Warning
●
New tires and braking pads that have not
been worn in do not have the best attachment
force or frictional force. Therefore, within
the first 500km, be sure to drive carefully to
wear in the tires and protect against
accidents.
●
New brake pads must also be worn in
accordance with the above requirements.
●
While driving, be sure to keep a suitable
distance from other vehicles and be careful to
prevent situations which require emergency
braking. Because in such situations, the new
tires and braking pads have not been worn in
and could easily cause traffic accidents.
●
If the brake is wet or ice forms on it, or
when the vehicle is driven on road sprayed
with salt, its braking effect will fall.
Warning
●
When driving on a downward slope, the
brake is stressed, which could extremely
easily cause overheating. It is therefore
suggested that you switch to a low gear
before driving downhill so as to reduce
vehicle speed and fully leverage the braking
effect of the engine to reduce the load of the
brake.
●
Be sure to apply the brake based on road
and traffic conditions. Do NOT depress the
brake pedal when it is not necessary to do.
Doing so will wear down and overheat the
brake , resulting in overly long braking
distance and excessive wear of the brake.
●
Do NOT turn off the engine and let the
vehicle coast. Doing so will cause the braking
booster to not work and the braking distance
will greatly increase, thus increasing the risk
of accidents.
●
Do NOT use the brake fluid for too long.
Be sure to replace the brake fluid by the
specified cycle.
Key Points of Driving in Different
Situations
●
In side winds, be sure to drive at low speed.
This will help controlling the vehicle.
●
Keep the correct angle, and avoid driving on
tall objects, or objects with sharp edges, or on
other road obstacles, because this may cause tire
puncturing and other types of serious damage.
●
When driving on bumpy or uneven roads, be
sure to reduce the vehicle speed. Any impacts or
scratches from failing to do so may seriously
damage the vehicle.
●
When the vehicle is washed or when the
vehicle is driven through deep water, the brake
may get wet. Look around to see whether it is
safe and lightly depress the brake pedal. If you
cannot sense the normal braking force, the brake
may have become wet. To make it dry, drive the
vehicle at a low speed while ensuring safety.
Meanwhile, lightly depress the brake pedal.
Drive carefully. If the brake still does not work
safely, you need to park the vehicle on the road
side and contact an authorized BAIC dealership
for assistance.
