Electronic Key Identification
Electronic Key Identification utilizes
engine ⬙no-start⬙ technology to greatly
enhance the vehicle safety and vehicle theft prevention system.
The chip, built into each key, integrates the key, electronic anti-theft
equipment and engine control module into an active theft prevention system. If a key is duplicated without the
authorization of the owner, and the
key has no chip containing the electronic information required for the
anti-theft equipment and engine computer, the engine will not start using
the duplicated key, thus decreasing
the probability of vehicle theft.
In the event that you have lost your
vehicle key, you should go to an authorized Chery dealer to obtain a replacement key. The dealer can make a
new key for your vehicle and deactivate your lost key.

from the window path before closing.
Occupant Restraints
Lap/Shoulder Belts
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and properly using a seat belt.
Never use a lap/shoulder belt or lap
belt for more than one person. Make
sure that the seat belt is properly fastened without looseness, twists, or obstruction.
WARNING!
A lap belt worn too high can increase
the risk of internal injury in a collision.
The belt forces won’t be at the strong
hip and pelvic bones, but across your
abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as
low and snug as possible.
In a collision, an unrestrained child,
even a tiny baby, can be propelled inside the vehicle if not properly restrained. The force required to hold
even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold
the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others can be badly
injured. Any child riding in the vehicle
should be in an appropriate restraint
for the child’s size.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Warning Light
With the ignition switch ON,
this light is illuminated. It
will not turn off until the
driver properly attaches the
seat belt.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating
Instructions
The seat belt latch plate is above the
back of the front seat, next to your
shoulder. Grasp the latch plate and
pull out the belt. While pulling out the
belt, slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the
belt to go around your lap. When the
belt is long enough to fit, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until you
hear a ⬙click⬙.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 25
24 – BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
A belt that is fastened into the wrong
buckle will not protect you properly.
Always buckle your belt into the nearest buckle.
To release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary, slide the latch plate
down the webbing to allow the belt to
retract fully.
Central Two-Point Seat Belt for
Rear Seat
This seat belt length cannot be adjusted automatically. The seat belt is
adjusted by an adjustable buckle that
slides along its length to provide the
proper fit for the passenger. When the
belt has been adjusted to fit the passenger, insert the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a ⬙click⬙, and
then adjust the length of seat belt
manually across your abdomen.
Rear Central Two-Point Seat Belt
WARNING!
A twisted belt cannot perform properly.
In a collision, it could even cut into its
passenger . Be sure the belt is straight.
If you can’t straighten a belt in your vehicle, take it to an authorized Chery
dealer and have it repaired.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the driver’s seat and front passenger’s seat, the shoulder belt can be
adjusted upward or downward to position the belt away from the driver’s or
passenger’s neck. Push and fully de-
press the button to release the anchorage, and move it up or down to
the position that fits you best.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
Maintenance for Seat Belt
Inspection Of Seat Belt
The seat belt should be inspected
regularly for damage or frays. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have
been damaged.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 26
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 25
WARNING!
Do not disassemble or modify the seat
belt.
Washing Seat Belt
The seat belt should be washed with
vehicle detergent or warm water and
allowed to dry naturally.
WARNING!
Never use chemical detergents, boiled
water, bleach or dye to wash the seat
belt.
Never allow water to enter the belt retractor.
Airbag
The airbags work with the seat belts to
properly restrain the driver and frontseat passenger in the event of a collision.
NOTE:
As the triggered airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal byproduct of the process that generates
the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation.
The front occupants must be sitting as
upright as possible in order to be effectively protected.
WARNING!
Always properly position your seat belt
to maintain the proper distance from
the steering wheel. Only then can the
airbag provide optimal protection during a collision.
Front Airbags
Front Airbags
The seat and backrest must be positioned correctly for the airbag to provide optimal protection during a collision. The vertical sitting posture is
best when the lower back is in contact
with the seat backrest as much as possible and the inclination of seat backrest is not over 30 degrees. Never position the front seat too close to the
instrument panel. While driving, the
steering wheel should be held with
the arms slightly flexed. This is an
ideal driving posture, which helps to
decrease the risk of the driver being
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 27
26 – BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
injured in a collision in which the airbag does not deploy.
The front airbag will deploy in a moderate to severe frontal collision or
within the scope of left/right 30 degrees collisions. When it touches the
occupant, it instantly deflates to cushion the forward movement of the occupant. An airbag is designed to deploy
in moderate to severe frontal or nearfrontal crash. The airbag will deploy
only if the impact speed is above the
system’s designated threshold level.
WARNING!
Do not put anything on or around the
front airbag covers or attempt to
manually open them. Take your vehicle
to an authorized Chery dealer for steering wheel, steering column and airbag
system service or you could be injured
because of accidental airbag deployment.
Airbag Warning Light
When the ignition switch is in ON, the
warning light in the instrument panel
will be turned on and remain on for
3-4 seconds. If the light does not come
on, remains illuminated after you start
the vehicle, or if it comes on as you
drive, take your vehicle to an authorized Chery dealer for inspection. It is
suggested by the airbag manufacturer
that the airbag should be replaced after 10 years of service because the efficiencies of the inflating agent and airbag deteriorate. If you are not clear
about the service life of your vehicle’s
airbag, your authorized Chery dealer
can answer any questions or address
any concerns you may have. Take your
vehicle only to an authorized Chery
dealer for service.
Child Restraint
Please follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant
or child restraint.
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child,
even a tiny baby, can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your
lap could become so great that you
could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others
could be badly injured. Any child riding
in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child’s size.
NEVER use a backward-facing child
restraint seat on a passenger seat protected by an airbag. A backwardfacing child restraint should only be
used in a rear seat. A backward-facing
child restraint in the front seat may be
struck by a deploying passenger airbag which may cause severe or fatal
injury to the infant.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 28
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 27
For children under 12 years old or
shorter than 150 cm, the special child
restraint must be used properly with
an infant restraint, child restraint, or
with the heightened seat cushion. The
child restraint must be applicable and
government-authorized. Maximum
child safety can be obtained when the
safety seat works together with the
seat belt.
Children who weigh less than 10 kg or
are less than 1 year old should be
placed in the baby bed on the rear
seat with the baby lying flat and on
the bed and restrained. For infants,
use the backward-facing child restraint.
Rearward Facing Child Seat
Children who weigh between 10 kg to
18 kg or are less than 4 years old
should use child restraints on the rear
seat.
Child Restraint Seat
Children who weigh between 18 kg to
36 kg or are between 4 and 12 years
old should sit on the heightened seat
cushion on the rear seat. The adjustable auxiliary seat belt fixed on the
heightened seat cushion can ensure a
child uses the seat belt properly. The
heightened seat cushion positions the
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.

28 – BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
belt away from the child’s neck and
the lap belt should fit across the
child’s abdomen.
Heightened Seat Cushion
WARNING!
Each child restraint is intended for one
child only.
According to local traffic laws, children
are forbidden to sit in the front seat
and should use the applicable child restraints.
Operating Safety Tips
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN
THE CARGO AREA.
WARNING!
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in
a seat and using a seat belt properly.
Locking Your Vehicle
Always remove the key from the ignition switch and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended, even
in your own driveway or garage. Try to
park your vehicle in a well-lit area and
avoid leaving articles of value exposed.
Exhaust Gas
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
contain carbon monoxide (CO), which
is colorless and odorless. Breathing it
can make you unconscious and can
eventually poison you and lead to
death.
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas any longer
than needed to move your vehicle in
or out of the area.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust
your heating or cooling controls to
force outside air into the vehicle. Set
the blower at high speed.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 30
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 29
If you are required to drive with the
back door open, make sure that all
windows are closed and the climate
control BLOWER switch is set at high
speed. DO NOT use the recirculation
mode.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle passenger compartment is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
Interior Vehicle Safety Inspection
Seat Belts
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose
parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision. Rear seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a
collision if they have been damaged
(i.e., bent retractor, torn webbing,
etc.). If there is any question regarding
belt or retractor condition, replace the
belt.
Airbag Warning Light
The light should come on and remain
on for 3-4 seconds as a bulb check
when the ignition switch is first turned
ON. If the light is not lit during starting, see your authorized Chery dealer.
If the light stays on, flickers, or comes
on while driving, have the system
checked by an authorized Chery
dealer.
Defroster
Check the operation by selecting the
defrost mode and place the blower
control on high speed. You should be
able to feel the air directed against
the windshield. See your authorized
Chery dealer for service if your defroster is inoperable.
Exterior Vehicle Safety Inspection
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear
and uneven wear patterns. Check the
tires for the following:
• Stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread
• Tread and sidewall for cuts and cracks
• Proper pressure (including spare)
• Wheel nuts for proper torque
Lights
Have an assistant observe the operation of exterior lights while you work
the controls. Check turn signal and
high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Check the following
lights for proper operation:
• Low beam headlights
• High beam headlights
• Turn signals
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 31
30 – BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
• Tail Lamps
• Stop Lights
Fluid Leaks
Check the area under the vehicle after
overnight parking. If a leak is suspected, the cause should be located
and corrected immediately. Check the
following for possible leaks:
• Fuel
• Engine coolant
• Engine oil
• Power steering fluid
• Brake fluid
New Vehicle Break-In
Recommendations
Engine Break-In
Recommendations
Vehicle frictional resistance is much
greater when the vehicle is new. The
result of proper engine break-in will
impact the service life, operating reliability and vehicle economical efficiency. The following is the proper engine break-in procedure:
During first 1,000 km of operation:
• Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 3,000 rpm
• Do not exceed 100 km/h
• Do not operate the engine at maxi-
mum speed when upshifting
During 1,000-1,500 km of operation:
• Driving speed can be gradually increased to greater than 100 km/h
• Engine speed can be gradually increased to its maximum
Safety Tips During Engine Break-In
The maximum engine speed is 6,000
rpm. If the vehicle is equipped with a

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 31
NOTE:
To utilize your vehicle efficiently, avoid operating the engine at unnecessary high speeds. To optimize fuel
efficiency, the vehicle should be shifted
to the next highest gear position at the
proper engine/road speed. This will decrease operational noise and help reduce environmental pollution.
NOTE:
The engine is also at risk if it is
operated at too low an engine speed. It
should be shifted to a lower gear position in order to maintain the proper engine speed.
NOTE:
The engine must be at normal
operating temperature before operating
the engine at high speed.
Braking System Break-In
Recommendations
The brakes cannot provide the ideal
friction to stop during the vehicle’s
first 200 km of operation. You should
depress the brake pedal firmly to increase friction and improve stopping
capability.
Tire and Wheel Break-In
Recommendations
New tires require a brief break-in period. Your vehicle should be driven
slowly and especially carefully within
the first 100 km of driving.
Vehicle wheel nuts must be retightened to the specified torque after
the first 800 km of driving. Also, when
a wheel has been replaced or after
wheel nuts have been loosened, they
must be re-tightened to the specified
torque after driving 800 km.

of the vehicle to sway.
Do not pile luggage or cargo higher
than the top of the seat back. This
could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop
or collision.
Roof Luggage Rack
The roof rack cross rails and side rails
are designed to carry cargo weight.
The load must not exceed 68 kg, and it
should be distributed uniformly over
the cross rails. In addition, the roof
rack does not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be
sure that the total occupant and luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the
load on the roof rack, does not exceed
the maximum vehicle load capacity.
Moving the Cross Rails

• Loosen the knob on top of each cross
rail to disengage the rail clamp from
the side rail.
Roof Luggage Rack
• Adjust the cross rails to the desired
location.
• Tighten the knobs on each cross rail
to lock it in position. As you tighten
the knob, make sure the rail clamp
engages completely into the side rail
slot.
• Confirm that the cross rails are fully
locked in position.
CAUTION!
•
Cross rails should remain equally
spaced or parallel at any luggage
rack position. Noncompliance could
result in damage to the roof rack,
luggage, and vehicle.
•
To avoid damage to the roof rack
and vehicle, do not exceed the
maximum roof rack load capacity of
68 kg. Always distribute loads as
evenly as possible and secure the
load appropriately.
•
The load should be secured and
placed on top of the roof rack, not
directly on the roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or some other protection between the load and the
roof surface.
•
Long loads which extend over the
windshield, such as wood panels,
should be secured to both the front
and rear of the vehicle.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•
Travel at reduced speeds and turn
corners carefully when carrying
large or heavy loads on the roof
rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic, can
add sudden upward loads. This is
especially true on large flat loads
and may result in damage to the
cargo or your vehicle.
WARNING!
Luggage must be securely tied before
driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in
personal injury or property damage.
Follow the Roof Rack Cautions when
carrying cargo on your roof rack.

STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 59
Starting and Operating
Preparation Before Starting
Before starting your vehicle, adjust
your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt,
and, if present, instruct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. Make
sure the headlamps and other electrical accessories are OFF.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Do not leave
the key in the ignition. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Automatic Transaxle (If Equipped)
Before starting the engine, the transaxle must be in the PARK (P) position.
NOTE:
The ignition switch must be in
the ON position and you must press the
brake pedal before shifting out of PARK
(P).
Manual Transaxle (If Equipped)
Before starting the engine, fully engage the parking brake, press the
clutch pedal to the floor, and place the
gear selector in NEUTRAL.
NOTE:
The engine will not start until
the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
WARNING!
Racing the engine at high speed may
cause excessive heat in the exhaust
system, resulting in overheating and vehicle fire, which may cause serious injuries or death.
If there is resistance when turning the
ignition switch, try turning the steering
wheel left and right until the ignition
switch can be turned ON. This resistance is probably due to any of the following reasons:
• The direction of the front wheels
• The front wheel is touching the curb
• The steering wheel self-locks
Normal Starting Procedure
The following should be performed for
normal starts:
• Turn the ignition switch to START
without pumping or depressing the
accelerator pedal. Release the switch
when the engine starts.
• The starter motor may need to remain
engaged for up to 15 seconds in very
cold conditions until the engine is
started.
If the engine fails to start within 15
seconds, turn the ignition switch to
the LOCK position, wait 10 to 15
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 61
60 – STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
seconds, then repeat the normal
starting procedure. If the engine
still doesn’t start, see ⬙Failed Starting Procedure⬙.
Failed Starting Procedure
The following should be performed if
the engine fails to start after two consecutive attempts:
• Press the accelerator pedal to the
floor and hold it there.
• Turn the ignition switch to the START
position and crank the engine till it
starts.
• Once started, release the accelerator
pedal slowly as the engine warms up.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do
not crank the engine for more than 15
seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again.
After Starting
The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up.
Self-Adapting Function Of Engine
Control System
If the battery cable has been removed
from the battery, the vehicle may run
irregularly for a short time after the
cable is reconnected. This is normal
because the engine control system is
readapting to the engine.
Limiting Engine Speed
To protect the engine from overspeed, the engine is electronically
limited by the Engine Control Module
(ECM).
Starting and Operating Cautions
Exhaust Gases
WARNING!
Engine exhaust gas can injure or kill.
It contains carbon monoxide (CO)
which is colorless and odorless.
Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even death. To avoid breathing CO, follow these safety tips:
•
Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or confined area any longer
than needed before moving your vehicle from the area.
•
If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running in
an open area, adjust your heating
or cooling controls to force outside
air into the vehicle. Set the blower
at high speed.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 62
STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 61
Turn Off Your Engine
Before turning off your engine, always
allow the engine to resume normal
idling speed and run for several seconds. This assures that the engine’s
temperature can fall gradually. This is
particularly necessary after any period
of hard driving.
CAUTION!
The engine’s temperature will remain
high after you turn the engine off. After the engine is turned off, the vehicles electric cooling fan will continue
to run for approximately 60 seconds.
Even if the cooling fan stops, it may run
again suddenly because of the high
temperature. Therefore, extra attention and caution must be given when
working in the engine compartment.
Hood Release
The hood is held closed by primary
and secondary latches. Both latches
must be released to open the hood.
• Pull the hood release lever located
on the lower left side of the instrument panel.
Hood Release Lever
• Pull the secondary latch located
through the grille opening, and raise
the hood.
Secondary Latch Location
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it. Lower the
hood until it is open approximately 20
cm and then drop it. This should secure both latches. Never drive your vehicle unless the hood is fully closed,
with both latches engaged.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 63
62 – STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
If the hood is not fully latched it could
fly up when the vehicle is moving and
block your forward vision. You could
have a collision. Be sure all hood
latches are fully latched before driving.
Automatic Transaxle (If
Equipped)
4-Speed Automatic Transaxle
The electronically controlled transaxle
provides precise shifting. The transaxle electronics are self-calibrating,
therefore, the first few shifts on a new
vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This
is a normal condition, and precision
shifts will develop within a few hundred miles.
Shifting from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE should be done only after the
accelerator pedal is released and the
vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep
your foot on the brake when moving
the shift lever between these gears.
Gear Ranges
Automatic Shift Lever
PARK (P)
PARK supplements the parking brake
by locking the transaxle. The engine
can be started in this range. Never attempt to use PARK while vehicle is in
motion.
Apply parking brake when leaving vehicle in this range. When parking on a
flat surface, place the shift lever in the
PARK position first, and then apply
the parking brake. When parking on a
hill, set the parking brake before plac-
ing the shift lever in PARK. Otherwise,
it is difficult to move the shift lever out
of PARK because of the load on the
transaxle locking mechanism.
REVERSE (R)
This range is used for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into this range
only after the vehicle has been
stopped completely.
NEUTRAL (N)
The engine may be started in this
range.
WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never
turn off the ignition to coast down a
hill. These practices are very dangerous and may result in a loss of control
of the vehicle or an accident.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 64
STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 63
DRIVE (D)
This range should be used for normal
driving. It provides the smoothest
shifting and best fuel economy.
WINTER MODE (W)
Press the ⬙W⬙ switch on the shift panel
to accelerate in second gear. This function is used in snowy or icy conditions.
Automatic Transaxle Manual Shift
Mode
The automatic transaxle manual shift
mode allows you to maximize engine
braking, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve
overall vehicle performance. This
mode can also provide you with more
control while passing, city driving,
slippery driving, mountain driving,
and many other driving conditions.
Automatic Transaxle Manual Shift
Operation
Manual Shift Mode
The manual shift mode can be activated only when the shift lever is in
the DRIVE (D) range. Move the shift
lever to the right side to activate the
manual shift mode. Moving the shift
lever to the (+) side will upshift the
transaxle to the next higher gear. In
the same manner, moving the shift lever to the (-) side will downshift the
transaxle to the next lower gear. After
the manual shift mode is activated,
the gear selected is displayed in the
instrument cluster. Moving the shift lever to the (+) or (-) direction will cause
an upshift or downshift by one gear.
Gear Range Display (2nd Gear Shown)
NOTE:
Downshifts in the manual shift
mode are only allowed when the vehicle
speed has slowed to the allowable
range.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.

64 – STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Shift Lock Feature
Shift Lock Position 5-Speed Shift Pattern
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, push the Shift Lock button
on the shifter assembly. With the Shift
Lock button activated, you can move
the shift lever to different gear selections without pressing the brake
pedal.
NOTE:
Shift Lock Feature is only be
used in the case of an emergency.
Manual Transaxle
5-Speed Manual Transaxle
To utilize your manual transaxle efficiently for both fuel economy and per-
formance, it should be upshifted as effectively as possible.
NOTE:
During cold weather, it is normal to experience increased effort in
shifting until the transaxle fluid warms
up.
CAUTION!
Never drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal.
Never attempt to hold the vehicle on
a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you
leave the vehicle unattended without
having the parking brake fully applied.
The parking brake should always be
applied when the driver is not in the
vehicle, especially on an incline.
Shifting
• Always use 1st gear when starting
from a standing position.
• Fully depress the clutch pedal before
shifting gears. As you release the
clutch pedal, lightly depress the accelerator pedal.
• Always use each gear in numerical order, do not skip a gear.
• Apply proper pressure to the shift lever while shifting. Proper pressure reduces the sliding and rubbing time
of the synchronizer’s lock ring and reduce friction.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 66
STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 65
• Do not press the shift lever when
driving, extra pressure and stress will
be placed on the shift fork.
• Shift to reverse gear only when the
vehicle is stopped completely.
• Stop and inspect the vehicle if you
hear abnormal sounds inside the
transaxle.
Downshifting
• When driving down steep hills, downshift to help preserve brakes.
• For better low speed acceleration,
downshift when attempting to resume
speed.
• To avoid over-speeding the engine
and clutch, downshift progressively
and do not skip gears.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional engine
braking on a slippery surface. The
drive wheels could lose their traction
and the vehicle could skid.
Four Wheel Drive System
(If Equipped)
Four Wheel Drive (4WD)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
full-time Four Wheel Drive (4WD) system. With the 4WD option, power will
be delivered to the front wheels and
distributed to the rear wheels as
needed. The 4WD system is active all
the time and requires no input from
the operator. 4WD uses all four wheels
to power the vehicle. This increases
traction, enabling you to drive over
terrain and road conditions that a conventional two-wheel drive vehicle
cannot.
Driving Off-Highway With 4WD
Vehicles
Your 4WD vehicle is not intended for
off-road use. The 4WD feature gives
your vehicle some limited off-road capabilities in which driving surfaces are
relatively level, obstruction-free and
otherwise similar to normal on-road
driving conditions.
NOTE:
conditions that could subject the vehicle
to excessive stress which might result in
damage is not covered under your
warranty.
Operating your vehicle under
Brake System
Parking Brake
When the parking brake is applied
with the ignition ON, the Brake Light
in the instrument cluster will illuminate.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 67
66 – STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
Always apply the parking brake fully
when leaving your vehicle or it may roll
and cause damage or injury. Also, be
certain to leave an automatic transaxle
in PARK or a manual transaxle in REVERSE or 1st gear. Failure to do so
may allow the vehicle to roll and cause
damage or injury.
Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving, failure to do
so can lead to brake problems due to
excessive heating of the rear brakes.
Parking Brake Lever
To apply the parking brake, lift up on
the parking brake lever until the resistance is moderate to high (about 7
clicks). Before leaving the vehicle,
make sure that the parking brake is
fully applied and the gear selector is
in the PARK position.
To release the parking brake, slightly
pull up the parking brake lever while
pushing the release button on the end
of the lever. Guide the lever downward to its stop. The brake warning
light in the instrument cluster should
go out.
NOTE:
You should always apply the
parking brake before leaving the vehicle.
Dual Circuit Brake System
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagonal dual circuit brake system. If one
circuit fails, the other circuit can still
work.
CAUTION!
If one brake circuit fails to work, you
need to press the brake pedal much
harder during braking. The braking
distance will also increase. When this
happens, take your vehicle to an authorized Chery dealer for repair.
Brake Booster
The brake booster provides added
braking assist and is controlled by engine vacuum. The brake booster works
only when the engine is operating.
CAUTION!
If the vehicle is being towed, the brake
booster will not provide the normal
braking assist. It will be necessary to
press the brake pedal harder to compensate for the booster’s loss of assist.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 68
STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 67
WARNING!
The brake booster is controlled by engine vacuum and works only when the
engine is operating. Therefore, do not
turn the engine off and coast while
driving down hill.
Operating Cautions
Brake System
• If there is consistent noise or vibration being transferred to the steering
wheel during braking, take your vehicle to an authorized Chery dealer
for repair.
• New brake pads require a 200 km
break-in period. During the first 200
km, higher pedal pressure will be required for adequate stopping.
• Brake pad wear depends greatly on
the driving habits of the operator. For
vehicles mainly used for city traffic,
frequent starting and stopping will
significantly shorten the life of the
brake pads. It is necessary to take
your vehicle to an authorized Chery
dealer for regular maintenance and
proper service.
• When driving down a steep grade hill,
shift to a lower gear to make full use
of the engine’s braking action. This
will reduce the load on the brake system.
• A damp brake rotor may reduce braking efficiency. After driving through
water , driving in a rainstorm, or washing the vehicle, press the brake pedal
lightly to dry the brakes and restore
normal braking.
WARNING!
Keeping the brake pressed while driving – commonly known as “riding the
brake” – can lead to brake failure and
possibly an accident. Driving with your
foot resting or “riding” on the brake
pedal can result in abnormally high
brake temperatures, excessive lining
wear , and possible brake damage. This
also deteriorates full braking capacity in case of an emergency stop.
Brake Fluid
Check the brake fluid level at regular
intervals.
WARNING!
Add brake fluid to the brake fluid reservoir to maintain the ⴖMAXⴖ level. If
a brake fluid leak is suspected, take
your vehicle to an authorized Chery
dealer for repair.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 69
68 – STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS provides increased vehicle
stability and braking performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically modulates brake
pressure during severe braking conditions to prevent wheel lockup.
WARNING!
The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning. Only
a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can
prevent accidents.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner, which
could jeopardize your safety or the
safety of others.
When the brake system goes into an
antilock stop, you may also experience the following:
• The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a short time after the
stop)
• The clicking sound of the solenoid
valves
NOTE:
These are all normal charac-
teristics of ABS.
Utilizing ABS Braking
Firmly pressing the brake pedal in an
emergency stop may start the ABS immediately, which will allow you to
properly control the vehicle.
WARNING!
Pumping of the antilock brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead
to an accident. Pumping makes the
stopping distance longer. Just press
firmly on your brake pedal when you
need to slow down or stop.
ABS Self-Check
When the engine is started, you may
hear a slight clicking sound as well as
some related motor noises. These
noises are the ABS performing its selfcheck cycle to ensure that the system
is working properly.
NOTE:
If the ABS light comes on while
driving, it indicates that the antilock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required.
Power Steering
Power steering is standard equipment
on this vehicle. The power steering
system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system
will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost.
If the power assist is interrupted, it
will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these conditions, you will
feel a substantial increase in steering
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 70
STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 69
effort, especially at very low vehicle
speeds and during parking maneuvers.
NOTE:
Review the following to avoid
damaging the power steering system :
•
Prolonged or excessive turns of the
steering wheel can increase the
steering fluid temperature. This
should be avoided when possible as
damage to the power steering pump
may occur.
•
Fill the power steering fluid reservoir
once its level is under the ⬙MIN⬙ mark
in its reservoir. Do not drive the vehicle with the fluid level below ⬙MIN⬙.
WARNING!
Continued operation with reduced
power steering assist could pose a
safety risk to yourself and others.
Check the following if the vehicle is
experiencing steering difficulty:
• Tires are properly inflated
• Tires are wearing evenly
• Loose or worn suspension compo-
nents
• Loose or worn steering components
• Proper wheel alignment
Driving Through Water
Drive carefully and slowly when going
through water more than a few inches
deep.
CAUTION!
The following guidelines apply to driving through water:
•
Never drive through standing water
that is deeper than the bottom of
your vehicle’s tire rims.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•
Water inside your vehicle’s engine
can cause it to lockup, stall, or
cause serious internal damage.
•
Vehicle traction and braking performance will decrease while driving
through water.
•
Driving through water may cause
damage to your vehicle’s drivetrain
components. Always inspect your vehicle’s fluids (e.g., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for signs of contamination (e.g., fluid that is milky
or foamy in appearance) after driving through water. Do not continue
to operate the vehicle if any fluid
appears contaminated as this may
result in further damage.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 71
70 – STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
Driving through water limits your vehicle’s braking performance, which increases brake distances. After driving
through water, drive slowly and lightly
press on the brake pedal several times
to dry the brakes.
Getting water inside your vehicle’s engine can cause it to lockup, stall, and
leave you stranded.
Failure to follow these warnings may
result in serious injuries or death for
you, your passengers, and others
around your vehicle.
Driving In Slippery Conditions
Rapid acceleration on snow covered,
wet, or other slippery surfaces may
cause the front wheels to pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a difference
in the surface traction under the front
(driving) wheels.
When driving on wet or slushy roads, it
is possible for a wedge of water to
build up between the tire and road
surface. This is hydroplaning and may
cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability. To
reduce this possibility, the following
precautions should be observed:
• Slow down during rainstorms or when
roads are slushy.
• Slow down if the road has standing
water or puddles.
• Replace the tires when tread wear indicators first become visible.
• Keep the tires properly inflated.
• Maintain a safe following distance to
avoid a collision in a sudden stop.
Tires
General Information
Tires are designed and engineered for
each specific vehicle. They provide
the best overall performance for normal operation. The ride and handling
characteristics match the vehicle’s requirements. With proper care they will
give excellent reliability, traction, skid
resistance, and tread life.
Tire Life
The service life of a tire is dependent
upon varying factors including but not
limited to:
• Driving style
• Tire pressure
• Distance driven
WARNING!
Tires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the
remaining tread. Failure to follow this
warning can result in sudden tire failure. You could lose control and have
an accident resulting in serious injury
or death.
Tire Loading
The vehicle maximum load must not
exceed the load carrying capacity of
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 72
STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 71
the tires on your vehicle. You will not
exceed the tire’s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loading conditions, tire size, and cold tire inflation
pressures specified on the Tire and
Loading Information placard and in
the “Vehicle Loading” section of this
manual.
Alignment and Balance
Improper alignment may result in:
• Excessive tire wear
• Uneven tire wear (feathering and one
sided wear)
• Vehicle directional pull (left or right)
Tires may also cause the vehicle to
pull left or right. Alignment will not
correct this problem. Take your vehicle to an authorized Chery dealer for
repair.
Tire Chains
Tire chains are used during heavy
snow and winter conditions and can
only be used on the drive wheels.
WARNING!
Vehicle speed must not exceed 50
km/h when using tire chains.
If equipped with wheel covers, they
should be removed before installing
tire chains. The wheel covers should
be reinstalled once the tire chains
have been removed.
Tire Pressure
The proper tire inflation pressure is
listed on a placard either on the face
of the driver’s door or on the driver’s
side door jam. Proper tire inflation
pressure is essential to the safe and
satisfactory operation of your vehicle.
Three primary areas are affected by
improper tire pressure:
Safety
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents.
• Under-inflation increases tire flexing
and can result in tire failure.
• Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability
to cushion shock.
• Unequal tire pressure can cause
steering problems.
• Objects on the road and chuckholes
can cause damage that results in tire
failure.
Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a
comfortable ride. Over-inflation produces a jarring and uncomfortable
ride.
Economy
Improper inflation pressure can cause
uneven wear patterns to develop
across the tire tread. These abnormal
wear patterns will reduce tread life, resulting in a need for early tire replacement. Under-inflation, also increases
tire rolling resistance and results in
higher fuel consumption.

NOTE:
•
The tire pressure should be checked
and adjusted and the tires inspected
for signs of wear or visible damage, at
least once a month.
•
Check tire pressure more often if subject to a wide range of outdoor temperatures, as tire pressure varies with
temperature changes.
Tire Rotation
Tires on the front and rear axles of a
vehicle operate at different loads and
perform different steering, driving,
and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and
tend to develop irregular wear patterns. These effects can be reduced by
timely rotation of tires. The benefits of
rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as
those on all-season tires. Rotation will
increase tread life, help to maintain
mud, snow and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet
ride. See ⬙Proper Maintenance Of Your
Vehicle⬙ for suggested rotation intervals.
NOTE:
Tire rotation should be per-
formed every 8,000 km - 10,000 km.
Tire Rotation Direction
Spare Tire
The spare tire is for temporary emergency use. It is engineered to be used
on your style vehicle only.
Tread Wear
Tire treads should be checked periodically for any shearing or uneven
abrasions. The uneven abrasion of
tread indicates a possible incorrect
wheel alignment. There are laws regarding tread abrasion depth. Abrasion bands will appear when the tread
depth becomes 3 mm. When the tread
depth reaches this point the tire must
be replaced.
Tread Abrasion Bands
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 74
STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE – 73
NOTE:
Abide by the local environmental protection provisions for the disposal
of worn tires.
Once driving conditions permit, replace
the winter tires with summer tires to reduce fuel consumption and lower the
level of road noise.
Replacement Tires
The tires on your new vehicle provide
a balance of many characteristics.
When replacing tires, Chery strongly
recommends that you use tires
equivalent to the originals in size,
quality and performance.
WARNING!
Do not use a tire, wheel size, or rating other than that specified for your
vehicle. Combinations of unapproved
tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance
characteristics, resulting in changes to
steering, handling, and braking of your
vehicle. This can cause unpredictable
handling and stress to steering and
suspension components. You could lose
control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death. Use only
the tire and wheel sizes with load ratings approved for your vehicle.
NOTE:
Replacing original tires with
tires of a different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.
It is strongly recommended to use OEM
tires, or refer to an authorized Chery
dealer for recommendations when replacing the tires.
Fuel
General Information
Your vehicle is designed to meet all
emission regulations and provide excellent fuel economy when using high
quality unleaded gasoline with a minimum research octane rating of 93. The
vehicle will operate on fuels ranging
from regular unleaded having a minimum research octane of 93 to premium unleaded with a minimum research octane of 98.
Chery Automobile Co., Ltd.
Page 75
74 – STARTING AND OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Besides using unleaded gasoline with
the proper octane rating, gasoline that
contains detergents, corrosion and
stability additives are recommended.
Using gasoline that has these additives may help improve fuel economy,
reduce emissions, and maintain vehicle performance.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling,
and run-on. If you experience these
problems, try another brand of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Clean Air Gasoline
Many fuels are now being blended
that contribute to cleaner air, especially in those areas where air pollution levels are high. These new
blends, sometimes referred to as “reformulated gasoline,” provide a
cleaner burning fuel.
Adding Fuel
Fuel Filler Door Release
The fuel filler door can be opened by
pulling the fuel filler door release lever on the left side of the driver seat.
Fuel Door Release Lever
Fuel Filler Cap
The fuel cap is located on the left side
of the vehicle. If the fuel cap is lost or

Audio System
General Information
The radio will provide excellent reception under most operating conditions. However, like any system, radios have performance limitations. To
help you understand and avoid concern about these possible malfunctions, you must understand how radio
signals are transmitted and received.
Radio Signals
There are two basic types of radio signals:
• AM (Amplitude Modulation), in which
the transmitted sound causes the amplitude, or height of the radio waves
to vary.
• FM (Frequency Modulation), in which
the frequency of the wave is varied
to carry the sound.
AM Reception
AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception can be disrupted by such things as lightning,
power lines and neon signs.
FM Reception
Because FM transmission is based on
frequency variations, interference that
consists of amplitude variations can
be filtered out, leaving the reception
relatively clear, which is the major feature of FM radio.

Fresh Air Filter
Fresh Air Filter Location
The fresh air filter prevents most dust
and pollen from entering the passenger compartment. The filter acts on air
coming from outside the vehicle and
recirculated air within the passenger
compartment. The filter can be
washed periodically as needed.
Air Conditioner System Performance
If your air conditioning performance
seems lower than expected, check the
front of the A/C condenser located in
front of the radiator for an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a
gentle water spray from behind the radiator and through the condenser.
NOTE:
Front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the condenser, reducing
air conditioning performance.
For best air conditioner performance,
select the recirculation mode while
operating the air conditioning system.
Heater System Performance
Heater performance is dependant on
the temperature of the engine coolant.
Therefore, the vehicle must be at
proper operating temperature before
the heating system will perform to its
full potential.

Preparations for Jacking
• Park the vehicle on a firm, level sur-

transaxle, place the vehicle in PARK.
For a manual transmission equipped
vehicle, place the transaxle in REVERSE.
• Turn off the engine.
• Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
• Put wheel blocks at the front and rear

being changed. For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left
rear wheel.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the tire.
