Driving
If you step on the gas slowly, it is
relatively hard for the vehicle to be geared
down while being accelerated. If you step
on the gas slowly to one half or two thirds
of the stroke, it is impossible for enough
acceleration horsepower (torsion) to be
obtained,
though some horsepower
(torsion) may be increased. This is the
reason why customers feel the horsepower
is low. In addition, jittering will be much
larger in stepping on the gas slowly;
avoidance is thus necessary.

It is suggested that gear 3 or gear 2 be
used in the manual mode for the roads
with intermediate gradient. Stepping
on
the gas rapidly* provides
immediate acceleration capability.

Please use gear 1* in the manual mode
for the roads with large gradient.
Don’t use gear D. Stepping on the gas
rapidly
provides immediate
acceleration capability.
*Drivers can’t use gear 1 for the whole
journey. Depending on gradient change,
the gearshift lever should shift in gear 2 or
to the position D for normal driving. To
use gear 1 for long and forget shifting to
the position D for normal driving may
incur damages to transmission. Pay special
attention.

If the period for continual braking
lasts too long in downslope driving,
the braking performance will fade due
to overheating of the brake. Please use
engine braking* to lower the vehicle
speed.
* The engine braking refers to the braking
effect achieved by shifting in a lower gear
during
journey and releasing the
accelerator pedal, enabled by engine
deceleration and low transmission gear
ratio.
The lower the gear is, the better the effects
of engine braking will be.
To shift in a lower gear
imposes great impact upon
engine
and transmission
during driving at high speed. Shift in
a lower gear only when the vehicle is
speeded down appropriately.

Please use the manual shift mode
before downslope driving to shift in
the lowest gear to achieve best braking
effects for the downslope roads with
very large gradient.
Electronic Cruise Control
System
（ ）
In order to reduce the driving pressure of
stepping on accelerator pedal, cruise
control system keeps the car steadily
running faster than 25km/h and slower
than 130km/h within engine power
toleration.
Use of cruise
control system is not
recommended in traffic
hubs and unfavorable
driving conditions (for
example, slippery roads,
vehicle
skidding or
rolling forward).
Recommended car speed
for cruise driving ranges
from 35km/h to 130km/h
and low speed cruise
driving may accelerate
the wearing down of
transmission gear.
