Fuel Filler Cap
Before opening the fuel filler cap, please turn on the fuel filler flap
opening switch (1) on the driver's door first, and then open the fuel
filler flap from the vehicle interior.
Rotate the fuel filler cap counterclockwise to remove it, and secure it on
the bracket of the filler flap, then refuel. After refueling, 3 clicks need to
be heard when tightening the fuel filler cap clockwise, which indicates
that the fuel filler cap has been tightened in place, then close the fuel filler
flap.
STARTING AND DRIVING
Save Fuel
Fuel consumption is mainly influenced by three factors:
• Vehicle maintenance mode
- Please go to our Service Dealer for regular maintenance of the
vehicle in accordance with the provisions in the ''Warranty and
Maintenance Manual”.
- Check the tyre pressure periodically.
• Vehicle driving mode
- Avoid high-speed driving at low gears (the gear shall be shifted),
otherwise the vehicle will consume more fuel.
- Frequent cold start and/or short-distance driving consumes a lot
of fuel.
- The vehicle will consume a lot of fuel when driving on a blocked or
winding road or driving up hills.
- Pre-consider possible risks to avoid emergency brake.
- Make sure the parking brake handle is released completely during
driving.
• Vehicle Load
- The heavier the load is, the higher the fuel consumption is. Do not
add unnecessary load.
Refueling
It is prohibited to mix fuel with engine oil, kerosene,
paraffin, water or other liquids for use, which may
damage the fuel system.
Do not fill so much fuel that the fuel can be seen in the
filling port or overflows, leading to a fuel contact risk for
you and other persons.
Select the fuel to be added according to the label on the fuel filler port of
vehicle's tank. Please refer to "Main Engine Parameters" in the General
Technical Parameters section.
In order to prevent fuel from overflowing, please stop
refueling when the fuel filler nozzle is automatically
closed. If you continue refueling at this time, the fuel
tank will be overfilled and the fuel will overflow when the
outdoor temperature is high or the vehicle makes a turn.
• It is recommended to use high-quality fuel free of additive or other
engine cleaner.
• If you fill a wrong type of fuel by accident, contact our Service
Dealer for service immediately. Do not start the engine at this
time. lf the engine is started with a wrong type of fuel filled, the fuel
system components will be damaged severely. This kind of
damage is not covered by warranty.
