Economic Driving  
The way in which you drive your car has a significant  
bearing on the life span of the car, as well as affecting the  
energy consumption.  
The brakes and tyres need time to 'bed-in' and adjust to  
the demands of everyday motoring. Therefore, in order  
to enhance the long-term operation performance, try to  
avoid rapid acceleration, rapid deceleration or emergency  
braking during the first 1,500 km1000miles.  
Drive Smoothly  
Traveling at a suitable constant speed is more energy saving  
than frequent braking and acceleration. Avoid making  
hard acceleration, sudden start-off and emergency brake.  
Steady acceleration or deceleration uses considerably less  
energy than rapid acceleration or emergency braking, and  
minimises the wear to mechanical components.

Environment Protection  
Your car has been designed with the latest technology in  
order to minimise hazards to the environment.  
Avoid Driving at Maximum Speed  
Both energy consumption and noise levels increase  
significantly at high speeds.  
Driving Foreseeingly  
Avoid roads with traffic congestion or traffic jams. Foresee  
road congestion as early as possible and keep enough  
distance to the front car during driving, and slow down in  
time. Avoid stamping on the brake pedal for a long time if

there is no braking need, which will cause premature wear  
of friction plate.  
Driving in Special Environment  
Driving in Rain or Snow  
Emergency braking, accelerating and  
Proper Use of Auxiliary Electrical Equipment in Car  
steering on slippery roads will reduce the  
vehicle's handling performance and grip.  
Although it is essential to keep comfortable interior  
environment, the use of interior auxiliary electrical  
equipment will increase energy consumption.  
If the window or windshield fogges up, please use the  
air conditioning defogging function; If there is water film  
on the rearview mirror or fog on the rear windshield,  
please use the external rearview mirror and rear  
windshield heating function.  
If the road surface is frozen or covered with snow, the  
friction between the tires and the road surface becomes  
very small, making it highly prone to accidents. Please  
stop driving; Or install a suitable anti-skid chain before  
driving, refer to 'Tires' in the 'Maintenance' section

Driving through Water  
Do not venture into low-lying waterlogged  
Do not reverse in water or park the vehicle in stagnant  
water. If driving through water causes the vehicle to  
stall, please do not attempt to start the vehicle again.  
Please contact an authorized after-sales service center  
for inspection;  
roads or unknown water wading areas, as  
this may result in power system failure,  
serious vehicle malfunctions (such as  
electrical component short circuits, etc.),  
or damage to the power system due to  
water ingress! Any vehicle malfunction or  
damage resulting from this will no longer  
be covered by our warranty terms.  
After passing through water, please lightly press the  
brake pedal continuously to confirm that the braking  
performance is normal and avoid emergency braking;  
After passing through water, please check if the lighting  
and horn functions are normal;

After wading through water, it may affect the  
functionality and performance of the vehicle. It is  
recommended to contact an authorized after-sales  
service center for inspection in a timely manner.  
When driving a vehicle, try to avoid passing through  
waterlogged roads or areas with puddles as much as  
possible. If you need to drive through water, please follow  
the following suggestions:  
Before entering the flooded section, the depth of the  
water must be clear and the height of the water should  
not exceed the lower edge of the vehicle body;  
If you want to drive through water, you will need to  
turn off the air conditioning before starting, lightly step  
on the accelerator pedal without releasing your foot,  
smoothly and slowly pass through the flooded road  
section, and control the speed within 6.2 mph (10km/h);

Check and Service  
IMPORTANT  
Check Tyre Pressures Regularly  
When there is water or mud on the surface of  
the brake discs, it may cause a decrease in braking  
performance and thus prolong the braking distance.  
Please drive carefully to prevent accidents.  
Over or under-inflated tyres wear out more rapidly  
and also have a detrimental effect on the car's handling  
characteristics. Under-inflated tyres increase the rolling  
resistance of the car which, in turn, increases energy  
consumption.  
Wet brake pads may not function properly. If only  
one brake can operate properly, it can affect steering  
control and cause accidents.  
Do not Carry Unnecessary Loads  
After water enters the interior of high-voltage  
components, it has a significant impact on their  
insulation properties. Water contains a lot of  
conductive substances, which may cause internal  
short circuits in high-voltage components, seriously  
affecting vehicle safety and driving performance.  
The additional weight of unnecessary loads wastes energy  
consumption, especially in stop/start conditions where the  
car is frequently required to set off from stationary. Avoid  
sticking mud, etc. to vehicle chassis, which not only will  
reduce body weight, but also can prevent body corrosion.  
Maintain Correct Four-Wheel Alignment  
Avoid collision with the kerb and reduce speed on uneven  
road surfaces. Incorrect four-wheel alignment not only will  
cause premature tyre wear, but also will increase power  
load and energy consumption.
