96 4-1 Main Points of Application
In the process of vehicle running, avoid driving on the road sections piled up with
flammables such as dry leaves, wheat straws and grasses, or immediately stop
the vehicle to check whether any flammables are carried along after passing such
road sections. Also avoid stopping the vehicle at a place with sun exposure as far
as possible.

Always keep a portable fire extinguisher in the vehicle and master its application
method.

To ensure vehicle safety, a fire extinguisher should be provided in the vehicle and be
checked and replaced at regular intervals. In addition, the application method of the
fire extinguisher should be mastered to avoid helplessness and dismay in the case of
any accident.

Disconnect the cathode wire of battery during repair and maintenance of the vehicle.

Should the vehicle catch fire, calmly take effective measures to deal with the fire to
minimize losses:
Fires generally have precursors such as abnormal sound body and odor. Once
abnormal situation is found, shut down the motor and stop the vehicle in time. It is
better to stop the vehicle at a sheltered place and then use a dry powder fire
extinguisher (provided by the user) for firefighting.
Find the origin of fire. If you find the front compartment emits smoke, do not open
the front compartment hatch immediately (this is because opening the
compartment hatch will let a large amount of air enter the front compartment,
intensifying combustion and fire spreading. As the front compartment has very
limited combustible materials, keeping the front compartment hatch closed can
control slow combustion and is conducive to putting out fire). In this case, you may
use an on-board fire extinguisher, and aim the extinguisher to the origin of fire via
the gap of the front compartment hatch and discharge the extinguisher to fight fire
or ask passing vehicles for help. If you can borrow several fire extinguishers and
the flame is not visible from outside, you can open the front compartment hatch
and continue firefighting.
Call 119 for firefighting service in time, and contact your insurer at the same time
for on-site handling.
After a fire brigade puts out fire, request the fire brigade to issue an action
certificate and a document indicating the cause of fire.
After an accident occurs, contact your insurer to conduct afterwards treatment.
WARM TIP
It is recommended that commercial insurances (such as spontaneous combustion loss
insurance and robbery and theft insurance) be maintained to prevent loss due to any
accident of the vehicle.
