Economical and Environmental Driving
Running-in
The engine, transmission, brakes and tyres need time to
'bed-in' and adjust to the demands of everyday motoring.
During the first 1500km, please heed the following advice
so as to enhance the long-term operation performance:
• Do not allow the engine to exceed 3000 rpm in any gear
or the vehicle speed to exceed 120 km/h.
• Do not operate at full throttle or allow the engine to
labour in any gear.
• Do not drive at a constant speed (either high speed or
low speed).
• Avoid heavy braking where possible.
After 1500 km, engine speeds can be gradually increased.
Environment Protection
Your car has been designed with the latest technology in
order to minimize the environmental impact of exhaust
emissions.
Starting and Driving
Economic Driving
The way in which you drive your car has a significant
bearing on the life span of the car, as well as affecting the
environmental pollution and the fuel consumption:
Please properly preheat the engine based on the external
temperature. Too long preheating time may reduce fuel
economy and increase environment pollution.
Before the engine reaches the normal operating
temperature, the hard acceleration or sudden increase in
load may damage the engine.
Drive Smoothly
Traveling at a suitable constant speed is more fuel saving
than frequent braking and acceleration.
hard acceleration, sudden start-off and emergency brake.
Steady acceleration or deceleration uses considerably
less fuel than rapid acceleration or emergency braking,
reduces exhaust pollutants and also minimizes the wear to
mechanical components.
