Introduction
New Vehicle Inspection
Before delivering the vehicle to you, the
dealer of Chery Company has already
performed the vehicle inspection in
accordance with the regulations of Chery
Automobile Co., Ltd.
The dealer of Chery Company should fill
in the vehicle delivery date in the "Vehicle
Delivery Inspection Certificate‖ column of
this manual and seal with the stamp of
dealing agency.
The dealer should verify the entire vehicle
performance and introduce the operation
knowledge of the vehicle against the
―Chery Vehicle Sale & Delivery Card‖
that to be dually signed by the salesman
and the user.
Run in of New Vehicle
Due to the manufacture and assembling
deviations, the frication resistances
between the moving components of the
new vehicle at the initial stage of
operation will be much greater than the
ones in normal condition. The run in
effects of the vehicle at the initial stage of
operation will exert great influence on the
use lifetime, working reliability and
economy of the vehicle, therefore, the use
of the new vehicle must abide by the run
in regulations strictly.
Run in Regulation within 1,000km
Full speed driving is absolutely
prohibited;
Generally, do not drive the vehicle at
the speed above 100 km/h;
Avoid driving at the top speed at
whichever gear.
Run in Regulation from 1,000km
to 1,500km
Increase to the top speed gradually or
drive at the allowable max engine
speed.
Notice during Run in Period:
For the driving of vehicles with engine
tachometer, the allowed short period top
engine speed is 6,000r/min. During the
manual gearshift, make sure to shift to the
next high gear when the engine tachometer
indicator reaches red indication area at the
latest. Avoid the running of engine at
unnecessary high speed. The
earliest shift to high gear will help
save the fuel, reduce the working noise as
well as diminish the environmental
pollution.
The engine speed should not be excessive
low during driving. Shift to the low gear
when the engine runs toughly.
In cold state, you don’t run the engine at
top speed at neutral gear or any other drive
gear.

Introduction
The new tires don’t have the best adhesion
at the beginning of use; therefore, the tires
also need run in. The vehicle speed should
be relatively low during the first 100km
driving and the driving should be
extremely careful.
The new brake friction lining also needs
run in, since the brake doesn't have ideal
friction force during the first 200km
driving. During this period the brake
effects are a little poor, therefore the
pressure on brake pedal may be reasonably
increased. Such condition is also
applicable each time the friction lining is
replaced with a new one.
When the new vehicle traveled for 800km,
the wheel nuts must be re-tightened to the
specified torque. Please refer to the
chapter ―Capability and Specification
Parameters‖of this manual for correct
torque values. Also, if the wheel has been
replaced or the wheel nuts have been
loosened, then the wheel nuts should be
re-tightened in accordance with the
specified torque after traveling for 800km.
“One-To-One” Service
In order to provide you with better service
and vehicle use, the dealer of Chery
Company will appoint one service
consultant to serve you at the purchase of
your vehicle. In case of any problems
during your vehicle use, you may contact

Warning Device
Warning device indicates operating status
of driver’s car and whether the vehicle has
some problems that possibly result in
serious damages or injuries. If the car fails
in some system function, the warning
indicator concerned will light up or blink.
When ignition switch is turned on, the
majority warning indicators should be ON
for a short period, indicating system
self-check underway. If some warning
indicator remains OFF, please turn to
Chery chartered service station for help. If
some warning indicator keeps ON or
blinking after the engine is started, please
turn to Chery chartered service station
immediately for examination and repairs
of relevant systems.
Low fuel level warning
indicator
When oil level of fuel tank is short of 10
liters, the indicator will be immediately
ON for alarming, while fuel gauge pointer
will point to the red alarm scale mark.
When the indicator is ON, please replenish
fuel.
ABS warning indicator
When ignition switch is turned on, the
indicator will be ON for a short period,
and the ABS system will have a self-check
to determine if the system functions well.
If the indicator keeps ON or blinking after
the ignition switch is turned on or during
the journey, it suggests that the ABS
system is being impaired by fault(s).
However, the vehicle still functions in
conventional braking (without ABS),
unless otherwise the braking system alarm
lamp also lights up. In such a case, turn to
Chery chartered service station for
examination & repairs as early as possible;
but you should drive prudently, avoiding
driving at a high speed. Refer to the
Section ―Braking‖ for important points for
attention related to use of the ABS system.
Parking braking warning
indicator
The indicator functions only when ignition
switch is turned on.
The indicator will keep ON if the parking
brake lever is pulled up.
Braking system warning
indicator
When ignition switch is turned on and the
indicator is ON, it is suggested that the
brake fluid level is so low that more brake
fluid should be filled to raise the level
between MIN mark and MAX mark.
Please ask Chery chartered service station
to check the system.

Instrument Panel
If the braking system
warning indicator lights up
during running, it is shown
that one of the dual braking loop has
a fault. In such a case, drive
prudently. Turn to Chery chartered
service station nearby immediately
for examination & repair by
professionals. In consideration of
serious degrading of braking
performance and prolonged braking
distance, a much longer distance
should be kept from the car in the
front during running. Press the
pedal hard in braking according to
the situation.
If ABS warning indicator and
braking system warning indicator
keep ON simultaneously, stop your
car immediately with safety assured.
Please put the car at Chery
chartered service station for
inspection of the braking system.
Door Open warning
indicator
When ignition switch is turned on, the
indicator will be ON if any car door fails
to be closed rightly.
Parking/position indicator
(green)
The indicator will be ON when the
position indicator lights up.
Seat belt warning indicator
When ignition switch is turned on, the
warning indicator will be ON to prompt
driver to well fasten the safety belt if the
driver doesn’t have his safety belt
fastened.
Engine fault indicator
When ignition switch is turned on, the
warning indicator will be ON to show that
electrical control system of engine is under
self-check. If the system has no faults, the
indicator shall be OFF after the engine is
started.
If during running, the indicator is ON, it is
shown that the electrical control system of
engine has a fault. Please turn to Chery
chartered service station for examination
& repair as quickly as possible.
