Warning Notices
6. Inspection before driving:
• Inspect the lamps for normal operation;
• Inspect the windshield and rearview
mirror for cleanliness, and the wiper for
normal operation;
• Inspect the position of rearview mirror;
• Inspect the tyre pressure and wear
condition. The tyre condition directly
influences the dynamic performance,
economy and ride comfort of the vehicle,
especially the driving safety.
Therefore, please use and maintain the
tyre (including the spare wheel) properly
as per the relevant regulation. Inspect
the tyre pressure when the tyre is cold
(see Pages 153-155);
• Inspect the level of such fluids as
engine oil, brake fluid, power steering
fluid and coolant (see Pages 123-127):
- Inspect the oil level 10 min after the
engine is stopped;
- Inspect the coolant level when the
engine is cold;
- Do bleeding before adding a great
quantity of coolant (when there is
no coolant in the expansion tank) or
changing coolant, as air, if any, in the
cooling system may result in local
overheating of engine;
• Inspect the battery condition (see Page
143).
7. Inspect all warning lamps before the
engine start (with ignition switch at M
position) (see Page 81).
8. Engine running:
• Do not run the engine in enclosed depot
to avoid poisoning by exhaust gas;
• Do not start the engine when the
battery is under charge, because the
engine electronic control unit and the
starter cannot operate normally at this
moment;
• It is not necessary to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting the
engine;
• After high-speed driving, run the engine
at an idle speed for 3-5 min, and then
turn off the ignition switch.
9. Fuel cut-off device (see Page 19).
10. Braking:
• When the engine is shut down, the
vacuum booster will not work and
the brake efficiency will decrease
substantially due to the considerable
increase of brake pedal force; therefore,
