Fire Prevention
In order to prevent vehicle fire, the following
notices shall be kept in mind:
1. Flammables and explosives shall not be
stored in your vehicle.
–
In hot summer, the internal temperature of
vehicle parking in the sun can reach higher
than 70 °C. If there is lighter, detergent,
perfume, and other flammables and
explosives in your vehicle, it is very easy to
cause fire or even explosion.
–
When there is no person in the vehicle, the
lithium battery, power bank and other articles
that have fire risk in the vehicle may also
cause fire.
2. After smoking, confirm the cigarette end goes
out completely.
–
Cigarette not put out completely may cause
fire.
3. Please go to your authorized GAC Motor's
dealer for check regularly.
–
Regularly check the circuits of the whole
vehicle to make sure connectors, insulation
and fixing positions of all electric appliances
and harness are in good condition. Once
problems are found, troubleshoot timely.
4. Refitting the vehicle circuits or adding
electrical components is prohibited:
–
Adding other electric appliances (e.g. high-
power audio device and xenon headlights) will
overload the circuit, and the harness will be
prone to heat and cause fire.
–
It is strictly prohibited to use fuse out of the
rated specifications of electric appliance, or
use other metal wire to substitute fuse.
5. Precautions for driving:
–
During driving and parking, especially in
summer, be sure to check whether
flammables exist under your vehicle, such as
hay, deadwood, leaves, or wheat straw,
because the temperature of engine exhaust
pipe or other components increase after long-
time running, and flammables under the
vehicle may cause fire.
–
Do not park your vehicle at scrap heaps or
other rat-infested places or store anything that
appeals to rats, like snacks. The rats may bite
through the harness, leading to fire.
6. Portable fire extinguisher shall always be kept
on your vehicle, and you should know how to
use it:
–
In order to guarantee safety, fire extinguisher
shall be kept on your vehicle and also be
checked and replaced periodically. You
should know how to use a fire extinguisher, so
as to be prepared for accident.
7. During maintenance, disconnect the negative
wire of battery.
8. Please use the cigarette lighter * provided on
this vehicle. Do not use inverter to take
electricity from cigarette lighter.
