8. Handling of Accident
Precautions for Traction
Before emergency traction, be sure to operate
according to the following precautions:
–
The drivers of the towing and towed vehicles
must turn on the hazard warning indicator
lights, and must observe the local traffic
regulations.
– The towing hook must be securely screwed
into the threaded hole. Otherwise, the towing
hook may slip from the threaded hole during
traction process.
– The towed vehicle must have its shift lever at
the “N” position (for models with automatic
transmission) or at the neutral gear (for vehicle
models with manual transmission).
– The towed vehicle must have its start or switch
at “ON” position. Rotate the steering wheel
back and forth to confirm that it is not locked.
During emergency traction process, be sure to
operate according to the following precautions:
–
Start and move slowly until the tow rope
strains, and then accelerate gradually.
– Drive smoothly, and do not accelerate,
decelerate or turn sharply.
– Always remember that the brake booster and
steering booster of the towed vehicle will not
work. Normally, press the brake pedal in
advance but press it slightly.
– During the traction operation, the tow rope
must always be strained.
If the vehicle transmission suffers oil leakage,
during the emergency traction, only the driving
wheel of the vehicle can be lifted for traction, and:
–
The towing speed shall not be greater than
50km/h.
– The maximum towing distance shall be 50km.
Warning
• The oil pump of the transmission cannot work
when the engine is off. If the driving wheel
rotates on the ground, the transmission will be
at a working condition of poor lubrication when
the vehicle is towed at a high speed and for a
long distance, which will damage the
transmission.
• Please do not lift the rear traction of the
vehicle, otherwise the wheel will rotate
backwards, and the gear in transmission will
reach a very high rotating speed, causing
serious damage to the transmission within a
short time.
