JAC S7. Service Manual — part 7

Vehicle control
There are three systems enable the ve鄄
hicle to run to the destination. They are
brake system, steering system and ac鄄
celeration system. At the position where
the tyre contacts the road, the three
systems must implement function.
Sometimes, when driving on the snow
land or ice surface, the requirements for
these control systems exceed the scope
of the force between the tyre and the
road, which means the vehicle may be
out of control.
Brake
The brake operation includes the sense
time and the response time.
First, the sense time decides whether to
step the brake pedal, while the re鄄
sponse time means to raise the foot and
step on the pedal.

The response time is about 3/4 second
on average, but it is an average time.
One driver's response time may be very
short, while the other one's response
time may last 2 -3 seconds. Thus, the
age, the people's state, alertness, har鄄
mony and eyesight will influence the re鄄
sponse time. The alcohol, medicine and
the depressive mood also will produce
influence. Even though the response
time is 3/4 second, and the speed of
the vehicle is 100km/h, the vehicle will
continuously run 20meters. Under the e鄄
mergent circumstance, the distance is
too long, thus, it is important to keep e鄄
nough distance from the other vehicles.
Of course, the practical brake distance
is different when the road (highway or
sandy soil road), the road state (damp,
dry, freezing), the tyre surface, the

brake state, the vehicle weight and the
brake force are different.
In order to avoid stepping the brake
pedal when unnecessary, some drivers
drives the vehicles too fast, e.g. they
step the brake suddenly after stepping
the throttle suddenly instead of keeping
pace with the vehicle stream, it is a
wrong method. The brake can not be
cooled between the continuously emer鄄
gent brake, the brake abrasion will be
accelerated if you frequently stepping
the brake suddenly. Keeping pace with
the vehicle stream and keeping a cer鄄
tain distance from the other vehicles will
reduce unnecessary brake, which can
improve the brake effect and extend the
service life of the brake.

Notes

Drunk driving is very dangerous, even
though a little alcohol will influence your
response, observation, attention and
judgment. Drunk driving may cause se鄄
vere even fatal traffic accidents, so
please do not drive the vehicle after
drinking alcohol and ride the vehicle
driven by the driver drinking the alco鄄
holic. Go home by riding the taxi; or ap鄄
point a driver who does not drink alco鄄
holic when joining the group activity.
D runk driving is forbidden, the conse鄄
quence of the drunk driving is born by
the driver themselves.

Drunk driving
Drunk driving has become the chief
reason causing the death accidents on
roads, the alcohol influences the driver
from the following four aspects:
淫 Judgment
淫 Harmony of the muscle
淫 Eyesight
淫 Attention
The police record displays, nearly half
of all the death accidents related with
the automotive are concerned with the
alcohol. On most conditions, the reason
causing the death accidents is the
drunk drivers drive the vehicles. It is es鄄
timated that, nearly half of the adults
never drink alcohol, so they never drive
the vehicles after drinking alcohol.

The medical research shows, the alco鄄
hol in people's body will worsen the in鄄
jury in the traffic accidents, especially
cause the injury to the brain, vertebra or
the heart. This means, for the people
who drink alcohol, including the drivers
or the passengers, the probability of
death or lifetime deformity in the acci鄄
dents is much higher than those who do
not drink alcohol.

Alignment after the offset track

You may find the right wheel slides
down to the shoulder of road from the
road side.
If the shoulder height is slightly lower
than the road, the wheel is easy to be
aligned. Loose the accelerating pedal,
and drive the vehicle cross the road
verge by steering on the condition that
there is no barrier. Turn the steering

wheel for 1/4 circle at most until the
right front wheel contacts the road
verge. And then drive the vehicle in line
by turning the steering wheel.

Overtaking of the vehicle
If the drivers want to overtake other ve鄄
hicles on the double -lane road, they
only need to wait for the chance, and
accelerate the speed and overtake the
front vehicles, and then return to the
right lane. There is potential danger
when overtaking other vehicles on the
double -lane road, for the overtaking
vehicles will occupy the same lane as
the head -on vehicles in several sec鄄
onds. Incorrect estimation, the missed
judgment, the instant depression or
anger may have the overtaking driver

encounter the severest traffic accidents,
which means the head-on collision.
There are a few hints about overtaking
of the vehicle.
淫 Linear drive. Observe the condi鄄
tions of the front, the two sides and the
crossroad of the road. These conditions
may influence the overtaking mode. If
the drivers can not make sure whether
they can succeed in overtaking the oth鄄
er vehicles, they should wait for the bet鄄
ter chance.
淫 Pay attention to the traffic mark,
road mark and the lane line. If there is
steering mark or crossroad mark, the
driver should delay the overtaking. The
center dashed mark usually indicates
that the driver can overtake the other
vehicles, on the premise that there is no

Steering on the emergent condition

Sometimes steering is more effective
than the brake, e.g. if you find a truck
stopping in your lane when climbing
over a ramp, or another vehicle is driv鄄
ing in, or a child came out from the
stopped vehicle and stops in front of
your vehicle, you can adopt the brake to
avoid these barriers on the premise that
you can stop the vehicle in time. But

sometimes you can not do this because
there is no enough space. Then you
need to take measures to avoid the bar鄄
riers.
On this emergent condition, your vehicle
will show its excellent performance.
First, step down the brake pedal. See "
Brake" in this section.
You'd better slow the speed if it is likely
to appear collision. And then cross over
the barrier by turning left or right ac鄄
cording to the existing space.
On this emergent condition, you need to
focus on your attention and you must be
resolute. If you grasp the position of 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock in the steering
wheel according to the proposed mode,
you can turn the steering wheel for 180
degrees but do not need to move a

hand. Your action must be very fast, the
steering must be prompt, and the wheel
must be aligned as soon as possible af鄄
ter the barrier is avoided.
In fact, you should drive cautiously and
fasten the safety belt well because this
emergent condition may appear at any
time.

-30

淫 Do not overtake the slow vehicle ex鄄
cessively fast, even though the stop
lamp is not flashed, the driver may in鄄
tend to slow down or steer the direction.
淫 If someone wants to overtake your
vehicle, please provide convenience for
the driver. You'd better turn right slightly.

Out of control

Sideslip
The vehicle may be out of control when
sideslip happens. The cautious drivers
may take proper measures according to
the existing drive condition and avoid
over speed driving according to the
driving condition, which can avoid most
sideslip phenomena. But the sideslip
may happen at any time.
There are three sideslip mode which
match with the three control systems of
the vehicle. The wheel will not rotate
when brake sideslip happens. The
cause of steering or turning sideslip is
that excessively fast speed or excessive
steering at the curved lane leads to the
tyre slip and the extinction of the steer鄄
ing force. The cause of accelerating

sideslip is that the excessive opening of
the air throttle leads to the slip of the
drive wheel.
The best way to handle the steering
sideslip is to loose the accelerating ped鄄
al.
Please remember: Any traction force
control system can only help to avoid
the accelerating sideslip. If the traction
force control system is opened, the best
way to handle the accelerating sideslip
is to loose the accelerating pedal.
If the vehicle begins to slip, loose the
accelerating pedal and implement steer鄄
ing fast towards the required direction. If
the speed of the steering is fast enough,
the vehicle can recover its linear drive
and be ready to handle the next
sideslip.

barrier on the front road. Do not cross
over the real line or the double real line
at the two sides of your vehicle, even
though there is no vehicle close to your
vehicle on the road.
淫 When waiting for the overtaking
chance, the distance from the vehicle
which intends to overtake your vehicle
can not be too short. First, excessive
short distance will narrow the scope of
the visual field, especially when follow鄄
ing the large vehicles. If the front vehi鄄
cles decelerate their speed suddenly or
stop, you will have no enough distance
to brake. Please keep proper distance
from the other vehicles.
淫 If overtaking chance appears, you
can accelerate the speed, but you still
need to stay at the right lane and do not

get close to the front vehicle. Estimate
the drive time so as to turn to another
lane in a proper chance. When there is
no barrier for overtaking, it is a good
beginning which can make up for the
lagging distance at the time you return
to the original lane. If the situations
which may have you change your over鄄
taking plan, you just need to slow down
the speed and return to the original lane
to wait for the next chance.
淫 If other vehicles queue to overtake
a vehicle at a slow speed, you need to
wait for your chance. But you should
notice whether there is any other vehicle
trying to overtake your vehicle when you
overtake the slow vehicle, and remem鄄
ber to scan backward and check the
blind spot.

Before implementing overtaking at the
right lane, you should examine the back
mirror, scan backward and start the
signal of changing lane towards the left.
When you have overtaken the other ve鄄
hicle far enough and can see the front
of the other vehicle from the back mirror
in the vehicle, start the signal of chang鄄
ing lane towards the right and return to
the right lane. Remember the back mir鄄
ror at the right side out of the vehicle is
the convex mirror, thus, the distance
from the vehicle that you have taken
over appears farer than the practical
distance.
淫 You should try to overtake a vehicle
once on the double-lane road, and you
should be cautious before continuously
overtaking the next vehicle.

The following are some small hints
about drive at night:
淫 Drive cautiously.
淫 Do not drive after drinking alcohol.
淫 Adjust the back mirror in the vehicle
in order to reduce the glare of the
headlight on the back vehicle.
淫 Owing to the low visibility, the driver
needs to slow down the speed and
keep farer distance from the other vehi鄄
cles.
淫 Drive by slowing down the speed,
especially on the highway lane, the
headlamp can only illuminate limited
road in the front.
淫 Take care of the animals when driv鄄
ing in the remote region.
淫 If the drivers feel tired, they can rest
by stopping the vehicle on the roadside.

The eyesight of anyone at night is worse
than that at daytime. As we grow up, the
difference is more evident. If a 50-year-
old driver wants to see a target at night
clearly, he will need twice lights as that
required by a 20-year-old young person.
The daytime activities will influence the
eyesight at night. E.g. if you stay under
the strong light for a long time, you'd
better wear the sunglass, so it is easy to
adapt your eyes to the light at night. But
it is unnecessary to wear the sunglasses
when driving at night, though they can
reduce the glare of the headlamp, you
can not see many objects clearly.
You may be temporarily blind when get鄄
ting close to the headlamp and it will
take you 1 -2 or several seconds to
adapt your eyes to the black environ鄄

ment. When you see the strong glare,
such as, the other driver does not turn
the high light of the headlamp to the
dim light, or the light from the headlamp
of the other vehicle is not aligned, you
should slow down the speed slightly
and avoid seeing the headlamp of the
head-on vehicle directly.
Keep the windshield and the internal
and external surface of all the glass
clean. The smudge on the glass will
worsen the glare at night. Even though
there may be accumulated dust on the
internal surface. The glare from the dirt
glass is stronger than that from the
clean glass, which may lead to repeat鄄
ed shrinkage to your pupil.
Please remember: When the turning is
conducted or the vehicle drives on the

MO TORS

Of course, if there is accumulated water,
snow, ice, sandstone or other sundries,
the traction force will be very small. For
the sake of the safety, you can slow
down the speed and adjust the drive
mode according to these road condi鄄
tions. The brake distance will be ex鄄
tended and the vehicle control will be
more restricted when driving on the
wet-skidding road, thus, it is important
to slow down the speed.
When driving on the road with small
traction force, the driver should avoid
the sudden steering, acceleration or
brake, including implement the engine
brake by reducing the gear. Any sud鄄
den change may cause the tyre slip.
You may realize the wet-skidding road
after the vehicle slips. Learn to identify

the alarm warning sign, such as, water,
ice or accumulates snow on the road
may make the road smooth like a mirror.
If there is any doubt, you need to slow
down the speed.

Please remember: Any anti -skid brak鄄
ing system (ABS) can only help to avoid
the brake sideslip.

Drive at night

Drive at night is more dangerous than
that at daytime. One of the reasons is
some drivers may be obsessed by the
fatigue and the problems like alcohol,
medicine and the visual field at night.

Be sure that the wiper blade of the front
windshield is in good working state, and
the washing solution tank of the front
windshield is filled with the washing so鄄
lution. If the towage phenomenon ap鄄
pears when washing the wiper blade or
if there is missed wiper area left on the
front windshield, or if the rubber strip
separates from the wiper blade, the
wiper blade must be replaced.
Driving cross the big water hole or the
car -washing device fast also may
cause fault. The water may influence the
brake performance. The drivers should
try their best to avoid driving cross the
water hole. If the water hole can not be
avoided, they should try their best to
cross it slowly.

Hydroplaning
The hydroplaning is very dangerous.
The excessively accumulated water un鄄
der the tyre will cause the tyre float on
the water film. This condition will happen
when the road is wet-skidding and the
speed is too fast. When the hydroplan鄄
ing happens to the vehicle, the contact
between the tyre and the road is very
few or there is absolutely no contact be鄄
tween them.
The hydroplaning does not happen fre鄄
quently. If the tyre surface is abraded to
be flat or if one or several tyres are
short of air pressure, the hydroplaning
will happen. Excessively accumulated
water on the road also may cause the
hydroplaning phenomenon. If you can
see the reflections of the trees, the wire

Notes

The damp brake may cause accidents.
When the emergent brake is needed,
the poor performance of the damp
brake may cause the vehicle to deflect
towards one side, and the vehicle may
be out of control.
After driving cross the big water hole or
the car -washing device, step on the
brake pedal until the brake turns to nor鄄
mal.

curved lane, the irradiation distance of
the headlamp is shorter than that when
the vehicle drives linearly. Turning your
eyes constantly can help you to identify
the dim objects. Just as the headlamp
needs to check the light -alignment
condition periodically, your eyes also
need to be checked periodically. Some
drivers suffer the nyctalopia, which
means that they can not see objects
clearly under the dim light, even they
themselves do not realize it.

Drive on the wet-skidding road in rainy
days

The wet-skidding road at rainy days will
cause difficulty. Because the traction
force of the tyre on the wet -skidding
road at rainy days is smaller than that
on the dry road, the brake, acceleration
or steering performance are relatively
bad. Moreover, if there are fewer veins
left on the tyre surface, the traction force
of the tyre is much smaller. If it begins

to rain when you are driving, you'd bet鄄
ter slow down the speed and be very
careful. Your reaction is still kept at the
state of driving on the dry road, though
the road may become wet-skidding.
The bigger the rain becomes, the lower
the visibility will be. Even though the
wiper blade of the front windshield is in
good working state, it is still difficult to
see the road sign, the traffic signal, the
road mark, the lane verge and even the
passerby when the heavy rain appears.

-36

Other hints about the drive in rainy days
淫 Slow down the speed and extend
the distance between the vehicles. You
should be very carefully, especially
when you want to overtake the other
vehicle. Maintain more space in front of
the road and be well prepared for the
limited visual field caused by the splash
of the rainwater.
淫 The tyre in good quality with mild
depth of the tyre surface veins should
be used. Refer to "Tyre" in section吁.

Drive in the urban area

One of the biggest problems when driv鄄
ing in the urban area is the vehicle slow
on the urban street. You must pay close
attention to the action of the other
drivers and the traffic signal light.
The methods to improve the safety of
the drive in the urban area are as fol鄄
lows:
淫 Know the best route to the destina鄄
tion. Just like the multinational travel,

you need to find an urban map and
make a plan about the traveling route to
the strange place of the urban area.
淫 Try your best to use the transfixion
highway at the verge of most big cities.
In such a case, you can save the time
and energy. Refer to "Drive on the high鄄
way" in this section.
淫 Regard the green light as the warn鄄
ing signal light. Traffic signal light is set
for the busyness of the traffic at the
road junction. After the signal light turns
to green, please first examine whether
there are the vehicles which do not
cross the crossing or the vehicles which
cross the road when the red light is on,
and then start to run.

poles or other vehicles and if there is
water bloom appears when the rain
drops on the water surface, the hy鄄
droplaning may also happen.
The hydroplaning generally happens
when driving in high speed. For hy鄄
droplaning, there is no strictly and un鄄
changeable driving rule. The best sug鄄
gestion is that slow down you speed
when driving in rainy days.

Drive across the deep-water area

Drive across the running water

Notes

Drive across the deep -water hole or
the accumulated water area, the water
may enter the engine through the air
inlet of the engine and then the engine
may be damaged seriously. Do not
drive across the deep -water area
whose level is slightly lower than that of
the vehicle bottom. If the deep -water
hole or the accumulated water area can
not be avoided, the drivers must drive
their vehicles slowly.

Notes

The running water or the torrent will
generate strong impulse force. When
the water level is relatively low, you may
try to cross the running water, but the
vehicle may be rushed away. The small
vehicles can be rushed away by the
running water of 6 -inch. When this
condition occurs, the people in the ve鄄
hicle will suffer the drowning accidents.
Do not neglect the warning mark set by
the police, the drivers must be very
cautious when you have to drive across
the running water.

the next exit.
The ring road of the exit may be the
curved lane, and sometimes the curva鄄
ture is very big. Generally, the road sign
shows the value of the limit speed. Slow
down the speed according to the
speedometer other than your own feel鄄
ing. Because after driving for a distance
at high speed, the speed you feel will
be lower than the actual speed.

Before running for a long distance
Be sure that you have made interrelated
preparation. Try to have a good rest. If
you have to start when you are in low
mood (after a day's work), do not run
too much distance in the first stage of
your journey. The dress shall be com鄄
fortable and the shoes shall be easy to
wear and take off.
Has the vehicle been prepared for the
long journey? If you keep maintaining
and curing the vehicle, then you can
start. If the vehicle needs to be re鄄
paired, finish repairing before starting
out. Of course, you can find the experi鄄
enced and skilled maintaining experts in

淫 Fuel, engine oil and other oil fluid:
Have you checked all the fluid level?
淫 Vehicle lamp: Whether can they
work normally? Is the glass lens of vehi鄄

Drive on the highway

Highway is the safest in all kinds of
roads. But there is special driving rule
on highway.
The most important advice for driving on
the highway is: keep up with the vehicle
stream and drive on the right. The speed
must be complied with that of the most
other drivers when driving. Excessively
fast drive or excessively slow drive will
stop the smooth vehicle stream. The left

lane on the highway should be regarded
as the overtaking lane.
At the entrance of the highway, there is
always guiding ring road. If you can see
clearly the highway when driving along
the entrance of the ring road, you
should examine the vehicle stream and
make sure where to enter into the vehi鄄
cle stream. When the speed reaches the
speed of vehicle stream, you can enter
the gap of vehicle stream. Turn on the
steering signal light, and examine the
back mirror, if necessary, you can scan
backwards. Try your best to enter the
vehicle stream smoothly.
After driving into the highway, adjust the
speed according to limit speed or the
speed of the vehicle stream (when the
speed of vehicle stream is relatively

slow). You can drive on the right lane
unless you want to overtake the other
vehicle.
Examine the back mirror before chang鄄
ing the lane. Then use the steering sig鄄
nal light.
Before leaving the lane, scan back鄄
wards fast to ensure there is no other
vehicle in the blind area of your line of
sight.
When driving on the highway, you must
keep moderate distance from other vehi鄄
cle.
Slow down the speed slightly when
driving at night.
When leaving the highway, please drive
into the correct lane ahead. If missing at
the exit, prohibit parking and reversing
in any case, and continuously drive to

Ramp and mountainous road

If you always drive on the rugged moun鄄
tainous road or you planed to go there,
the following suggestions can make
your journey safer and more comfort鄄
able.
淫 Keep good vehicle condition. Ch-
eck all the fluid level and the brake,
tyre, cooling system and gearbox. For
these systems have great load when

running on the mountainous road.
淫 Master the down -slope skill. The
most important thing is: reducing the
speed with the engine braking effect.
Reduce gear when in steep slope or
long slope.

-43

Notes

If you don't slow down when in falling
gradient, the brake will not work normal鄄
ly for overheated. And this will reduce
the braking effect when in falling gradi鄄
ent or it is hardly to brake. So it may
cause accident. When in falling gradi鄄
ent, use engine to brake through re鄄
ducing gear.

Notes

Idle sliding or extinguishing when in
gradient falling is very dangerous. Be鄄
cause this time the reducing speed of
the vehicle completely depends on the
brake. The brake will not work normally
for overheated. So it may cause acci鄄
dent. Therefore, keep the engine run鄄
ning when in gradient falling and the
vehicle can not be in neutral position.

Highway hypnosis
This is just a phenomenon of sleeping
when driving, and we call it highway
hypnosis, comatose for the moment.
On a flat, extending road, you can only
see the same black color and hear the
humdrum sound of tyre and engine or
the wind blowing the vehicle, and this
makes you want to sleep. Remember
not to let such thing happen to you. If it
really happens to you, the vehicle may
leave the road immediately, and colli鄄
sion may happen to cause damage to
you.
How to deal with highway hypnosis?
First of all, pay attention to this situation
may happen:
The following are some interrelated
hints:

淫 Ensure the ventilation of the vehicle
is good; it is cool and comfortable in鄄
side the vehicle.
淫 Do not gaze at one place. Look for鄄
wards and two side of the vehicle.
Check the back mirror and console.
淫 If you feel tired, park at the road
side, fixing area or parking area, have a
snap or do some exercise or both. For
safety, treat the sleep in running as an
emergency.

pared for supplying hauling capacity
when the vehicle suffers skidding. To
make sure the things as mentioned
above have been fixed in the vehicle.

Traveling on Icy and Snowy Road

In most instances, there is enough haul鄄
ing capacity between tyre and road
surface. However, if there is ice and
snow between tyre and road surface,
the vehicle will skid. The hauling capac鄄
ity or ground -grip capacity will de鄄
crease sharply; you should be very
carefully at this time.

What is the worst situation? It is the wet
and slippery ice surface. The very cold
ice and snow is very slippery and it will
bring troubles to driving. But the driving
on the wet and slippery ice surface is
more difficult and its hauling capacity on
this kind of road surface is the least.
When the temperature is close to freez鄄
ing point, namely, 0益 and it begins ice
raining, the wet and slippery ice surface
will be formed. Before the cleaner using
salt and sand to clean the ice and
snow, driving on the wet and slippery
ice surface is needed to avoid.
No matter on the smooth ice surface, in
snow, in flurry, or on the loose snow
surface, driving should be very careful鄄
ly.

Snow mantle may prevent the ejection
exhaust gas from the vehicle bottom,
which will let the deadly carbon
monoxide enter the vehicle, and the
carbon monoxide will make you loss
conscious and kill you. The carbon
monoxide is tasteless and colorless, so
it can enter the vehicle without your
awareness. Clear up the snow mantle
around or at the bottom of the vehicle,
especially those which will block the e鄄
jection pipeline. Then check around the
vehicle from time to time to confirm
there is no more snow mantle.
Open the leeward side window of the
vehicle, which can help to ejecting
carbon monoxide.

淫 Open the flash light for hazard wa-
rning.
淫 Fasten a piece of red cloth in order
to give the police hint that you are
trapped by the heavy snow.
淫 Enclose the redundant clothes or
blanket on the body. If the blanket or
the redundant clothes can not be found,
you can make use of the newspaper,
coarse gunny bag, dishcloth, floor pad
or anything that can be enclosed on the
body or filled in the cloth to keep warm.
You can also start the engine to keep
warm, but you must be very careful.

Run the engine when necessary, this can
save fuel. When the engine is running, the
running speed shall be a little higher than
the idle speed. That's to say to step the
accelerating pedal lightly. And this can
save fuel and keep the electricity in the
storage battery under warmness condi鄄
tion. You must keep enough electricity in
the storage battery so as to use head鄄
lamp to send signal when the vehicle
restart. Make the heater run for a moment.
Then shut off the engine and completely
close the window to keep the heat. Only
when you feel it is really cold, you can
restart the engine and repeat this oper鄄
ation. But try not to do so. And try to
save fuel. In order to keep warm, get off
the vehicle and do proper exercises ev鄄
ery half an hour till the rescuers come.

At the time of emergency braking on the
wet and slippery road, (ABS) can in鄄
crease the stability of the vehicles.
Compared with driving on the dry road,
pre -act braking when driving on the
wet and slippery road, even though the
anti-skid braking system is equipped.
淫 Driving on the wet and slippery
road, larger vehicle space should be
kept.
淫 Pay attention to the wet and slip鄄
pery position. Before you meet the wet
and slippery position which is freezing,
