Equipment marked with asterisk

symbol is only fitted on vehicles
having certain construction and produced
in batch, and is only optional for several
vehicle types or vehicles supplied to
certain markets.

In the event that this symbol is
seen in your vehicle, you must

first of all read the related chapters in this
manual before operating your vehicle.

We must exercise our obligatory

responsibility and duty in the
environmental protection. To realize this
objective, you should take important
measures properly operating your vehicle
and disposing of cleaning products and
lubricating materials in line with laws. In
this manual, the tree-shaped symbol is
used to highlight this kind of information.

Inspection of new
vehicle

Before delivering the vehicle to you, the
dealer of Chery has performed inspections
to the vehicle as required by Chery
Automobile Co., Ltd. The dealer should
fill in date of delivery in the column of

“Inspection Proof at Delivery” in this

manual and stamp its official seal.
The dealer will make clear the
performance of the finished vehicle to you
according the Vehicle Delivery Card of
Chery Automobile and give you the
general knowledge of vehicle operation,
and the sales clerk and customer will sign.

Running in of new
vehicle

Owing to the error of machining and
assembling, at the initial period of
operation the frictional resistance between
each pair of moving parts in new vehicle is
much bigger than that in normal condition.
The result of running in of new vehicle
will produce great influence on the service
life and operating reliability and
economical efficiency of vehicle, therefore
the regulation of running in must be
strictly kept in the operation of new
vehicle.

Regulation of running
in within 1,000 km:

 Driving at full speed is absolutely

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

8

prohibited.

 Driving at the speed in excess of 100

km/h is usually not allowed.

 Driving at the maximum speed for

each gear should be avoided.

Regulation of running
in within the range of
1,000-1,500 km:

 Driving speed can be gradually

increased to the maximum, or engine
operates at its allowable highest
revolution.

Attentions should be
paid after the period of
running in:

In the case of driving the vehicle fitted
with engine tachometer, the allowable

maximum revolution of engine is 6,000
r/min in a short time. While shifting gear
manually, the vehicle must be shifted to
the neighboring high gear at latest before
the needle of tachometer is in the red
indicative range.

Engine should be avoided to

operate at unnecessary high
speed. It should be shifted to the high gear
as early as possible in favor of saving fuel
and decreasing operational noise and
helping to reduce environmental pollution.
While in driving, the engine is also
unfavorable with too low revolution. It
should be shifted to the proper gear at
proper time.
With cold engine, whether in NEUTRAL
or running gears, do not let engine work at
maximum revolution state.
A new tire has no optimal adhesive force

when first used. Therefore, a new tire
requires running-in; when traveling in first
100 kilometers, drive slowly and take
extra care and precaution.
New brake lining is also required to run in.
In view of the fact that within the driving
of first 200 km, brake cannot produce
ideal friction with slightly bad braking
effect, brake pedal can be depressed with
moderately violent force. In this stage, if
damping-effect is a little poor, increase
pressure on pedal properly. Such case also
applies to each replacement of brake lining
afterwards.
Wheel nuts of new vehicle must be
tightened to the specified torque over
again after driving for 800 km. The torque
value is specified in the chapter of

“Parameters of Specification” of this

manual. Likewise, in the event that wheel

has ever been replaced or wheel nuts have
ever been loosened, they must be
tightened to the specified torque once
again after driving for 800 km.

Person-to-person
service

In order to provide you with better service
and vehicle, the dealer of Chery will
designate a service consultant to serve you.
If you have any problem during use of the
vehicle, please contact your service
consultant and he/she will provide you
with top-quality service.

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

CHAPTER TWO INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

The engine’s long high-speed

racing could cause the engine and its
exhaust system to overheat and has
chance to cause fire and other
damages. Therefore, do not park on
the ground with hay or other dry

The tail gas exhausted from

the vehicle is toxic, so, do not start a
car long in an in-closed garage or
other closed places. Be sure to open
the door of the garage before starts
the engine. See “Beware of the Car’s

Exhaust Fume” for more information.

Start

PREPARATION
BEFORE STARTING

The engine’s starting is controlled by an

electric control system.
When starting an electronic injection
engine, do not push down the accelerator
pedal before and during the starting. Use
the accelerator pedal only when it is
difficult to start the engine. For more

information about the car’s starting, see
“Starting” in this chapter.

SAFETY NOTICE

The engine’s idle speed RPM is controlled

by an electric control system. The engine
starts with a higher idle speed RPM so as
to raise its temperature. The idle speed
RPM should automatically fall after the
engine reaches a proper temperature.
Deliver the car to Chery Authorized
Service Station for repair if the idle speed
RPM could not fall automatically. Do not
let engine run for more than 10 minutes at
a speed higher than specified idle speed.

MATTERS
CONCERNED
BEFORE STARTING
YOUR VEHICLE

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

 Be sure that all passengers tie the

seat belts properly. See the chapter

“Seats and Safety Device” for more

information about seat belt and its
proper usage.

 Be sure that the headlight and other

electrical accessories are OFF.

 Make sure handle of hand brake has

been pulled up.

 Be sure that the selector lever is in

NEUTRAL.

 Turn ignition switch to the “Ⅱ”

position other than the “III”.

If there exists resistance turning the key,
turn the steering wheel left and right until
the key could turn freely. This occurs
probably due to the following reasons:

 The front wheel deflexion.
 The front wheel hits the curb.
 The steering wheel is turned when

getting into or out of the car. (the
steering wheel self-locks).

 Be sure that the warning light on the

dashboard shine short time while
turning on the ignition key. If not,
deliver the car to Chery Authorized
Service Station for repair.

The warning light will not shine with the

driver’s seat belt fastened before turning

on the ignition key.

THE ENGINE’S

STARTING

1. Turn the ignition switch to the “Ⅲ”

position without stepping on the
accelerator pedal; release the key
immediately after the engine starts,

then the key will return to the “II”

position.

2. If ambient temperature is above

-12C and the engine fails to start
within 5 seconds for the first start,

turn the key to the “B” position and

wait 10 seconds before another try.

3. If the temperature is below -12C

and the engine fails to start within 15
seconds for the first start, turn the

key to the “B” position and wait 10

seconds before another try. If the
engine fails to start in successive two
tries, push accelerator pedal to floor
and hold, then turn the key to the
“Ⅲ” position. After the engine starts,
release the key, and then release the
accelerator pedal slowly as the
engine's RPM rises.

4. Run in idle speed a few seconds

after the engine starts, and then push

If it smells peculiar like
exhaust fume inside the car, ask the
personnel from Chery Authorized
Service Station to repair the car. Do
not continue to drive because the
exhaust fume contains poisonous
content that may endanger life.

down the clutch, shift to the running
gear, release the hand brake to get
ready to run.

5. The ambient temperature conditions

applicable to normal start of the
engine is -25℃-40℃ (when the
ambient temperature is beyond this
range, other abnormal situations may
appear).

BEWARE OF THE

CAR’S EXHAUST

FUME

Though the vehicle’s exhaust fume only
has small toxicity, it contains carbon
monoxide, the poison which you must
beware of. Some compositions in the

engine’s exhaust gas and chemicals

contained in or generated by some
automotive parts may be carcinogenic or
cause neonate defects or other genital
system damages.

In the following cases, check exhaust
system and body ventilation system of the
vehicle.

 Lift the car to examine and repair it.
 The sounds of the exhaustion system

change.

 The car is damaged by collision.

NOTICE OF
VENTILATION

Open the car’s windows with a gap more

than 2.5cm when parking long in idle
speed in an open area. Or use the

ventilation function of the car’s air

conditioning system to let fresh air into the
car.

Air vent

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

The engine’s temperature will
remain high after you turn off the
ignition switch and the engine stalls, so
let the electronic cooling fan of the
radiator continue to run about 10
minutes. Even if the cooling fan stops,
it may run again suddenly because of
high temperature. Therefore, when
working beside the engine, extra care
must be taken.

Clear away snow, fallen
leaves and other foreign materials
blocking at air inlet to ensure
ventilation effect of the vehicle.

SELF-ADAPTING
ABILITY OF THE

ENGINE’S

CONTROL SYSTEM.

If the battery cable has been removed from
the accumulator, the car may present itself
some abnormal phenomena in the initial
stage of running after the cable be
reconnected. This is normal in that the
engine’s control system is re-studying to
adapt the engine.

CONFINING THE
ENGINE’S RPM

To protect the engine, its RPM is confined
by an electronic unit (ECU).

ENGINE STALL

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until

the engine’s RPM falls to idle speed, and

then turn off the ignition switch.

Do not turn off the engine immediately
when parking after a long time high-speed
running, and leave the engine continue to
run two minutes at a RPM higher than the

idle speed RPM so that the engine’s

temperature can fall gradually.

Do not push down the
accelerator pedal before turning off

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

If brake fluid level is found too
low, immediately add brake fluid to
maintain its level between MAX and
MIN and send your vehicle to Chery
Authorized Service Station for
inspection of brake system.

When one braking circuit fails
to work, you need to apply larger force
on the brake pedal when braking and
the stopping distance will also be
longer. Deliver the car to Chery
Authorized Service Station for repair
when this occurs before your journey.

BRAKING

DUAL CIRCUIT

BRAKING SYSTEM

You vehicle is equipped with an X-shape
dual-circuit brake system. In case one of
the two circuits fails, the other circuit can
still maintain effective operation.

LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL ALARM

If the “ ” trouble light on dashboard

constantly lights when ignition switch is

set to the “Ⅱ” position, it indicates a

failure in mechanical part of brake system
or low brake fluid level.
Check the liquid level of the brake fluid at
regular intervals as required.

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

Be sure to make air flow to
the front brake unblocked if the front
spoiler is mounted on the body,
otherwise, the braking system may
overheat or reduce its braking
efficency due to bad abstraction of
heat.

The brake booster is
controlled by the engine vacuum, and
the unit works only when the engine

OPERATION
DESCRIPTION FOR
THE BRAKING
SYSTEM

It is normal for the braking system to
generate some noises occasionally. But, if
it make sounds like grinding between
metals or screams, the brake discs may
have been heavily worn and need to be
replaced. Now, deliver the car to Chery
Authorized Service Station for repair.
Deliver the car to Chery Authorized
Service Station for repair if there are
consecutive chattering or vibrations being
transferred to the steering wheel when
braking.
A new brake lining must go through a
running-in before reaching its optimal
braking effect. The braking-effect will fall

a little in the initial 200 kilometer. In this
case, apply larger force on the pedal
properly to compensate the braking-effect.
This point also applies to the new brake
lining replaced.
Wear status of brake lining depends
greatly on operating mode and driving
method. For a vehicle mainly used in
urban traffic, the working conditions of its
brake linings is very hard; therefore, be
sure to send your vehicle to a Chery
Authorized Service Station to check the
thickness of the brake linings or replace
them at the specified maintenance
kilometrage.
When running downgrade, shift to a lower
gear timely to make full use of the

engine’s braking action for reducing the

load of the braking system. At this time,
do not keep pushing down the brake pedal

even braking is needed.
Damping brake disc may reduce the
braking efficiency. After driving through
water, rainstorm or car washing, push
brake pedal gently to make brake disc and
brake lining rub to generate heat, which
will evaporate the water and restore the
braking effect.

BRAKE BOOSTER:

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

Each pedal could be pushed
down to the floor and could restore
fully and move freely.

Though ABS can ensure the
optimal damping-effect, the stopping
distances may vary greatly with
traffic surfaces. ABS can not always
ensure to reduce the stopping
distances on all road surfaces. For

In case the brake booster is unable to work

because of the vehicle’s being towed or

self failure, apply a larger force on the
pedal to compensate the booster’s effect.

Therefore, do not lay foot pad or other
coverings on the floor around the pedal. If
indeed necessary, be sure that the foot pad
laid will not hinder the movement of the
pedal and will not slide itself.

ANTILOCK BRAKE

SYSTEM ABS( )

ABS can avoid the wheel sticking. It can
even make the car hold turning ability
during emergency braking, which allows
you to avoid the obstructions.

ACTIONS OF ABS

ABS only functions during service braking.

When braking, the brake pedal’s pulsating

accompanying with noises indicates that
ABS is working, and the pulsating and
noises are normal. At this time, do not
release the brake pedal.

UTILIZING ABS TO
BRAKE

Keep pushing down the brake pedal in full
force in emergency may start ABS
immediately, which allow you to control
the turning and avoid the obstructions
where enough space is available.
We recommend you firstly getting familiar
with this brake technique, but avoid taking
any unnecessary risk.

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

During traveling, if ABS
warning lamp is found to light, it
indicates a failure in circuit part of

SELF-CHECKING OF
ABS

ABS will perform self-checking after the
vehicle starts. It is normal that you can
hear some mechanical noises during this
course.

Important principle in
utilizing ABS to brake

1. Push down brake
pedal at full tilt and
hold.

2. Turn steering wheel
to round the obstacle.
No matter how violent
the braking is, you can
always maintain
operating control
performance during
turning.

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

Pull up the handle of hand

brake before leaving the car.

HAND BRAKE

After parking, strain the hand brake
upwards to prevent car sliding due to
neglect.

When pulling up hand brake with ignition
switch turned on, the parking brake
indicator light will light. To apply hand
brake, pull its handle up.

To release hand brake, slightly pull its
handle, press down the release button
under the handle and just push the button
down.
The hand brake applies action on the rear
wheel. Push down the brake pedal while
pulling up the hand brake, which will
facilitate the hand brake’s pulling up.

OPERATIONS OF MANUAL
TRANSMISSION

Methods and notices for use/operation:
 When shifting gear, fully apply

clutch pedal and then control shift
lever to shift gear after separating
transmission input shaft from engine
power.

 When the vehicle runs downhill or

makes a turn, please shift into some

low gear and it is not allowed that
the vehicle coasts under the
condition that the clutch is released.

 When transmission shifts from lower

gear to higher gear, do not perform
gear-jumping, otherwise life of
synchronizer will be shortened.

 No flap (i.e. rapid push and release)

is allowed for gear shifting and you
shall hold the shift lever all the time
during the procedure so as to
considerably reduce the sliding
friction time of synchronizer locking
ring as well as their wear and tear.

 During the driving, you shall not put

your hand onto the gearshift lever;
otherwise it will cause the shift forks
to be rapidly worn.

To avoid damages to power steering
system:
 Do not stick the steering wheel (turn

to the left or right dead point) more
than 10 seconds when the engine is
running.

 Fill up the power steering fluid once
its liquid level is under MIN mark in its
reservoir. Do not drive the car before
filling up.
The car will lose the turning booster force
when the power steering system breaks

down or the engine stalls. You can still
turn the steering wheel, but larger force is
required.
Check the following if the car wanders or
swings:
 If pressures of the front two tires are

identical

 If the wearing status of the tires is

uniform

 If some suspension components are

loose or wearing

 If some turning parts are loose or

wearing

 If the tires are positioned properly

DRIVING
THROUGH WATER

If the car needs to drive through water,
drive carefully and slowly especially when
you do not know the water situation. Do
not go on driving if the water may
submerge the wheel hubs.
When driving through water, both the

car’s traction and braking performance
will fall and the car also may flameout.
If the water enters the intake pipe of the
engine, it will cause great damages to the
engine. In case of deeply driving through
water, the water may enter the
transmission gear from the vent hole and
spoil the transmission.
Be sure to drive slowly and slightly push
down the brake pedal several times to
remove the water on the brake after
driving through water. The water on a
brake will make braking performance of
the brake fall.

THREE WAY

CONVERTER

The three-way catalytic converter helps
reduce exhaust gas pollution.
The gasoline engine car is equipped with
narrow-necked filler, which can only
accommodate the compressor gun of
lead-free gasoline.

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

Drive the car at a lower speed
to the nearest Chery Authorized
Service Station if the engine
mis-ignites or its performance falls
when running. Be sure not to drive at
a high speed.

Avoid any cases that may cause unburned
or partly unburned fuel enters the three
way catalytic converter, especially when
the engine is overheating.

AVOID THE
FOLLOWING CASES:

 Run out of fuel.
 Unnecessarily start the engine long.
 When engine is working, let it run

with one or more spark plugs

removed.

 Start the car whose engine is still in

the working temperature by pushing
or towing.

 Turn off the ignition switch when

running.

PARKING

Do not park your vehicle on dry tree
leaves or hay. There exists chance of fire
even the engine is turned off because the
exhaust gas will still emit relatively large
heat in a short time.
Be sure to turn off the ignition switch
before leaving the car. Do not let the
engine run with nobody inside the car.
Your car may move by chance to cause
personnel injury or property damage if you
neglect this point.

PROTECTING THE
CHASSIS

Your car is equipped with a heat shield.
Do not apply any painting dressing on the
body of the heat shield, exhaust pipe or
three-way catalytic converter or its
vicinity area. Do not remove the heat
shield.

FUEL
CONSUMPTION

FUEL
CONSUMPTION
DEPENDS ON THE
FOLLOWING
FACTORS:

SPEED AND THE GEAR
SELECTED

The above chart indicates how the fuel
consumption is affected by speed and the
gear selected. keeping in lower gear to
improve the acceleration quality may
obviously cause rise of fuel consumption.

DISTANCE OF
RUN/TEMPERATURE
OF THE ENGINE

Frequently cold starting and short distance
driving may obviously make the fuel
consumption rise.

TRAFFIC AND ROAD
STATUS

Traffic jam, upgrade, many bends and
rough surface will all throw adverse
impact on the fuel consumption.

GOOD DRIVING
HABIT

Forecast the dangers and keep a safe
driving distance with the vehicle in front.
This will not only reduce the fuel
consumption but also the wearing of the
brake and its noises.

LOAD CONDITION OF
THE CAR

Increasing the load of the car may cause
rise of fuel consumption.

Fuel consumption

Driving speed

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

After parking and turning off
the engine, the radiator fan will
continue to run a period of time
(about 10 minutes) because the
engine is still in a superheating status
and it will stop running until the
engine cools to a certain temperature.
Even so, the fan may start suddenly
due to temperature rise of the engine
compartment caused by temperature
of outside surroundings (under
isolation or in high temperature
region). Therefore, be careful when
working in the engine compartment
to avoid any accidents!

TECHNICAL
CONDITION OF THE
CAR

Under the pressure of tire or the poor
maintenance of the engine, the car will
also cause the fuel consumption.

KEY POINTS FOR
FUEL-SAVING
DRIVING AND
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTING:

 Drive with fuel-saving and use

additional electric load only when
necessary.

 Start without pre-warming the car.
 Push down the accelerator pedal

smoothly.

 Shift to the next higher gear as soon

as possible to obtain a higher engine
revolution.

 Forecast the traffic status.
 Close the air conditioner and the

heating unit for rear windshield
immediately when unnecessary.

 Regularly check or adjust tire

pressure.

 Perform scheduled maintenance and

preferably ask the professionals from
Chery Authorized Service Station do
it for you.

RADIATOR FAN

The radiator fan is an electrodynamic one
and its working status is controlled by
ECU of the engine. The switch will
automatically turn on the fan circuit when

the coolant or engine compartment reaches
a certain temperature.

INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING

Explanation:

If the fan fails to run after the temperature
of the coolant reaches the starting
temperature of the fan, check the fuse of
the fan for blowing out, and replace the

fuse if necessary. If this does not work,
find out other causes.
The RPM of the fan is independent to that
of the engine and shifting to a lower gear
will not increase the cooling effect of the
fan. Therefore, need not to shift to a lower

gear when the engine runs smoothly and
its speed does not fall obviously when
climbing.
