Driving
Get off the mark
Keep the engine idle and step on the brake
pedal to move the gearshift lever to a
driving gear. When the brake is released,
the vehicle will run slowly itself. Step on
the accelerator pedal to improve vehicle
speed.
AT cars can‟t be towed or
pushed to be started. Please
use jumper wires to connect
to supporting accumulator cells for
jump-starting.
In special circumstances, gear 2 may be
chosen in the manual mode as the starting
gear for running on icy snow cladded
pavement.
Running out of slit and icy
snow
If the driving wheels plunge into silt or icy
snow, try to rock the vehicle through
repeated forward/backward going. Alter
the gearshift between the positions ―D‖
and ―R‖ and slightly step on the gas. In
order to enhance effects, shift to the
position ―R‖ when the vehicle still moves
forward, or vice versa.
Avoid gearshift between driving gear and
reverse gear (rocking) for long; this will
make transmission over-exhausted. The
period for rocking shouldn’t exceed 1
minute.
In rocking, try to keep the engine running
at low speed.
Compulsory gear-down
Automatic
transmission can provide
augmented torsion in climbing up an
abrupt slope or overtaking. To obtain
compulsory gear-down effects, step on the
gasoline throttle to the bottom at gear D
and hold on. The transmission will switch
to the next gear when the engine achieves
maximum speed of rotation.
Parking on the way
Unloosen the accelerator pedal and step on
the foot brake. Keep the gearshift lever in
its original position. Release the foot brake
for another start.
The key principles for driving
of AT cars on different road
conditions

It is suggested that gear D is used for
the flat roads with small gradient. Step
on the gas rapidly* to obtain
immediate acceleration capability.
* Step on the gas rapidly: Driver can step
on the accelerator pedal to the bottom
rapidly. The function of rapid stepping on
the gas is to gear down by one scale for
the purpose that the torsion is increased
and then the speed is accelerated to a
higher level at a higher gear to obtain
excellent acceleration capability.
Notice:
The vehicle will be vibrated slightly when
geared down while being accelerated. This
indicates that compulsory gear-down
functions rather than the engine expedites
jittering. All these are related to rapid
stepping on the gas. This is one key
driving principle necessarily mastered by a
driver.
