mode after interior air cools off.

Sensor

The sunshine sensor monitors the quan鄄
tity of sunshine radiation and performs
necessary adjustment on temperature,
fan speed and air delivery system bas鄄
ing on this information to maintain the
selected temperature.

Friendly Tips

As the air conditioning system may re鄄
move moisture, when the engine is
idling or the vehicle is running at low
speed, the indicated temperature may
be impacted by heat of road surface or
engine. Therefore, the indicated temper鄄
ature is accurate only when vehicle
speed exceeds 40km/h.

-04

Friendly Tips

Don't cover the sunshine sensor near
the front windscreen at middle of the
instrument panel, otherwise, the system
cannot operate normally.

There is an interior temperature sensor
in the lower left side plate of instrument
desk, which reads the interior air tem鄄
perature and helps to establish ventila鄄
tion system demand under AUTO mode.

Demisting and defrosting
The fog on inside surface of window is
caused by the condensation of exces鄄
sive moisture on the cool window glass.
This can be relieved to the most extent
if temperature control system is used
correctly. Two modes can be used to
demist and defrost the front windscreen.
Demisting mode allows window demist鄄
ing and desiccation while defrosting
mode allows faster demisting or de鄄
frosting of front windscreen.

(Demisting mode): this mode will

allow most air to flow to the front wind鄄
screen and floor air outlet. Little airflow
will be guided to the external air outlet
of side window. Perform the following
operation to quicken side window
demisting.

1. Select double-function mode.
2. Select the maximum fan speed.
3. Press A/C button.
4. Select temperature.

(Defrosting mode): this mode will

allow the air to flow to the external air
outlet of front windscreen and side win鄄
dow. Perform the following operation to
quicken the front windscreen defrosting:
1. Select defrosting mode.
2. Select the maximum temperature.
3. Select the maximum fan speed.
Start your vehicle after all windows are
clear.
To cancel defrosting function, turn the
mode control knob or push the AUTO
button. If you push the AUTO button, the

Reverse radar system

The reverse radar determines whether
there is obstacle in the reverse direction
of vehicle and indicates the distance
from the nearest obstacle according to
ultrasonic ranging principle and com鄄
puter data fuzzy processing technology.
When reverse gear is engaged, the re鄄
verse gear switch opens and reversing
light is on. After receiving the reversing
signal, the controller will control the ul鄄
trasonic sensor (four probes) to release
ultrasonic signal. When the ultrasonic
sensor receives ultrasonic echoed sig鄄
nal, it sends this echoed signal to the
controller, which will determine whether
there is obstacle within the sensing dis鄄
tance and the distance to the nearest

obstacle through analysis processing.
Then the buzzer will send out rings at
different frequencies according to the
different distance range to indicate the
obstacle distance.
The reverse radar starts working when
the reverse gear is engaged. At this mo鄄
ment, the reverse radar will perform a

quick self-inspection on overall system
to ensure all components work normally.
If some system operation is abnormal or
overall system operates abnormally, the
buzzer will ring for warning. For the
self -inspection results, refer to the fol鄄
lowing table.

normal running of vehicle. Don't turn the
key to START position during engine
running, otherwise, the starting motor
will be damaged.

Engine start

Before engine start
Ensure there is no obstacle around the
vehicle.
Ensure all windows and lamps are
clean.
Check tyre conditions and confirm
whether inflation pressure is proper and
whether there foreign body.
Adjust the seat head restraint and exte鄄
rior and interior back mirrors.
Wear the safety belt and require all
passengers wear the safety belt as well.
Check whether the warning lamp and in鄄
dicator lamp on the instrument panel are
normal when turning the key to ON posi鄄
tion.

After brake is wet
The brake components may get wet af鄄
ter vehicle passing through water or
vehicle washing.
To restore the normal brake perfor鄄
mance:
1. Check whether there is coming vehi鄄
cle rearward.
2. Keep safe driving speed and ensure
there is sufficient space behind and be鄄
side the vehicle.
3. Step the brake intermittently with care
until normal performance is restored.
Brake overheating
When you drive your vehicle on the long
steep slope downward, excessive
braking may result in temporary brake
overheating. Engage lower gear upon
downslope driving and don't apply the

brake continuously.
For details, refer to Engine Braking be鄄
low in this chapter.

Notes

When the vehicle passes through water
or is washed, or the brake is exces鄄
sively applied on long steep slope, the
brake will lose braking capacity tem鄄
porarily. This might be caused by brake
component wetting or overheating.
In case the braking capacity loses te-
mporarily due to overheating:
淫 Engage lower gear upon downslo-
pe driving. Refer to Engine Braking.

Notes

Stepping of brake pedal will be harder
and braking length will increase if one
circuit is at fault.
If brake pedal travel increases, it indi鄄
cates the brake might require service.
Please have the brake system checked
and repaired by after service center
specially designated by JAC immedi鄄
ately.

Friendly Tips

Don't put your feet on the brake pedal
during driving.
Otherwise, it will accelerate abrasion of
brake components. In addition, it will re鄄
sult in brake overheating, prolong brak鄄
ing length and reduce safety conse鄄
quently.

MO TORS

Vehicle driving

Instruction transmission

To shift the gear, please depress the
clutch pedal completely, turn the gear
shift lever to required gear and release
the clutch slowly.
To shift to reverse gear, you must stop
your vehicle, depress the clutch and
shift the gear shift lever from neutral
gear to reverse gear (R).

Brake

The brake system is designed to brake
the vehicle under different driving condi鄄
tions.
The front and rear wheels of this vehicle
adopt disk brake with double -circuit
brake system.
In the event of failure of one brake cir鄄
cuit, the other circuit will stop the vehi鄄
cle, however, the braking length will in鄄
crease and stepping of brake pedal will
require more force.

Friendly Tips

淫 Please stop your vehicle com鄄
pletely before shifting between drive
gear and reverse gear.
淫 Please stop your vehicle complete鄄
ly and depress the clutch to the end be鄄
fore shifting drive gear to reverse gear.
淫 After depressing the clutch com鄄
pletely, wait for a moment and then en鄄
gage the reverse gear.
淫 Shifting between drive gear and
reverse gear during vehicle running
may damage the transmission.
Correct operation may prevent gear
abrasion and prolong the lifetime of
transmission.
淫 If gear shifting is not required
during driving, please don't put your
feet on the clutch pedal.
Otherwise, it will accelerate clutch abrasion.

Leaving vehicle with engine running

In case you have to leave your vehicle
with engine running, please confirm the
parking brake has been tensioned and
the neutral gear is engaged before leav鄄
ing.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
Anti -lock braking system is an ad鄄
vanced electronic brake system which
helps to prevent vehicle sliding and
out-of-control. This system enables you
to steer clear of obstacle upon hard
braking and provides maximum braking
ability on slipping road surface.
When the ignition switch is connected,
the ABS warning lamp will be on for
about 3s. If the ABS warning lamp is not
off or it's on during driving, it indicates
the ABS is at fault.
Please consult the after service center
specially designated by JAC immedi鄄
ately. Please refer to the 野ABS冶 warn鄄
ing. The ABS system will monitor each
wheel speed during braking. If one
wheel tends to be blocked, the com鄄

puter will control the brakes of the two
front wheels and rear wheels respec鄄
tively. When the ABS is working, the
brake pedal will present slight vibration
accompanied with noise generally.

Though the brake system is equipped
ABS, please don't step the brake pedal
frequently under any road conditions.
Step the brake pedal to the end and
hold it to enable the ABS to work.

Notes

It's very dangerous if you leave the ve鄄
hicle with engine running. If the parking
brake is tensioned while the gear shift
lever is not engaged to neutral gear
completely, the vehicle may move sud鄄
denly. Furthermore, if you don't shut
down the engine after leaving the vehi鄄
cle, it will cause overheating of engine
and even initiate fire get you or other
injured. Please shut down the engine
when you leave the vehicle.

Notes

ABS neither changes the time required
by brake engagement nor shortens the
braking length absolutely. Please keep
sufficient braking length even if your ve鄄
hicle is equipped with ABS.

MO TORS

Parking brake

Parking brake lever is between the front
seats.
To tension the parking brake, please
step the brake pedal and pull the park鄄
ing brake level up. If the ignition switch
is connected, the brake system warning
lamp will be on. See Brake System
Warning Lamp in Chapter 3.

To release the parking brake system,
step the brake pedal and pull the park鄄
ing brake level up until the release but鄄
ton can be pressed. Press the release
button and lower the parking brake
lever to the end at the same time.

1. Step the brake pedal and tension the
parking brake.
2. Engage the neutral gear.
3. Turn the ignition key to LOCK position.
4. Pull the key out and carry it by your鄄
self.

Friendly Tips

Don't drive your vehicle with parking
brake not released, otherwise it will re鄄
sult in brake system overheating and
cause undue abrasion or damage of
brake system parts. Check whether the
parking brake is completely released
and the brake warning lamp is off be鄄
fore driving.

Notes

It's very dangerous to get off the vehi鄄
cle when the parking brake is applied
while the gear shift lever is not en鄄
gaged to parking gear, since the vehi鄄
cle may move suddenly. If you leave
the vehicle with engine running, the
vehicle may move suddenly, which may
result in injury of you or others. To pre鄄
vent the vehicle moving, please ob鄄
serve the following procedures even if
the vehicle is on flat road surface.

Suggestion on economic driving

Economical efficiency of fuel mainly de鄄
pends on your driving style.
Driving mode, running road and driving
time impact the running distance every
litre of fuel.
To achieve the best fuel economical effi鄄
ciency:
淫 Increase the speed slowly
淫 Avoid unnecessary idling.
淫 Keep engine adjustment proper.
淫 Don't have the engine overspeed.
淫 Use air conditioner only when nec鄄
essary.
淫 Slow down on uneven road.
淫 Keep the tyre inflation pressure in
accordance with recommended value.

淫 Keep safe distance with other vehi鄄
cles to avoid collision in the case of e鄄
mergency braking and reduce abrasion
of braking filler block and lining.
淫 Don't carry unnecessary heavy
goods.
淫 Don't put your feet on the brake
pedal during driving.
Observe the vehicle specification de鄄
scribed in vehicle maintenance instruc鄄
tion and this instruction.

MO TORS

Using anti-lock function
Step the brake pedal firmly other than
stab braking to allow the anti-lock sys鄄
tem to work. You may feel slight pulsa鄄
tion or hear some noise, which are nor鄄
mal phenomenon.
Braking in the case of emergency
You can perform steering and braking
at the same time with the help of anti-
lock braking system. In most cases,
even the best braking effect is not bet鄄
ter than steering.

Engine braking
Generate braking effect through engine
compression during downslope driving:
In the case of instruction transmission,
please downshift in turn.

Stopping vehicle
To stop your vehicle on the slop, please
tension the parking brake or step the
brake pedal. Don't try to hold your vehi鄄
cle on the slope through stepping the
throttle pedal.
If the vehicle shall stop for a long time,
e.g., in the case of traffic jam or passing
through railway crossing, please shut
down the engine.
To park your vehicle, please engage the
gear selecting lever, apply parking
brake and pull the key out from the igni鄄
tion switch.

Notes

If the brake system and ABS warning
lamps are on at the same time, it indi鄄
cates the brake system is at fault.
Please have the system checked by the
after service center specially designat鄄
ed by JAC immediately.

Friendly Tips

Using the engine compression braking
effect during downslope driving may
prolong lifetime of brake.

Notes

In the case of instruction transmission,
don't downshift two gears in one time.
Otherwise, the transmission may be
damaged and result in vehicle out-of-
control and human injury.
