Starting

Preparation Work before Starting

The engine starting is controlled by the electronic control
system of engine.
As staring the electric injection engine, don't step on the
accelerator pedal before or during starting. The accelerator
pedal can be stepped only when the starting is difficult.
Please refer to section "The Start of Engine" for details.
Long-time running of engine at high speed will cause
excessively high temperature of the engine and exhaust
system, which will possibly result in fire and other
damages. Therefore, don't park the vehicle on the ground
with dry grass or other dry coverings.
Don't start the vehicle in the enclosed garage or
other closed areas for a long time, for the exhaust gas is
noxious. Do open the garage gate before starting the
vehicle, please refer to section "Cautions of Exhaust Gas"
in this chapter for details.

Safety Precautions

The idle speed of engine is controlled by electronic control
system. The high idle speed as the engine starting makes
for the temperature rise of engine. After the temperature
rise, the idle speed should be reduced automatically. If the
idle speed can't be reduced automatically, the vehicle
should be sent to Chery authorized service station for
overhaul. Don't let the engine operate for over 10 minutes
at the speed higher than the specified idle speed.
