JAC S1. Service Manual

(9) If a front or rear wheel is trapped
in a pit, never roughly turn the wheel,
as this may damage the all wheel
drive system.

Limited-slip differential (if in鄄
stalled)

The limited-slip differential controls on鄄
ly the rear wheels. The functions of the
limited-slip differential are as follows:
Similar to an ordinary differential, it
can make the speed of wheels on
two sides different at turning. A limit鄄
ed-slip differential differs from an
ordinary one in that if the driving
force for the wheel on one side is
lost, it can provide more driving force
to the rear wheel on the other side.

Use the brake correctly

Caution院
音 When an all wheel drive vehi鄄
cle is lifted by a lifting device,
never start the engine or turn the
wheel. Contacting a rotating
wheel with the ground is dan鄄
gerous and may result in dam鄄
age to the vehicle.
音 If the front or rear wheel
starts to rotate in the pit, the ac鄄
celerator pedal may be stepped
on. But running the engine at
high speed for long time should
be avoided, as this may dam鄄
age the all wheel drive system.

Warning院

音 Avoid sharp turning.
音 Never turn the steering wheel
at high speed.
音 Loss of control when driving
on expressway may lead to
overturning
音 In case of serious collision,
passengers not with safety belts
fastened will suffer higher death
rate than those with safety belts
fastened.
音 The usual cause of loss of
control is disengaging of two or
more wheels or excessive turn鄄
ing by the driver.
音 Never turn sharply for leaving
the express lane. Reduce the
speed before changing lanes.

Warning院

音 Never load goods higher than

音 Never run the vehicle down
slope before setting the gear.
Keep the gear and use the brake
to run at reduced speed. Use a low
gear to get better braking effect.
音 Never keep the braking pedal
stepped on over long time, and
do not rest your foot on the brak鄄
ing pedal over long time during
driving. This will overheat the en鄄

Drive economically
Drive as instructed below and you
can save fuel and drive longer dis鄄
tance.
音 Run the vehicle steadily. Acceler鄄
ate the vehicle slowly after starting.
Never start or change throttle harsh鄄
ly. Drive at steady speed. Never race
against a traffic light. Adjust the
speed to the traffic rules to avoid
frequent change of speed. Avoid
blocking the road and keep space
between vehicles.
音 Run your vehicle at ordinary
speed. The higher speed, the more
fuel consumed. Run at ordinary
speed except on expressway. This is
the best method to save fuel.
音 Unless necessary, do not keep

your foot on the braking pedal during
driving, as this will cause unneces鄄
sary wearing and even damage to
the brake and increased fuel con鄄
sumption.
音 Adjust the tire pressure to the val鄄
ue recommended by manufacturer.
This can help extend the service life
of tires and get the optimum fuel
consumption.
音 Excessive rolling of wheels when
not properly positioned will result in
rapid wearing of tires and waste of
fuel.
音 To save fuel and reduce mainte鄄
nance cost, have the vehicle ser鄄
viced as per the maintenance sched鄄
ule in the following section. The ve鄄
hicle will need more completion

maintenance when it often runs on
roads other than normal highway.
音 Clean the vehicle frequent and
keep it clean. Pay special attention to
thoroughly remove the deposited
mud, dirt or ice. Such things will in鄄
crease the weight of your vehicle,
consume more fuel or cause corro鄄
sion.
音 Never run the vehicle with unnec鄄
essary objects loaded. A lighter ve鄄
hicle consumes less fuel.
音 Never keep the engine idling over
long time. During wait time (exclud鄄
ing wait at red light), turn off the en鄄
gine and start the engine again when
running the vehicle.
音 Avoid idling for warm-up purpose
over long time. The vehicle can be

run just when the engine is running
smoothly. The warm-up time may be
longer only in cold days.
音 Never overload the engine, as this
will force the engine to rotate at ex鄄
cessively high speed. In this case,
shift to a lower gear. Running the en鄄
gine over speed will render it unable
to function normally.
音 Use the air conditioning properly.
The power for the air conditioning
system is provided by the engine,
therefore using the air conditioning in
an economic way can save fuel.

Turning

Avoid using brake or shifting gear at
turning. Except in rainy condition,
make turns at ordinary speed when鄄
ever possible. Following this sug鄄

gestion can minimize the wearing of
tires.

Driving in snow

Driving in snow may accelerate tire
wearing or cause other faults.To mini鄄
mize faults when driving in snow, fol鄄
lowing the instructions below.

Methods to deal with snow and
ice

To drive in deep snow, anti-slip tires
must be used, or chains have to be
fitted on tires. When an anti-slip tires
are to be used, those with size and
structure conforming to the tire pres鄄
sure specification must be selected.
Improper installation may affect driv鄄
ing safety. Driving at extra high
speed, sudden acceleration, emer鄄
gency braking and turning are ex鄄

tremely dangerous. Make full use of
engine braking function at decelera鄄
tion. Emergency braking on a road
with snow or ice may cause slippery.
Keep a proper space from the vehi鄄
cle in front to avoid emergency
braking. When chains are fitted, step
on the braking pedal slightly, to keep
your vehicle balanced, but this can鄄
not prevent slipping to the side.

Use high quality ethylene glycol
cooling liquid.

High quality ethylene glycol cooling
liquid should be used for the cooling
system of your vehicle. This cooling

Note院
音 Please use the tire chains
with caution.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

liquid can prevent corrosion to the
cooling system, lubricate the pump
and prevent freezing. Determine the
glycol content with reference to the
maintenance schedule in relevant
section, and perform replacement or
makeup when necessary.

Check battery and wires

Extra load will be imposed to the
battery system in winter. For methods
to check the battery and wires, refer
to relevant sections. The battery volt鄄
age should be checked by personnel
of the authorized JAC dealer or ser鄄
vice stations.

Replace engine oil "for winter"

In winter, we recommend you using
low -viscosity engine oil for winter.
For details, see relevant sections. If

you cannot determine which type of
engine oil should be used, consult a
JAC dealer.

Check spark plug and ignition
system

Refer to relevant sections for check
of spark plug, and replace it when
necessary. Check all the ignition
wires and accessories, and deter鄄
mine if there is any cracking, wearing
or damage.

Prevent lock from freezing

To thaw the frozen lock, inject into
the key hole the anti -freezing liquid
ethylene glycol. If the key hole is
covered by snow, the ice can be re鄄
moved immediately by injecting the
anti-freezing liquid. If it is frozen in鄄
side, it should be thawed with a pre-

heated key. Take care to avoid
scalding your hand when using a
pre-heated key.

Prevent freezing of window glass
cleaner

To prevent freezing of window glass
cleaner, use an anti -freezing liquid
permitted in the instruction manual.
JAC dealer can supply you with an鄄
ti-freezing liquid for glass cleaner.
Never use an anti-freezing liquid for
engine or of other types.

Prevent freezing of parking

Note院
音 The temperature range of the
key is -40益 ~ 80益. A key with
temperature over 80益 may
damage the trans-receiver.

brake

In the following cases, your parking
brake may be frozen in operating
conditions. When there is snow or ice
deposited near or around the parking
brake, and when the brake is wet, it
can be frozen. If there is the possi鄄
bility of freezing, set the shift gear to
the reverse position (manual trans鄄
mission) tentatively and block the
rear wheels to prevent rolling. Now
the parking brake can be released.

Never allow ice or snow to de鄄
posit at the bottom.

In some cases, snow and ice can
accumulate at the lower end of the
fan to prevent operation. This may
occur in winter. The bottom of the
vehicle should be checked periodi鄄

cally, and the rotating condition of
the front wheels and steering wheel
components should be determined.

Emergency devices and tools

Some emergency devices and tools
must be brought as appropriate ac鄄
cording to weather conditions, such
tools as tire chains, towing hooks
and chains, flasher, sand, spade,
jumper cable, window scrapper,
gloves, ground cloth, working cloth鄄
ing and rug must be carried at all
times.

Driving at high speed

Check before driving
1. Tires:
Regulate the tire pressure to stan鄄
dard value. Low pressure will over鄄
heat and damage tires. Avoid using

worn or damaged tires.

2. Fuel:
Engine cooling liquid and engine oil:
the fuel consumption of vehicle run鄄
ning at extra high speed will be 1.5
times that when running at normal
speed. Never forget to check the en鄄
gine cooling liquid and engine oil.
3. Driving belt
A loosened or damaged driving belt
can cause overheating of the engine.

Method to use vehicle lights

For correct operation of vehicle
lights, the headlights must be
checked and cleaned periodically.

Note院
音 Never use a tire with pres鄄
sure exceeding the max. value.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use the low beam lights when driv鄄
ing in a low visibility condition.

Towing and trailing

If you cannot determine the method of
towing, first check relevant regulations
on towing in your area before deter鄄
mine the towing method, as different
laws are applied for the personnel, ve鄄
hicle or devices used for towing in dif鄄
ferent areas. Consult the JAC dealer
for detailed procedures of towing.

Hooking

Select an appropriate hook, deter鄄
mine the accurate position of hook鄄
ing, use lateral control hook and bal鄄
ance the weight of the trailer. The
hook must be firmly fastened with
vehicles, and should be installed by
technical personnel. Never use a
disposable hook or a hook that can
only be used on the bumper.

Trailer braking system

If your trailer is provided with a brake
system, read the instructions of the
trailer brake system carefully and ob鄄
serve them, to correctly fit and oper鄄
ate this system.

Caution院
音 Never attempt to tow a vehi鄄
cle during the first 2,000km of
your vehicle, as the engine is in
run-in period. Towing may seri鄄
ously damage the engine or the
transmission.

Note院
音 If a hook is used for towing,
the vehicle should be main鄄
tained frequent as per relevant
laws and regulations.

Caution院
音 Never connect the brake of
the trailer with that of your vehi鄄
cle.
音 When towing up a steep
slope, check the engine water
temperature thermometer and
the engine for overheating. If the

Precautions after wheel replace鄄
ment

If a tire pressure meter is available,
remove the valve head and check
the pressure. If the air pressure is
low, drive the vehicle at low speed to
a nearby service station and have it
charged. If the tire pressure is too
high, adjust it to standard pressure.
After checking or adjusting the pres鄄
sure, the valve head should be re鄄
placed. Air leakage may take place if

it is not replaced. If the valve head is
lost, buy a new one and fit it imme鄄
diately. After the wheel replacement,
fasten the ruptured tire and take
back the jack, jack handle and tools.

Positions more likely to rusting
If you live in an area where it is more

likely to cause rusting of vehicle,
measures to prevent rusting are ex鄄
tremely important. Common causes
of accelerated rusting include saline
dirt on ground, dust chemicals, ma鄄
rine air and intrusion of industrial pol鄄
lutants.

Rust caused by moisture

The vehicle is likely to develop rust in
case of much moisture. For example,
high humidity can accelerate the
rusting, especially at a temperature
above freezing point. In this case,
moisture will cover the vehicle and
vaporize gradually. The cause of soil
leading to rusting of vehicle is that
soil can gradually dry up and is likely
to keep a moist state.
High temperature can also acceler鄄

ate rusting of accessories that cannot
be properly ventilated and are in a
wet state. The vehicle should be
cleaned periodically and have the
deposited soil removed. Such foreign
substance normally accumulates at
the bottom instead of the surface of
the vehicle.

Rust prevention

Do the following to prevent rusting:

Keep the vehicle clean

The best way to prevent rusting is to
keep the vehicle clean and remove
all substances that may cause rust鄄
ing.
音 If you live in an area where it is
more likely to cause rusting of vehi鄄
cle, measures to prevent rusting are
extremely important. Common caus鄄

es of accelerated rusting include
saline dirt on ground, dust chemi鄄
cals, marine air, industrial pollutants
and acid rain. You need to enhance
your measures against rusting.
音 In winter, clean the bottom of the
vehicle every month, and after the
winter, determine if the vehicle bot鄄
tom is clean.
音 When cleaning the vehicle bottom,
pay special attention to the bottom of
fan and devices difficult to identify on
profile. Foreign substances must be
thoroughly removed, and better ef鄄
fect can be achieved by wiping with
cloth than cleaning with water.
音 When cleaning the door panel,
keep the door sill and frame cross
beam drain holes open. Let moisture

to expel to prevent rusting inside.

Keep your garage dry

Never park your vehicle in a garage
with moist or poorly ventilated. Such
an environment can easily cause
rusting of your vehicle.
It will certainly result in rusting of
your vehicle and some accessories if
you wash your vehicle in the garage
or bring snow, ice and mud into the
garage. In this case, the vehicle may
got rusty even if the garage is dry.
Sufficient ventilation can completely
remove the moisture.

Keep intact painted surface and
trims

A surface with scratch should be
mended with paint applied when the
vehicle leaves the factory, to prevent

rusting. In case of metal exposure, it
is recommended to have it patched
up in a special painting shop.

Maintenance for the interior

Moisture may accumulate in the foot
pads and corrode the pads. Check
the pads periodically and determine
that they are dry. In case of trans鄄
porting fertilizer, use a special clean鄄
er or other suitable cleaning agent to
keep the pads clean. But this refers
to measures to be taken in case of
spillage or leakage of fertilizer.

Cleaning and waxing
Vehicle cleaning

Do not washing your vehicle at a
place with direct sunlight exposure
or when the vehicle body is hot.
Washing must be done at a shaded

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cool place, and be done frequently.
Dirt may produce abrasive function
and can damage the surface. Con鄄
taminated air or acid rain can dam鄄
age the painting and trims. In coastal
area where there is saline substance
on ground or chemicals in the dust,
special attention should be paid to
the maintenance of the vehicle bot鄄
tom. The dust and dirt can be re鄄
moved by lifting the vehicle. After
driving on a muddy road in winter,
determine that all dirt at the vehicle
bottom has been removed.
Use steam to clean the mud accu鄄
mulated at vehicle bottom. Refer to
the cleaning guide for vehicle and
instructions of manufacturer. Never
use soap, chemical cleaning agent

or hot water. Use clean sponge or
cloth. Never rub with excessive force
to avoid damage to accessories. For
any stain that cannot be removed
one time, wet it first, and clean it af鄄
ter a period of time. To clean wheels
with white sidewall, use a hard brush
or wire washer with soap. To clean a
plastic wheel hood, use clean
sponge or soft cloth. To clean an a鄄
luminum alloy wheel, use mild soap
or a natural cleaning agent. Never
use an abrasive cleaning agent.
Metallic surfaces should be protect鄄
ed, polished and waxed. As alu鄄
minum is likely got corroded, special
care should be taken to protect alu鄄
minum alloy wheels in winter. If the
vehicle has run on a saline road,

wash the wheels afterwards. Rinse
the wheel immediately after washing.
Soap solution dried on the surface
will leave strips. When it is mild and
the humidity is low,
rinse each part immediately after
washing to prevent strips. After rins鄄
ing, dry the vehicle with wet antelope
skin or soft and moisture absorbing
cloth. If it is not dried, a vehicle run鄄
ning with water on surface may leave
strips on it. Never crunch your vehi鄄
cle with any object as this will dam鄄
age the protection layer.Any scratch鄄
ing or denting on painted surface
should be mended with original paint
to prevent rusting. To protect the
painting and prevent rusting, clean
your vehicle at least once a month.

Rust prevention and appearance caring

Special care should be taken to re鄄
moving saline, mud and other dirt on
the mudguard.Causes to paint dam鄄
age may be tar, attachments, resin,
insect, bird excrement and other
stain dropped on the painted surface
during rapid running of the vehicle. If
such stain cannot be completely re鄄
moved with fresh water, use mild
soap. The surface must be rinsed
after washing with soap. Never let
soap solution dry up on the painted
surface.

Cleaning of stain

Do not use gasoline, powerful clean鄄
ing agent or corrosive agent, as they
may damage the protection layer.
Use dry cloth dipped with lubricating
oil or a bug and tar cleaner to re鄄

move tar. Use lukewarm water and
mild soap or vehicle cleaning agent
to remove insect or resin. If the
painted surface has lost brightness,
use a special vehicle polishing a鄄
gent.

Polishing and waxing

Wash and dry your vehicle before
polishing or waxing or applying gen鄄
eral cleaning agent or waxing agent.
Use qualified products and follow the
instructions of manufacturer.

Re-waxing

When water beads have formed on
the painted surface and extend to
large areas, it is necessary to polish
and wax the vehicle again.

Maintenance of vehicle bumper

Special preventive measures should

be taken for the bumper of JAC ve鄄
hicle, as described below:
音 Take care not to spill electrolytic
liquid or braking liquid onto the
bumper. If it takes place, wash it with
fresh water.
音 Wipe the bumper surface gently
during washing. The bumper is made
of plastics and its surface may be
damaged by wiping with excessive
force. Use lukewarm water and mild
soap or vehicle cleaning agent.
音 Never expose the bumper to high
temperature. For example, in case of
re -painting, the bumper should be
removed first, to prevent adverse ef鄄
fect of high temperature in the paint鄄
ing chamber on the bumper.

Maintenance of internal decora鄄

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tion

Internal decoration made of nylon
fabrics.
To clean such internal decoration,
first remove the dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Then, use neutral
soap solvent or cleaning agent, and
clean sponge, soft cloth and clean
water. After using these tools, wait
for several seconds, and use wet
sponge and cloth to wipe off the dirt.
If it is still not cleaned, repeat this
work until the dirt is completely
cleaned.Never use gasoline,a clean鄄
ing agent not recommended, paint
rosin oil or other unsuitable cleaning
product.

Leather internal decoration

For cleaning of leather internal deco鄄

ration, dust and dirt has to be
cleaned as with other materials. But
take care about the leather surface to
avoid damaging the leather. High
quality leather needs good caring
and periodical cleaning. Dirt can be
removed completely using soap and
clean water, and to keep a glossy
and beautiful leather surface. Use
coarse cotton cloth, mild soap and
lukewarm water, and rinse off soap
foam. After wiping with wet cloth, re鄄
move the moisture from leather sur鄄
face with soft cloth. When the leather
is dirty, do the cleaning promptly.
Oiling has been done in the leather
processing, therefore it is not neces鄄
sary to oil the leather again. Oil ap鄄
plied onto leather surface cannot

provide effective protection, and
therefore no good or bad effect. It is
not necessary to dye or bleach the
leather in any circumstances.

Clean the carpet

Use foam detergent. Before washing,
read the instructions and follow the
procedures. More dirt can be re鄄
moved with a vacuum cleaner. Make
proper foams according to the in鄄
structions of assembling. Do not add
water into it. When the carpet is
clean, this foam cleaning agent can
completely remove the dirt.

Clean the safety belts

Clean the safety belts using the rec鄄
ommended neutral soap solution for
internal decoration parts or carpet.
Follow the instructions, and do not

bleach or dye the safety belts, as
this will affect their strength.

Clean the window glass

You may use glass cleaning agent to
clan the glass. Take care when
cleaning the inside of windows, to
avoid damaging the anti-fog line on
the rear windshield.
