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 km（1000miles）.
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
