Turn off the ignition switch during traveling.
Parking
Don't park on the ground with dry leaves or grass.
Even if the engine has been stalled, there is a
potential fire hazard because the exhaust pipe still
emits much heat in short time.
Before leaving the vehicle, the ignition switch must
be turned off. Don't let the engine operate when
nobody in the vehicle. If this point is neglected,
your vehicle is likely to move unexpectedly,
resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Chassis Protection
Your vehicle has been quipped with thermal baffle.
Don't hold painting work on the thermal baffle,
exhaust pipe or the catalytic converter body or
beside them. Please don't remove the thermal
baffle.
Oil Consumption
Oil consumption is influenced by the
following factors:
●
The selection of speed & gear
Speed
The above figure shows how the oil consumption is
influenced by the selection of speed and gear.
Operating at low gear to improve the acceleration
performance will result in the obvious higher oil
consumption.
●
Stroke / engine temperature
Drive Introduction
Regular cold-start and shot-range travel will result
in obvious increase of the oil consumption.
●
Traffic and road conditions
Traffic jam, uphill driving, lots of curves and
rough road all affect the oil consumption.
●
Good driving habit
Foresee the danger and keep safety distance
from the front vehicles, which not only can
decrease oil consumption but reduce the braking
abrasion and noise.
●
Vehicle loaded condition
Increase the load of vehicle will cause higher oil
consumption.
●
Vehicle technical condition
Too low tyre pressure or the improper maintenance
of engine & vehicle will result in high oil
consumption.
