We must shoulder our

obligatory responsibilities and

obligations in the effort of

environmental protection. It is an

important procedure to properly use a

vehicle and dispose wasted cleaning

articles as well as lubricants in accordance

with relating regulations so as to achieve

this goal. In this instruction, arboraceous

symbol is used to highlight the

above-mentioned information.



Inspection of a New
Vehicle

Prior to hand over the vehicle to you, the

dealer of Chery Automobile has already

carried out inspection in accordance with

the provision specified by Chery Company.

The dealer should fill in the date of vehicle

delivery in the “Vehicle Delivery and

Inspection Record”, and stamp his official

seal of specific dealer.

The dealer will check the performance of

an entire car in accordance with “Vehicle

Sales and Delivery Card of Chery

Automobile", and introduce common

knowledge of using the vehicle, then the

sales clerk and user sign their names to

complete the purchase.



Running-In of a New

Vehicle

Owing to machining and assembling

errors, the frictional resistance between the

moving parts of a new vehicle will be

much larger than normal condition at the

initial stage. The running-in effect of the

initial stage has considerable influences on

the vehicle’s service life, operational

reliability, and economy. So the using of a

new vehicle must strictly comply with

specifications on running-in.

Specification of Running in
Within 1,000 Km:



Full speed is absolutely

impermissible;

Brief Introduction

6



In general, it shall not exceed 100km

/ h;



Each gear shall avoid running at full

throttle.

Specification of Running in

within the Range of 1,000 - 1,500
KM:



It can gradually increase to the

maximum speed or run at the

maximum allowable speed of the

engine.

Attentions Should be Paid after
the Period of Running In:

When driving a vehicle with speed meter,

the allowable maximum transient speed is

6000 r/min. When instructionly shift the

gear, if the cursor of speedometer reaches

the red indication area, it must switch into

the adjacent high gear.

Unnecessary high speed of engine should

be avoided. Change up as soon as possible

is favorable for fuel saving, work noise

decrease as well as environm ental

pollution reduction.

However, engine speed should not be too

slow when cruise, only when the engine is

overloaded should it is necessary to shift

down.

When a vehicle is cold, no matter whether

it is on neutral position or driving on

certain gear, the engine should not work at

maximum speed.

When using a new tire, at the beginning it

has no optimal adhesive force. Hence,

running-in for first-life tire is also quite

necessary. Under such circumstance, when

driving during the first 100 km, it ought to

be relatively slow, and the driver should be

extraordinarily cautious.

Running-in for the new friction lining of

brake is also quite necessary. When

driving during the first 200 km, ideal

friction of the brake is not available. In

this phase, if the braking is comparatively

poor, the driver can conduct properly

larger pedal pressure. This action is also

app licable to the newly replaced brake

friction lining.

After 800 km of cruise, the wheel nut of a

new vehicle must be again screwed down

to specified torque. Refer to the chapter

"Specification Parameters" in this instruction

for proper torque value. Similarly, if a

Brief Introduction

wheel is replaced or a wheel nut has ever

been loosened, after 800 km of cruise, the

wheel nut should be again screwed down

according to specified torque value.



One-to-One Service

To provide better vehicle services as well

as app lication, a Chery vehicle dealer will

appoint one service consultant for you

when you purchase a car. If you have any

problems during the process of driving,

please contact your consultant, who will

provide you with high quality services.
