Warning
If steam or coolant escapes from the
engine, do not open the engine cover as
you may be scalded by the steam or
coolant.
Caution
Never put cold water in an overheated
engine. It will cause damage to the
engine.
When the engine overheats, see your
dealer.
Warning
Coolant from a hot cooling system can
cause serious injury. If the coolant
overflow recovery bottle cap is turned
even a little the coolant can come out.
Never turn the cap when the cooling
system, including the coolant overflow
recovery bottle cap, is hot. Wait for the
cooling system and coolant overflow
recovery bottle cap to cool if the cap ever
has to be turned.
Operation in Heavy Snow
Decelerate when the vehicle turns a
corner, goes uphill or crosses a bridge.
Do not park on a hard road shoulder;
otherwise the snow removal will be
obstructed.
Keep a safe distance from other vehicles;
braking unnecessarily will be limited.
Clear accumulated snow around the
vehicle frequently, prevent the exhaust
pipe from being blocked.

Starting and Operating

New Vehicle Break-In

Follow these guidelines within the initial
mileage of 500 km, which can improve the
performance, promote vehicle economy, and
extend the service life:
Avoid starting the engine by pressing the
accelerator fully.
Do not keep the engine idling for a
long time.
Do not brake hard, except in an
emergency.
Driving and Operating
Do not quickly start, accelerate suddenly
and continuously keep the vehicle running
at high speed if possible, to avoid
damage to the engine and save fuel.
Avoid accelerating by pressing the
accelerator fully at a low gear and driving
by pressing the accelerator to hard.
Do not tow the vehicle.
Do not use features such as the radio and
headlamps for a long time when the engine
is off. When getting out of the vehicle, shut
down the electric equipment for the vehicle,
to avoid draining the battery. If the battery
drains, the vehicle may fail to start.
