Starting and Driving
When the vehicle is in creeping status, open the driver side
door, and then the vehicle will abort its creeping function.
After the driver side door is closed, the brake pedal is
depressed and then released again, the vehicle will restore
its creeping function.
Note: If the vehicle moves off at 2nd gear, the creeping
function will not function; if the vehicle starts running
at 1st gear or R gear, but handbrake is still applied,
the vehicle will exit its creeping function. After the
handbrake is released, the vehicle will restore its
creeping function.

vehicle starts its running on a slope, use the handbrake
and acceleration pedal together.
