Starting and Driving
127
Fuel System (Methanol Appli-
cation)
The vehicle is equipped with a bifuel sys-
tem, in which the gas system is the ignition
system, and after the engine starts, the
ECU will automatically switch to the metha-
nol system. The methanol filler is on the LH
side of the vehicle and the gas filler is on
the RH side of the vehicle.
Gasoline Requirements
Use unleaded gasoline having a mini-
mum Research Octane Number
(RON) of 92 or above. The use of low grade
of gasoline would cause serious damage to
the catalytic converter.
The use of the recommended fuel is import-
ant for maintenance of vehicles in a right
way. To keep the engine clean and obtain
the best performance of the vehicle, you
should use unleaded gasoline with RON 92
or above. If the octane number is less than
92, you may hear the knockings from the
engine when driving, such noises generally
refer to spark knockings. If that happens,
please use unleaded gasoline with a mini-
mum RON of 92 or above as soon as possi-
ble. Even when using the gasoline with the
octane number no less than 92, if you can
still hear the serious knockings, the engine
needs to be serviced. Some fuels contain a
type of octane improver called manganese
(MMT). We don't suggest you use this kind
of fuel containing MMT.
Methanol Requirements
The vehicle can only be filled with
M100 methanol meeting GB23510-
2009 "Vehicle Fuel Methanol" require-
ments. The methanol should be mixed with
0.005% of special methanol additives in
order to avoid engine knocking.
Carbon Deposit Cleaner in Fuel
System
The carbon deposit cleaner in fuel system
can improve the driving performance of the
vehicle and the gasoline cleaning perfor-
mance, removing the deposits in the fuel
injector, intake valve, combustion chamber
and the oil system so as to prevent internal
carbon deposit of the engine and other
effects; besides, the cleaner can also con-
tribute to keep the good condition of the
engine, improving combustion efficiency,
reducing automobile fuel consumption, and
prolonging the service life of the engine.
Please use the carbon deposit
cleaner in fuel system approved by
the Geely Automobile. It is not allowed to
add any additive not authorized by the
Geely to the gasoline.
Safety Precautions in Gasoline
Station
The gasoline / methanol are highly
flammable and is easy to explode in
the airless space.
Pay attention to the following items when
you fuel up your vehicle :
•
Stop the engine.
•
Don't smoke or use the open flame.
•
Don't use mobile phones.
•
Avoid the fuel overflow.
•
Do not fuel up excessively.
