INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE VEHICLE
In an Emergency

IMPORTANT

Remember the breakdown safety code


If a breakdown occurs while travelling:
• Wherever possible, consistent with road safety and
traffic conditions, the car should be moved off the
main thoroughfare, preferably into a lay-by. If a
breakdown occurs on a motorway, pull well over to
the inside of the hard shoulder.
• Switch on hazard lights.
• If available, position a warning triangle or a flashing
amber light 50 to 150 metres (150 to 500 ft) behind
your vehicle to warn approaching traffic. Note it is a
legal requirement of some countries that a warning
triangle is carried in the vehicle, if in doubt consult
the local highways agency for further information.
• Consider evacuating passengers through nearside
doors onto the verge to reduce risk of injury in the
event of collision.

event of airbag deployment
In the event of a collision, the airbag control unit monitors
the rate of deceleration or acceleration induced by the
collision, to determine whether the airbags should be
deployed. Airbag deployment is virtually instantaneous
and occurs with considerable force, accompanied by a
loud noise.
In the event of a severe frontal collision, a completely
deployed airbag, along with a correctly worn seat belt,
can limit the movement of the driver and front passenger,
reducing the risk of head and chest injuries. For vehicles
fitted with side airbags, when the vehicle encounters
serious side collision, the completely deployed airbag will

Special Driving Environments


In the following circumstances, if the ACC is in use, the
driver shall pay special attention to selecting suitable speed
and prepare for taking measures at all times.
1 When turning at an intersection or following a vehicle
into or out of a curve, the ACC may be unable to
detect the vehicle ahead on the same lane, or may
respond to a vehicle on another lane.
Note: DO NOT use the adaptive cruise control
system on entrance/exit ramps or sharp curves.

172
STARTING AND DRIVING
2 If the vehicle ahead changes lane and is not driving into
the target lane, the ACC may be unable to detect the
vehicle.
If the vehicle ahead changes lane, but does not exit the
current lane completely, the ACC may determine that
the vehicle ahead has already left and accelerates.

5
4 When driving at a small body width overlap ratio (A)
with the vehicle ahead, the ACC system may be unable
to detect the vehicle.

3 DO NOT use the adaptive cruise control system when


driving on a steep hill as it cannot detect the vehicles
on the same lane.

173
STARTING AND DRIVING
Note: Please DO NOT use the adaptive cruise control
system in the following situations:
• Driving in bad weather conditions;
• When the ambient light is insufficient, the light is
too bright, or the forward lighting of the vehicle is
poor;
• Driving on rough or poor road surfaces;
• Driving through roadworks or construction sites;
• Driving on low friction roads (the rapid change of
the tyre traction may result in the excessive wheel
slip).

Vehicle Recovery
Vehicle Towing
DO NOT tow the vehicle with any of the driving wheels in contact with the road surface, this will avoid
electric drive transmission damage. When it is necessary to temporarily push or tow the vehicle from
a dangerous situation or onto the transporter, the speed must remain below 3 mph and be completed
with in 3 minutes.

When pushing or towing the vehicle temporarily, the driver's seat belt should be inserted into the buckle,
placed into neutral and the EPB released, otherwise, the vehicle may be damaged.

DO NOT use a tow rope that is twisted - or the towing hook may be unscrewed.

213
EMERGENCY INFORMATION

Your vehicle is equipped with a towing eye at the front and the rear, which are used for fitting the towing hook. The towing
hook is placed beneath the trunk carpet. To fit the towing hook, remove the small cover. When removing the small cover
on the front bumper, first press one end of the small cover, and then open it in the direction as shown after the other
end is lifted. When removing the small cover on the rear bumper, pry it off in the direction as shown. Then screw the
towing hook via the small hole into the threaded hole in the bumper beam (see illustration). Ensure the towing hook is
fully tightened!

214
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Note: The small cover removed may be secured to the bumper by a plastic cord.

Washer Nozzles
The front windscreen washer nozzle is located on the A/C

Wipers

The function of the wiper is to remove rain, snow or dust from the windscreen to ensure good visibility for the driver.

IMPORTANT

• Grease, silicon and petroleum products impair the blade's wiping capability. Clean the wiper blades in warm soap
water, and check their status periodically.
• Clean the windscreen frequently. DO NOT use wiper blades to remove stubborn or ingrained dirt, it will reduce
their effect and their life span.
• If signs of hardness or cracking in the rubber are found, or if the wipers leave streaks or unwiped areas on the
windscreen, then the wiper blades should be replaced.
• Clean the windscreen regularly with an approved glass cleaner and ensure the windscreen is thoroughly cleaned
before the replacement of wiper blades.
• Only fit the wiper blades that are identical to the original specification.

the wear indicator.

When the tread has worn down to 1.6 mm or below, the
indicators will come to the surface of the tread pattern,

Note: The front and rear tyre rotation applies to
the vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
specifications. Do not perform tyre rotation when the
front and rear wheel specifications are inconsistent.
When the specifications of front and rear wheels of your
vehicle are the same, if the tyres are worn seriously, it is
recommended to swap the front and rear wheels as shown
in illustration. This can prevent tyres from uneven wear,
prolong the life span and balance tyre fatigue.
Note: Directional tyres (identified from the arrow on
