Start and Operation

Fuel Suggestion

Use non-plumbic gasoline with high
quality for commercial purpose. The
quality of gasoline decisively affects the
dynamic, drive performance and life of
the engine. And the additive is important
to the fuel. Please use non-plumbic
gasoline with additive of high quality. If
the octane rating is too low, it will cause
engine explosion. Chery will not be
responsible for any loss caused by
misusage of the fuel. Please use fuel with
high quality.

Notice

Do not use plumbic gasoline on the
non-plumbic cars so as to avoid any
damage to the engine and exhaust system.
The loss cause by this is not guaranteed.
To prevent unexpected fault in filling
with plumbic gasoline, the plumbic oil
pipe can not be inserted into the
non-plumbic filling cap. Chery can not
apply fuel with carbinol which will
depress the performance of the car and do
harm to the components of the fuel

system. So any damage or performance
problem of the fuel system caused by
using carbinol or carbinol contained fuel
is not guaranteed either.

Operation at overseas

If you drive Chery cars in other country,
make sure to:

l

Obey the laws and security
regulation.

l

Affirm whether there is proper fuel
provided.

When using oil tank and oil storage
containers (especially those
unprofessional filling equipments) to fill,
the storage pump and the tube must be
earthed properly for the sake of safety.
When the fuel flows under a certain
pressure, a large deal of static will
produced if the filling tube is not earthed
(especially plastic pipe)
Be advised to use earthed filling
equipments and tube. The container
should be earthed in unprofessional
filling operation.

There is no need to accelerate to start the
engine when the key is set to “III”. Loose
the key after the engine started. If the
engine can not be started, retry the above
process.

Notice

Motor can not run over 15 minutes, or it
will be damaged. If the engine still can
not be started, wait for 10 seconds and
retry it. (For those equipped with
automatic transmission, open the ignition
switch, and wait 10 seconds before retry)

Warming-up

In cold weather, let the engine run in idle
for 30 min. after starting and then drive a
distance with middle speed.

Notice

The exhaust system will be damaged
under high temperature. So the idle
running can not exceed 5 min. If the
engine failed start, just step slowly down

the accelerate panel and maintain, then
start the engine.

Operation of the Manual
Transmission

Step down the clutch completely and
move the shift joystick, and loose the
clutch after shift.

Notice

Do not shift in driving. When the car
stops completely, back-up shift can be
used to avoid any damage to the
transmission. Do not lay your foot on the
clutch panel to avoid any damage to the
clutch.

Driving Start

Put into gear after starting the engine and
loose the brake and step down the
accelerate panel slightly to start the car
gradually. If there is any difficulties in
putting into gear, accelerate a little and
shift again.

Notice:

If you want to start on a brae, you must
pull the parking brake and step slightly
down the accelerator panel, loosing the
parking brake at the same time. Do not
start the car with the hood open.

The conventional brake is designed to
satisfy the performance under all kinds of
circumstances (including fully loaded).
Your car is equipped with diagonal
crossed brake system. The front wheel is
equipped with disc brake, and the rear
wheel is equipped with drum brake.
