Friendly tips
When driving on the slippery road,
rapid acceleration or rapid deceleration
both can cause the vehicle out of
control. Once when having a car
collision accident, it will cause injury to
you.
You should be more careful when
driving on slippery road.
When driving at the highest gear, it can
make engine run stably and accelerate. It
can not only save fuel furthest, but also
control exhaust emission most effectively.
We commend the gear point as following:
Up shifting The speed when
shifting gear
1 gear→2 gear
25 km/h
2 gear→3 gear
40 km/h
3 gear→4 gear
65 km/h
4 gear→5 gear
80 km/h

Max. permissible speed

These speeds correspond
permissible speed of every gear. If exceed
these speeds, the engine speed display will
enter into red area of tachometer. If this
happens, you will feel the engine running
intermittently, this is caused by safety
governor in the ECU control device of
engine. When you let the engine speed
reduce below red area, the engine will
recover normal running.
Before downshifting, you need to ensure the
speed can not exceed the max. permissible
speed of lower gear (see right table), and to
avoid damaging the engine.
