Before engine start
Before engine is started, the shift
lever of cars equipped with manual
transmission should be moved to
neutral gear.
It is proposed to pedal brake before
starting a car equipped with manual
transmission.
After engine is started, please relea
-se ignition key immediately to
make it move from "START" to "ON".
Please avoid synchronous running of
starter and engine.
After being started, the engine under
cold condition will generate stronger
running noise because fuel pressure
should be enabled firstly during
hydraulic valve clearance adjustm
-ent. Therefore, this is a normal
phenomenon.
Please don't keep the engine of a
parked car running for a long time.
Start the car and drive it as soon as
possible.
Prevent high-speed running and
sharp speed-up before engine reac
-hes its running temperature. It is
prohibited to start a car equipped
with exhaust gas catalytic converter
by dragging it for more than 50m.
Otherwise, not fully burnt fuel will
flow into the converter and then
damage it.
As for engine start based on
dragging, please try to use battery of
other vehicles as auxiliary start.
Note
Do not run the starting motor
exceeding 15s at one time. If the
engine cannot start, please try it
again after 10s. This will help to
avoid damage to the starting
motor.
Do not have the engine racing
over 5s. Too high temperature
will result in exhaust system
damage.
