MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Engine Oil Consumption
The engine oil consumption is affected by a variety of factors (these
factors also affect fuel consumption), of which the oil type and driving
pattern (especially in the "running-in" period) are the two most
important factors. Generally, the engine oil consumption is higher in the
“running-in" period and in continuous high-speed operation. You must
follow the suggestions on driving tips in this manual. Please refer to
"Driving" in Starting and Driving section.
Coolant
The coolant is harmful, Don't swallow lt. Do not allow
coolant coma Into contact with your skin and ayes. In
case of contact, rinse with plenty of clean water
immediately .
The coolant of correct specification can not only protect the engine
from frozen damage , but also offer corrosion protection throughout
the year. If coolant of correct specification is not added, do not drive the
vehicle. Refer to "Recommended Fluid" in the General Technical
Parameters section for the coolant specification.
The fluid in the cooling system must be discharged at a specified interval,
then the system shall be rinsed, and the appropriate amount of coolant
should be refilled. suggestions on driving tips in this manual. Please refer
to "Driving" in Starting and Driving section.
Only use the specified coolant for filling or replacing. If a non-
recommended coolant is used, the cooling system may be damaged
and the warranty may become invalid.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Check and Refill
Do not remove the expansion tank cap while the system
is hot, for escaped water vapor or hot coolant may
cause injury. If you have to add coolant when the engine
is hot, please wait for 10 minutes, cover a thick cloth on
the expansion tank cap, slowly rotate the coolant
reservoir cap counterclockwise to release the pressure
Inside the coolant reservoir,and then remove the
reservoir cap.
Be sure to check the coolant level when the vehicle is parked on a flat
ground and the engine is not running (in cold state).
The fluid level is visible on the expansion tank, and the normal level
should be between the “MAX" (the maximum amount) and “MIN" (the
minimum amount) marks.
If the level drops to the "MIN" mark, clean the area around the coolant
reservoir cap and rotate the reservoir cap counterclockwise to remove
it. Refill the specified coolant to the level between “MAX" (the
maximum amount) and "MIN" (the minimum amount). Replace the
reservoir cap.
Note: The coolant may expand which It becomes hot, so the liquid
level may be higher than the level mark.
Note: Excessive refill may cause the coolant overflow when the
engine temperature rises, which undermines the cooling effect
Simply refill the fluid to the indicated level when the engine is cool.
If the fluid level drops significantly or frequent refilling is required,
consider if leakage or overheat conditions exist. If so, contact our
Service Dealer for service as soon as possible.
