Chery QQ6 (S21) / S12LHD. Manual — part 68

4.2. Mileage setting

The upper right of the odometer displays the one-way mileage (switchable), and the lower right

displays the total mileage. In the case of vehicle equipped with reversing radar, when the reverse

gear is engaged, the distance behind the vehicle can be displayed on the upper right of odometer.

4.3. Maintenance indicator light reset

In case that the ignition switch turns off, press the regulating button, 3 s later, after the

ignition switch turns on, release the button,, and then the indicator light automatically resets.

5. Battery Check

Check whether the connection of battery is secure and reliable; observe the prompt in the

battery status access hole, and charge or replace the battery if necessary.

The vehicle equipps with the maintenance-free battery, and it is not recommended to use other

types of batteries. If it is necessary to replace the battery, the current and capacity of a new battery
must conform to that of old battery or CHERY’s specifications available.

6. Airbag Check

Access Hole

Airbag

The air bag is an optional configuration. If your vehicle is equipped with the air bags, please

ensure that there is clean and no damage in the “air bag” positions shown in the figure above. DO

NOT let any cleaning fluid or liquid enter into the aribags.

7. Engine Oil Check

7.1. Oil level check

Engine oil consumption is affected by many factors. A new engine reaches the normal value only
after the mileage of approx. 5,000 KM. More engine oil might be consumed under the high-load of
engine.

Stop your vehicle on a level surface before the engine oil check. Turn off the ignition switch and
wait for a few minutes to let the engine oil flows into the oil pan (it may spend more time if the
exterior temperature is low or the temperature of engine does not reach the normal working
temperature). Before the engine oil check, please DO NOT start up the engine in the cold state. Pull
out the dipstick and clean it with a flannelette-free cloth, and then fully insert the dipstick into the
tank and pull it out again.

If the oil level is between MIN and MAX marks at the lower of dipstick, DO NOT refill the oil. The
hot engine oil may exceed the upper mark several millimeters due to its thermal expansion.

7.2. Method to replace the engine oil

In case that the engine oil is replaced, it is necessary to wait until the engine cools down to the

normal temperature, and then replace the engine oil according to the following procedures:

Ø Stop the vehicle over a jack, and then unscrew the filler cap (the cap is shown in the figure

below);

Ø Lift the vehicle up to an appropriate height, unscrew the drain plug with a torque wrench,

and flow the used engine oil into a container at the same time.;

Ø Then, tighten the drain plug with the torque wrench to the specified torque (25±3Nm);
Ø Jack down the vehicle, and then refill proper quantity of new engine oil according to the

specifications;

Ø Screw up the filler cap.

MAX MIN

The oil refilled shall not
exceed the upper limit.

Note: Please refill the engine oil conforming to the CHERY’s specifications only to the level

between MIN and MAX marks.

8. Transmission Oil Check

8.1. Oil level check

Shut down the engine and wait for several minutes, and then lift up the vehicle with a jack, unsrew

the oil limiting plug with a torque wrench, and check the transmission oil level. If the distance

between the oil level and filler opening is large, please appropriately refill the transmission oil (until

the oil level increases up to the filler opening), and then tighten the oil limiting plug with a torque

wrench to the specified torque. (The tightening torque of 44Nm for QR513MHA, and tightening

torque of 30Nm for QR512.)

8.2. Method to replace the transmission oil

Shut down the engine and wait for several minutes, and then lift up the vehicle with a jack, unsrew

the refiller plug with a torque wrench, and then carefully unscrew the drain plug and collect the used

transmission oil with a container. In case that the used transmission oil nearly drains away, tighten

the drain plug with a torque wrenchto the specified torque; and then refill the transmission oil

specified by the CHERY Company (until the oil level increases up to the filler opening according to

the specified quantity). Then tighten the refiller plug with a torque wrench to the specified torque.

9. Trouble Diagnosis of Electronic Control System

Please utilize the CHERY Company’s special diagnostic testers X431 and K81/K61 to diagnose the

electronic control system, and the updated version of program of the diagnostic testers is also

required at the same time.

10. Lubrication and Maintenance of All Hinges and Door Locks

All the hinges and door locks are the maintenance-free products. Please make certain that the bush

of any hinge is in good condition. If damaged, replace it in time.

11. Wiper System Check

11.1. Wiper blade check and maintenance

Check wiper blade

Slide the tip of your finger on the edge of a wiper blade to check the roughness of the blade. The

butter, silicone resin and fuel may enable the wiper blade not to normally work. It is recommended

that the glass cleaning fluid is applied to clean the wiper blade.

Replace the wiper blade

Lift the wiper arm and make it perpendicular to the wiper blade. To remove the wiper blade, press

down the retaining clip according to the arrow as shown in the figure, loosen the wiper blade and

then pull out the wiper arm in the reverse direction.

11.2. Nozzle check and adjustment

Keep the nozzle clean. If the spraying angle is improper, please insert the needle-like article into the

nozzle to adjust the spraying angle. If the spraying angle can’t be adjusted to its proper position,

adjust it again.
