10.Driving main points
Even though the vehicle is equipped with safety device, and you are safe to drive, the
vehicle cannot guarantee that no accident or injury could possibly occur. It is
recommended to give special attention to the following suggestions. It will be better to
protect yourself and others.
(a) Carefully driving: Pay attention to the traffic, road and weather conditions, and keep
sufficient distance from any car in front of you.
(b) When changing lanes, pay attention to observe the rear mirror and use of the turn
signals.
(c) Observe the action and turn signals of other vehicles while driving, and pay attention
to pedestrians, and people who ride bicycles.
(d) When there is an emergency stop, press the hazard warning light switch, turn on the
hazard warning lights.
(e) Drive slowly on wet roads. If the water depth exceeds the height of wheel rim, don’t
drive across.
(f) Accelerate slowly and steadily and try to avoid any unnecessary rush or slamming
the brake. Keep the same speed as far as possible.
(g) Always obey the traffic regulations and be a good, quick, response driver.
(h) Be careful when turning. Try to avoid an emergency turn or sudden movement.
Improper operation could lead to you losing control of the vehicle or possible rollover.
(i) In the rollover accident, people who are not wearing safety are more likely to sustain
a severe injury than those who wear a safety belt. So, make sure you and all passengers
fasten safety belt correctly before driving.
(j) Check the status of the battery and cable. In wintry weather conditions, the energy of
the battery will reduce.
(k) Choose washing liquid suitable for winter use if you live in a colder climate.
(l) Driving if drinking and/or taking medicine:
Taking certain medicines can cause a person to feel sleepy, thereby affecting the
safety driving. Please consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking certain
medicines to determine if any could cause drowsiness.

11. Vehicle inspection
Here are a few suggestions for saving maintenance cost and reducing harmful emissions:
(a) Vehicle maintenance: Be sure to inspect and maintain regular preventative
maintenance.
(b) Tires
Regularly check if the tires to be sure they appear normal. At the same time check for any
bulge, scratch defect, abnormal wear, or other defects. Once found, please immediately
replace tires, and check the cause of abnormal wear. Meanwhile, you should also check
the tire pressure frequently to be sure they are within the normal range.
(c) Surplus load
Don't load too much. The weight of vehicle, especially driving in the city, its steady state
could directly affect the vehicle's stability.
(d) Electrical installations
Strictly limit working hours of electrical equipment. The front light, wiper, and Air
Conditioning/heating device ventilator require a lot of power and can reduce the continued
mileage.
(e) Driving
Keep an even speed with economic speed in driving. It can guarantee the lowest power
consumption.
12. Winter tires
If you decide to use winter tires, all four wheels are required to use the matching
specifications with the vehicles, and be sure to use the specified tire pressure.
(1) Due to its special characteristics, long time driving, even under the normal
environmental conditions, the performance of these winter tires will be lower than normal
equipped tire performance. Thorough tests have proved this. Therefore, it is recommended
to limit the use of winter tires.
Assemble the same tire (brand and appearance) to the wheels to ensure the optimal
safety operation, braking, and operability. Reminder: You can't reverse the direction of the
tire rotation, and four tires must be replaced at the same time.
(2) Tire anti-slip chain. The use of tire anti-slip chains depends on the different
current standards of different countries. Snow anti-slip chain should be installed on the
driving wheel (rear). The vehicle speed cannot exceed 15 MPH or the maximum speed
recommended by anti-slip chain provider.
