122 Driving and Controls

When parking the vehicle on one uphill ramp, turn the
front wheels away from the road shoulder.

When parking the vehicle on one downhill ramp, turn
the front wheels towards the road shoulder.
Vehicle equipped with a manual transmission:
1.
Turn the gearshift lever to the neutral gear when
parking the vehicle on the horizontal ground.
2. Turn the gearshift lever to the reverse (R) gear when
parking the vehicle towards the downhill direction.
3. Turn the gearshift lever to Gear 1 when parking the
vehicle
When parking one automatic model with dual clutch
transmission, engage Gear P on all pavements.
Caution
If the parking brake is not engaged correctly, the
vehicle may move automatically due to out-of-control
in some cases (such as in case of parking on a ramp)
and thus a danger may be caused. When necessary,
please have the Aftersales Service Center adjust.
Note
Do not drive the vehicle with the parking brake not
released; otherwise the rear wheel brake may get
overheated or be subject to premature wear. As a
result, you must replace the rear wheel brake;
otherwise, other components of the vehicle may get
damaged.
Electric Power Steering (EPS) System
The EPS system provides the steering assist for the vehicle.
The power steering fluid is not required for the system,
which brings great convenience for the daily vehicle
maintenance.
When the ignition switch is connected, the EPS MIL
illuminates momentarily. The EPS MIL does not go out or
illuminates when the vehicle is running, indicating the EPS
system is faulted. In case of such condition, you need
immediately go to Aftersales Service Center to check.
When the EPS system is under extreme conditions of high
load work for a long time (For example, the steering wheel
is “turned to the end” for a long time, or the vehicle is moved
into the garage at low speed repeatedly to a wide angle),
the thermal protection function may be activated due to
excessively high temperature of electrical elements.
The system will reduce the power assist after it enters the
thermal protection state, and at the time you have to steer
the wheel with great force. If the normal power assist need
be recovered, you can steer the wheel at a smaller angle or
promote the vehicle speed. You can restart the vehicle
when necessary.
Note
The EPS system will adjust the power assist according
to the vehicle speed. As a result, the steering wheel
can be turned easily at low speed and be turned
relatively steady at high speed.
