STARTING AND DRIVING
unneeded electrical appliance temporarily during starting. At a
weather with the temperature below -25C
°
, please park the
vehicle in the garage.
Avoid high-speed and full-throttle running before the engine reaches
the operating temperature.
Warm-up
When the engine temperature is relatively low, there will be a poor
effect if the engine is warmed up with the vehicle in stationary state. It is
recommended to drive the vehicle as soon as possible after the engine is
started.
Self-protection mode
In case of an engine fault which may affect driving performance during
driving, the engine system will enter the "self-protection mode". In this
case, the "engine MIL (yellow)" on the information center display screen
will start flashing or stay on. Please contact Service Dealer for service
immediately.
Shutdown
Turn the ignition switch from ON to OFF position to shut down the
engine.
Pull up the EPB switch.
For vehicles equipped with diesel engine, keep the engine idling for
10s before shutdown, in order to the ensure the turbo charger
bearing is fully lubricated during the deceleration.

Intelligent Start/Stop System
Note: It is suitable for vehicles installed with intelligent start/stop
system.
Basic conditions of usage
The intelligent start/stop system can help to save fuel consumption and
reduce C02 emission. When the intelligent start/stop system is in use, if
the vehicle is stopped at a red light, the engine will be shut down
automatically when the vehicle is stationary. During the engine stop
period, the ignition switch remains On. When necessary, the engine will
be automatically started again. When the ignition switch is turned on,
the intelligent start/stop system will be activated automatically.
Note: The engine has been shut down before the vehicle is about to
enter in stationary state. However, the full functions of brake
booster system and power steering system still can be guaranteed.
