Note:
When parking on a ramp, be

sure to step on the brake pedal
and take up the hand brake. Do
not stop the car from slipping by
stepping on the throttle pedal in
drive position, which may lead to
overheating of the transmission
clutch or badly worn.
For parking, before shifting the

lever to P position, make sure to
take up the hand brake first.
When the car is parked on the
ramp, the car may move
downwards slightly when the
brake pedal is released. Before
shifting the transmission to park
position, take up the hand brake
to avoid applying pressure on
the parking mechanism in the
transmission when the car
moves, so that the lever can shift
from the park position easily
when you want to drive the car.

Ramp start
To protect the DCT transmission,
please use the hand brake to assist
the start on steep ramp.
Special environment
In case of downhill, bend, or mountain
road, we recommend using the
manual mode, and shift to lower
position in order to take full advantage
of engine braking.
Friendly Tips
If the car is frequently started or

drives at "low speed", or start and
stop with the traffic for a long time,
it may result in overheating of the
DCT transmission clutch.
If the clutch of DCT transmission is
overheated, the instrument will
display the alarm. In this case, the
transmission control module will
disconnect the clutch to protect it from
damage, causing the car can not
drive. If such phenomenon occurs,
step on the brake pedal to stop a few
minutes, and drive when the
transmission cools down.
