5. Driving guide
Running-in of tire and brake lining
Within the first 500km of driving, drive the
vehicle at a moderate speed to get the new
tires run in fully.
Within the first 200km-300km of driving, the
brake linings have not reach the optimal friction
condition, so please drive at a low speed and
avoid emergency braking as much as possible.
WARNING
● A new tire and brake lining will not
have the best adhesion and friction
characteristics without running-
in. Therefore, drive the vehicle
cautiously within the first 500km to
get the tires fully run in to prevent
accidents.
● Newly replaced brake lining shall
be run in according to the above
requirements as well.
● During driving, keep an appropriate
distance from other vehicles to
prevent emergency braking, as the
new tires and brake linings have not
been fully run in at this time and if
an emergency braking is applied, a
traffic accident is likely to occur.
5.7.3 Driving essentials
Precautions under various road conditions:
-
When the vehicle is driving on a road with
crosswinds and gusts, please decelerate
in advance and control the speed and
steering wheel.
-
Avoid driving on sharp-edged objects or
other road obstacles, otherwise it may
cause serious damage such as tire burst.
-
Reduce the speed and drive at a low
speed while driving on a bumpy or uneven
road; otherwise the chassis may be
scratched, which result in vehicle damage.
-
When the vehicle is being driven downhill,
decelerate and downshift in advance (in M
mode of AT or for the vehicle models with
MT); avoid emergency braking, otherwise
the brake system will overheat or be worn
prematurely.
-
When the vehicle is running on a slippery
road, be careful during accelerating,
upshifting/downshifting (in M mode of
AT or for the vehicle models with MT) or
braking; avoid sudden acceleration or
emergency braking, otherwise it is likely
to cause wheel slip.
-
When the vehicle is running on an icy or
snowy road, drive at a low and constant
speed; avoid sudden acceleration or
emergency braking and install tire chains
for the wheels when necessary.
Precautions while driving over a water-
logged road section:
1. Before driving over a water-logged road
section, check the depth of water, which
shall not be higher than the lower edge of
the vehicle body.
2. Before driving through water, switch off
the A/C before starting, decelerate and
then gently depress the accelerator pedal
without release to drive over the water-
logged road section at a stable and low
speed.
3. Do not stop the vehicle, reverse or shut
down the engine in water.
4. After the vehicle is successfully driven
through the water-logged road section,
gently depress the brake pedal for several
times to evaporate the moisture on the
brake discs so as to restore the braking
performance as soon as possible.
