1. Important safety precautions
1. Important safety precautions
◆Be sure to fasten the seat belt correctly
The seat belt is the best protection device in the event of a
collision. Airbags are only designed as auxiliaries, rather than
replacements, of the seat belts, so even if the vehicle is equipped
with airbags, make sure that you and the passengers always
fasten the seat belts correctly.
◆Do not leave children in an unattended vehicle
Do not leave children in an unattended vehicle, as injury or even
death may occur if they trigger a control device accidentally, or
when the vehicle is moved accidentally and collided with other
objects due to their mis-operation, and besides, the temperature
inside the vehicle may reach an extreme condition, depending on
the ambient temperature.
◆Protect all children
Children aged 12 or under should be properly restrained in the
rear seats rather than the front seats. Child safety seats shall be
used for infants and toddlers; and child safety seats and three-
point seat belts shall be used for older children.
◆Beware of danger of airbag
Airbags can save lives, but they can also cause serious or
fatal injuries to occupants who are too close to the airbags or
improperly restrained.
Airbags pose the greatest risk to infants, toddlers and short adults,
so please follow all instructions and warnings in this manual.
◆Never drink and drive
Drinking alcohol, even a little, will reduce your response capability,
and your reaction time after drinking will become longer, so
drinking and driving is strictly prohibited.
◆During driving, please abide by the road traffic safety
laws and yield to pedestrians.
◆Be sure to pay attention to driving safety
Traffic accident will occur if you are busy answering the phone
or handling other things so that you can not pay attention to road
conditions, other traffics and pedestrians during driving. Please
avoid distraction during driving.
◆Control speed
Excessive speed is one of the main causes of traffic accidents.
The faster the speed is, the greater the risk will be. Therefore,
please choose the appropriate speed for safe driving according to
the actual road conditions.
◆Regular maintenance
Tire burst or mechanical failure is very dangerous. In order to
reduce the possibility of such problems, please check the tire
pressure and status frequently, and carry out regular maintenance

to record data related to vehicle dynamic control and safety systems
in a short period of time. However, depending on the severity and type
of collision, no data may be recorded or the recorded data may be
overwritten by new data.
The data specially recorded by the EDR of this vehicle include:

These data help better understanding the situation in the event of a
collision and personal injury, and are used to assist accident analysis.
NOTE
The EDR will record data only when a certain degree of collision
occurs to the vehicle; EDR will not record data during normal
driving.
