replaced. Inspect the brake fluid tank lid vent to ensure that there is no dirt and the path is 
unblocked. 

Maintenance for transaxle   

Auto-transmission: Check transmission fluid every 20000km or 12 mouths, replace transmission 
fluid every 60000km or 36 mouths,, 

Manual transmission: first time: 5000km replacement, every 2 years or 40000km later on; 

Inspection and rotation of tire and wheel   

Inspect whether there is abnormal tire wear or damage. To make tire wear evenly and to extend 
tire life, rotate the tire positions. If there is abnormal or premature wear, wheel alignment should 
be Inspected, and then inspect the wheels for damage. 

1.4.2.6 Tire rotation descripition   

Notes: 

If there is obviously uneven tire wear, the faults for this should be eliminated. 

When rotating the tires, it is recommended at the same time to inspect the tire and wheel assembly 
balance. 

1.  It is recommended that tire rotation be carried out when brake inspections are performed, as 

per the "maintenance schedule” outlined in the User’s Manual or when: Difference in tread 
depth between front and rear tires exceed 1.5 mm (0.08 in). 

2.  Lifting and support vehicles, refer to 1.3.1.1 lifting vehicle . 

Notes: 

Record the original position of each tire and wheel assembly in relation to the vehicle. 

3.  Remove the tire and wheel assembly, refer to 4.4.5.1 replacement of wheel. 

4.  Rotate the tire and wheel assembly as shown in the following diagrams. 

Notes: 

For " No direction of rotation" tires, carry out rotation as shown below.

5.  Install the tire and wheel assembly,

 refer to 4.4.5.1 replacement of wheel.

 

6.  Remove the safety stands. 

7. Lower 

the 

vehicle. 

8.  Check and adjust the tire inflation pressure.

1.6 Health and safety 

1.6.1 Description and operation 

1.6.1.1 Specification 

Various operations relating to vehicle maintenance and repair may affect on personal safety or 
health; part of relevant hazardous operations as well as materials and equipment are listed in the 
section; moreover, safety rules to avoid such hazards are further listed. 

This section does not include all the health and safety issues, so that all operations, procedures, 
and material handling should be carried out, provided that safety and health is to be ensured. Prior 
to the use of any product, inspect the manufacturer or supplier product instructions. 

1.6.1.2 Acids and bases 

Refer to 1.6.1.8 battery acid Fluid. 

For example, battery has a corrosive sodium carbonate, sulfuric acid. 

Batteries and other materials cleaning agent. 

Battery has irritation and/or erosion affect on the eyes, skin, nose and throat. It may cause burns in 
human body and damage to normal clothing. To avoid battery acid fluid splashing in the eyes, skin 
and clothing, always wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves and protective goggles to 
prevent inhaling acid fog. 

Be sure to be equipment washing equipment nearby, such as: eye washing bottle, shower nozzle 
and soap, etc. It is convenient to timely help somebody in trouble at any time when splashing. 
Prominently mark eye danger sign. 

1.6.1.3 Airbag 

Refer to 1.6.1.15 fire and 1.6.1.10 chemical materials. 

For highly flammable and explosive - to comply with the smoking ban. 

Airbags are installed in the steering wheel, in the front passenger seat and inside the instrument 
panel in front of the front passenger as well as the post A, post B, post C as a supplementary safety 
system. 

The airbag expander contains a gas that produces a very high temperature when igniting the 
high-energy propellant (2,500ºC/4532 ºF). 

This propellant is stored in airtight sealed components and fills the airbag when the airbag is 
deployed. It is prohibited to open airbags during maintenance, as this would lead to dangerous 
contact with the propellant. If the gas containers happen to break, wear full protective clothing 
when handling the overflow materials. 

After deploying airbags, wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the airbags. 

Deployed airbags must be handled according to the relevant local laws. 

If come into direct contact with gas derivatives, you must: 

– 

Use clean water to rinse contact position. 

– 

Call for emergency medical help as per condition 

Airbag-shall execute operation (for your own safety, please wear the safety appliance to the 
greatest extent prior to the execution of the following operation; the ignition switch of the vehicle 
must be turned to "LOCK" status when dismantling the airbag, pull up the key and disconnect the 
battery negative cable, then dismantle after waiting for 90s).
