brake fluid according to
the maintenance intervals in the Warranty
Manual.
