Fuel Suggestion

Use non-plumbic gasoline with high
quality for commercial purpose. The
quality of gasoline decisively affects the
dynamic, drive performance and life of
the engine. And the additive is important
to the fuel. Please use non-plumbic
gasoline with additive of high quality. If
the octane rating is too low, it will cause
engine explosion. Chery will not be
responsible for any loss caused by
misusage of the fuel. Please use fuel with
high quality.

Notice

Do not use plumbic gasoline on the
non-plumbic cars so as to avoid any
damage to the engine and exhaust system.
The loss cause by this is not guaranteed.
To prevent unexpected fault in filling
with plumbic gasoline, the plumbic oil
pipe can not be inserted into the
non-plumbic filling cap. Chery can not
apply fuel with carbinol which will
depress the performance of the car and do
harm to the components of the fuel

system. So any damage or performance
problem of the fuel system caused by
using carbinol or carbinol contained fuel
is not guaranteed either.
