braking pedal every now and then to
resume the braking performance as
soon as possible.
When running on the ice or snow
road, run with steady speed. Do not
take emergency braking and not turn
the steering wheel fiercely to avoid
the danger of skidding. Keep long
safety distance from the foregoing
vehicle. When running in heavy rain,
drive the vehicle more carefully to
avoid decreasing the braking perfor鄄
mance of the brake because of
moist.
Swerve
Swerve of the vehicle produces cen鄄
trifugal force which can be bigger
when the vehicle speed becomes
higher. The force can bring turning
over in the transverse direction in
serious condition. Therefore, at the
50 耀100 meters position before turn鄄
ing the vehicle, you should ring the
horn尧 turn on the turning lamp and
reduce the vehicle speed. When
running on the freezing and muddy
road or in the weather of heavy rain尧
fog尧 wind尧 sand, reduce the vehicle
speed to less than 10 km/h, swerve
the vehicle slowly alongside the right
side of the road. When swerving, turn
the steering wheel uniformly accord鄄
ing to the situation of road, the
swerving track should be transited
smoothly, the turning motion should
not be too great or too small. Do not
turn or return the steering wheel sud鄄
denly. Try your best to avoid taking
braking operation while turning the
steering wheel, especially emergen鄄
cy braking.
When steering, if find skidding of
front wheels, put up the accelerator
pedal and turn the steering wheel in
the contrary direction; if find skidding
of the rear wheels, turn the steering
wheel properly along the skidding
direction, and after the skidding
stops, correct the running direction.
Turning around
When turning around for 180毅, select
the square尧large -scale crossing or
flat broad road which have little traf鄄
fic flux and turn around the vehicle at
a time along the running direction. At
the 50耀100 meters position in front of
the turning spot, reduce the vehicle

speed, shift into low gear and send
out the turning around signal.
When turning around with running
forwards and backwards, first send
out the turning around signal, reduce
the vehicle speed and run towards
the right side of road. When ap鄄
proaching the preset spot for turning
around, observe the situation of road,
turn the steering wheel to the left ex鄄
treme position rapidly and let the ve鄄
hicle running to the left side of road
slowly. When approaching the road鄄
side, return the steering wheel
rapidly. After observing the situation
behind the vehicle, start and turn
around the vehicle, turn the steering
wheel to the right extreme position at
the same time. When approaching
the roadside, return the steering
wheel rapidly and stop the vehicle. If
the turning around operation can not
be done once time, repeat the above
operations.
Backing
The operation of shifting into reverse
gear or shifting from reverse gear to
onward gear can be done after the
vehicle is stopped completely. After
shifting into the reverse gear, the
back -up lamp lights. The vehicle
speed must be less than 5 km/h
when backing. If the driver can not
discern the situation behind the ve鄄
hicle because the vehicle is loading
or other reasons, the backing oper鄄
ation must be commanded by one
person who is outside the vehicle.
Do not back the vehicle blindly.
Parking of the vehicle and stop of the
engine
When prepare for parking the vehi鄄
cle, the vehicle speed reduces or the
vehicle slides out of gear and indi鄄
cates with turning lamp. After the ve鄄
hicle parked, pull up the parking
brake lever. If the vehicle must be
parked on the road for some rea鄄
sons, park the vehicle near the road鄄
side and not park the vehicle on the
running lane. Under the exceptional
condition like breaking down in the
middle of the road, two caution
plates should be placed on the posi鄄
tion of 200 meters in front and be鄄
hind of the vehicle.
Avoid parking on the ramp. If the
