This symbol indicates that

this section contains relevant information

on how to avoid the possibility of personal

injury and serious damage to the vehicle

Warning Symbols on Vehicle

It indicates that you should consult the

relevant section of this Owner’s Manual

before you take any action.

Environmental Protection

We should take our liability in

enviromental protection. To

achieve this object, please use your

vehicle and handle discarded articles for

cleaning and lubricant properly. This

manual displays all these information in

tree structure.

Protection system for safe
driving

At present, traffic accident is not

avoidable. However, advanced technology

can be utilized to reduce traffic accident.

For instance, your vehicle is equipped

with front and rear collision absorbing

area,in addition,lateral side of your vehicle

is equipped with crosswise collision

protection area.

The advanced airbags protecting system

will protect you in the event of severe

frontal impact. The safe seat can reduce

the tendency to slide under seat belt. All

protection equipment is well designed and

Introduction

can reduce injuries and damages.

Drive carfully and keep alert. Do not use

these protection equipments unnecessarily.

Please read the chapters

related to airbages. Any improper

use of airbags might cause injury.

Extreme danger! Do not use

rear-facing baby seat in any seat

where front airbags is installed.

Electronic device which
providing safety

In order to protect your safety, advanced

electronic control system is installed in

your vehicle.

Using portable cellular

phone with external antenna or

other electronic equipment will

produce electromagnetic field that

might cause some vehicle’s electrical

system failure. Please follow

manufacturer’s instruction.

Checking your vehicle
before us

Ÿ

Check the air-tightness of the lower

part of vehicle body including:

universal joint cover, steering wheel

cover, base plate, brake system,

clutch system and wheels

Ÿ

Check the following liquid level:

Engine coolant level

Washer fluid level

Engine oil level

Transmission oil

Power steering oil

Brake fluid level

Ÿ

Check battery’s voltage

Ÿ

Check tire pressure of each wheel

Ÿ

Check connetion and tightness of

each part, especial for transmission,

steering, brakes, suspension and

wheels.

Introduction

7

Ÿ

Check installation status of tire valve,

wheelhouse and fuse.

Ÿ

Check clean status of vehicle body,

including paint, interior decorations

and glasses.

Ÿ

Check clean status of internal room,

including seat cushion, interior trims,

rug and mat.

Ÿ

Check window washer system.

Ÿ

Check electronic equipment, switch,

display and other control system.

Ÿ

Check working status of engine,

gearbox and generator.

Ÿ

Check working status of brakes and

transmission system to see if they are

in good condition.

Ÿ

Check onboard tool kits and

document to see if they are ready for

use.

Break-in period

Due to mismacthining and misassembling,

the frictional resistance of transmission

part is always much greater in break-in

period than normal period. Proper use in

break-in period can extend service life,

increase stability and provide potential

economy. Therefore, the following

break-in rules must be complied with.

Break-in rules for the first
1000 km:

Ÿ

Do not drive at maximum speed.

Ÿ

Do not drive over 100km/h.

Ÿ

Do not use full throttle for any gear.

Break-in rules for the first
1000 km to 1500 km:

Ÿ

Increase your engine speed gradually

and drive at permitted maximum

speed

After break-in period:

The maximum speed is 6000 r/min for

short-time engine running. You must shift

up a gear when the needle of speed meter

Introduction

reaches red zone.

Maximum speed for each gear:

    Gear  1                      45  km/h

    Gear  2                    80  km/h

    Gear  3                    115  km/h

  Gear 4           155 km/h

  Gear 5           195 km/h

Avoid your engine running at

very high speed. Timely

shift-up is in favor of saving gasoline,

reducing engine noice and also is helpful

for protecting environment.

Do not operate your engine at very low

speed. Please shift down a gear when

engine is working strenuously.

Suggested rotational speed in manual only

applies to the engine working under

normal temperature. Do not operate at

maximum speed in any gear when engine

is cold.

New tires do not achieve their full traction

potential at the begining. Therefore,

break-in period is also necessary for new

tires. You should drive slowly with extra

caution during the first 100km.

Break-in period is also necessary for new

friction disc of the brake. During initial

200 km, the brake disc has not yet

achieved the optimum surface friction. In

this period, you can increase brake pedal

force if brake does not work as you expect.

Replacement of brake disc each time also

applies to this case.

You must screw wheel nuts to the correct

torque. The correct torque value refers to

“Technical data and specification” chapter

in this Owner Manual. You also need to

screw wheel nuts again if you ever

replaced your wheel or released your

wheel nuts after driving 800 km.

Wish you have an enjoyable and safe
driving experience with your Cherry.
