4. Usage and Maintenance
Checking Battery
Please regularly check the battery capacity when
driving for a long distance or in hot areas or using
the battery for a long time.
-
Turn over the battery positive pole cover in
the direction of the arrow.
-
Check the battery connection for corrosion or
loosing and check the battery appearance for
cracks and expansion. - In
any
case
mentioned above, go to your GAC MOTOR
dealer for troubleshooting.
Charging and Replacing Battery
If your car is always driven for short distances or
stored for a long time, perform more frequent
checks for the battery than the specified
maintenance intervals.
If the battery is damaged, its capacity will be
insufficient, making it difficult to start the car. In
this case, we recommend you to have your GAC
MOTOR dealer charge or replace the battery.
Charging Battery
Battery charging requires relevant expertise and
must be done in controllable environment, so it
should be done by your GAC MOTOR dealer.
If the Start or Ignition switch fails to turn off after
the engine is closed, the battery will discharge
rapidly when any electric device on the car is used.
1.
Do not use any electrical equipment for an
extended period after the engine is shut
down.
2.
When leaving the car, be sure to close the
doors tightly and turn off all the electrical
equipment (e.g., lights, etc.)
3.
If the engine cannot be started after
electric equipment is used, do not
continuously start the engine, restart the
engine after 5~10min. If the engine still
cannot be started, please contact your
GAC MOTOR dealer for maintenance.
