Safety protection
The car runs at a high rotational speed
as well as high-speed, therefore, while
driving, in order to avoid the
occurance of danger; you should pay
attention to the following matters.
☆ The driver and passengers should
wear safety belt while driving.
☆ Be sure not to drive when drunk.
☆ Comply with the traffic
regulations.
☆ Pay attention to make way for
pedestrian or other vehicles while
the car door is open.
☆ Pay attention to avoid being
burnt and electrical shocked while
inspecting the car. For example
(e.g.): Running engine may lead
to injury, scald and electric shock.
Don‘t touch electrical components;
don‘t touch the high-temperature parts
(such as exhaust system), with the
ignition on.
Environmental protection
The earth is our living homeland; every
one has an unshirkable duty to protect
the environment. Making use of
vehicle accurately and putting varies of
abandoned materials to rational
disposal are critical moves towards
achieving this aim.
☆ You should avoid that the engine
works at unnecessary high
rotational speed. It is
advantageous for economy of fuel,
decrease of noise and
environmental pollution, if you
adopt appropriate moment to
upshift.
☆ Do not treat the waste fuel
container as the domestic garbage,
please have it disposed by your
local Chery authorized waste
disposal institution.
☆ Engine oil, brake fluid,
anti-freeze fluid and tires after
having being used, can only be
disposed by professional waste
disposal institution or you can
consult your Chery Authorized
Service Station for assistance, and
do not treat it as household
rubbish or drain it to the public
drainage system.
Page 9
Brief Indroduction
- 3 -
☆ Battery after having being used
contains sulphur and lead. You
should not abandon it as common
household rubbish. You should
deliver it to local waste material
disposal station for assistance.
☆ Under the circumstance of using
regulated gasoline, you are
recommended to use high-grade
unleaded gasoline.
If your car is equipped with ternary
catalytic converter, please inspect it at
regular intervals, according to local
road and your vehicle‘s condition, to
avoid overexhaust of waste air.
Regulations of break-in period
for new vehicle
The friction resistance of every
components of the new car is much
stronger at the initial stage than that of
normal stage. The future service life,
reliability and economy of your
vehicle shall be largely determined by
break-in result of your new car at
initial stage, therefore, you should use
your new car in accordance with
regulations of break-in period.
Break-in regulations within 1000 km:
* Do not run the engine at full speed.
* Do not drive over 100 km/h
*Avoid full-speed drive for every gear.
Break-in regulations between 1000
km and 1500 km:
You can speed up gradually while
driving; it is OK for the engine
working at top speed in a short time.
Matters needing attention
during new car break-in
period:
You are strictly forbidden to step on
the accelerator, whenever the engine is
cold. It is not good for you to speed up
the engine suddenly. You should start
Page 10
Brief Indroduction
- 4 -
to drive when the coolant temperature
goes up to normal state, otherwise the
engine will be worn at an earlier stage.
The acceptable top engine speed in a
short time is 4000 r/min. In manual
shifting case, you should upshift when
the indicating pointer of the
tachometer gets into the red zone. And
avoid the high-speed running of the
engine. It is advantageous for economy
of fuel, decrease of engine noise and
environmental pollution if you upshift
without delay.
It is not necessary for engine speed
being too low, while normally driving.
It is easy for the engine to accumulate
Carbon if the engine speed is too low
frequently, and furthermore it will
influence the normal use of engine.
It is necessary to drive at low speed,
during the first 100 km. You should
take special care, for the tires of new
car do not have the best friction force
for roadway, which will result in brake
force not enough and brake distance
enlarged.
！ Notice: Drive the vehicle safely
during the first 100 km after replacing
the tires.
Brake friction disc of new car does not
have the best frictional force; therefore
it also needs break-in period. You
should drive cautiously during the first
200 km; heavily apply the brake pedal
with the parking brake depressed.
Drive the vehicle safely!
！Notice: Pay attention to the break-in
period during the first 200 km, after
replacing brake friction disc, and drive
the vehicle safely.
The wheel nuts should be retightened
after the new car driving 800 km.
！Notice: The wheel nuts should be
retightened after driving 800 km, if the
tires have been replaced or the wheel
nuts have been loosened before.

The passengers may be hurt because of
inertia in the event of emergency
braking or a collision, so you should
use safety belt whenever you are
driving. Do not use a single belt for
two or more people simultaneously.
Do not hold hardware or breakables in
clothes keeping close to safety belt,
especially gas lighter. If gas lighter
explodes during process of squeezing,
severe accident maybe take place.
Failure to use safety belt correctly
could lead to severe injury. Do not
reequip safety belt privately, do not
attach any equipment which will
influence the operation of safety belt.
Damaged safety belt could not be used
once more; replace it immediately,
because it maybe hurt you. Avoid
safety belt system being squeezed to
damage by door and seat.
While using the safety belt:
In order to lower the chance of injury,
in the event of emergency braking or a
collision, please use and maintain
safety belt and child restraint system
according to accurate method.
！Notice:
Failure to wear safety belt correctly
could result in personal injury even
death. Place backrest of seat upright as

not disassemble or modify the safety
belt system privately.
Protection of safety belt
Keep the belts always clean and dry.
Avoid safety belt being stained by
polishing compound, oil and chemicals,
especially acid fluid of battery. If the
belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Never use
bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners- they
may severely weaken the belts, result
in hidden trouble of safety. You should
avoid safety belt touching sharp
objects. Check to see if the safety belt
is damaged, at regular intervals;

Child restraint system
You should use suitable child restraint
system if you carry baby or child.
We recommend that you should choose
suitable child type seat installed in
vehicle, in accordance with concrete
weight and height of the child.
Accident statistic material indicates
that it is safer to install children
restraint system in the rear seat, than
the front seat, so we recommend you
had better install the child restraint
system in the rear seat.
！Notice
Baby or little child should be properly
secured in a rear seat, using a child
restraint system. Do not use a rear
–facing child restraint system in the
front seat, because the force of the
rapid inflation of the passenger airbag

the driver and front passenger in case
of collision; reduce injury by inflating
in order to decrease the likelihood of
the driver‘s or front passenger‘s head
or chest hitting the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Night
Day
Page 28
The Need-to-Know before Driving
- 22 -
In a severe frontal collision or collision
from the side, the airbags inflate, they
produce fairly loud noise and release
some smoke, and the smoke is not
harmful. When severe collision occurs,
injury even death maybe occur even if
you wear seat belts, even if the
deployment of airbag is normal, so it is
very important for you to be careful to
drive and pay attention to the safety!
In case of a severe collision, there is no
system can provide overall protection.
After collision, it is impossible for you
to see whether or not the airbag has
inflated with your eyes. In accident
which airbag doesn‘t inflate, the
vehicle body is over damaged, that
means it is not necessary for the airbag
to activate, because the vehicle has
already borne the large amount of
impact force. In other accidents, when
severe collision occurs, such as chassis
collision, it is not in a large scale that
the chassis maybe damaged, but it
maybe results in airbag explosion.
！Notice:
For the safety of all occupants, be sure
to always wear seat belts. The SRS
airbag system is designed only as a
supplement to the primary protection
of seat belt systems of the driver and
front passenger. Do not remove
components of airbag without
permission, doing this may cause
personal injury, do not modify
components of airbag system. It is very
dangerous to modify, remove or open
the safety airbag without permission;
doing so may cause personal injury.
You should have the airbag disposed
and replaced by Chery Authorized
Service Station. Do not put objects on
or in front of the dashboard or steering
wheel pad that houses the airbag
system, they might restrict inflation or
cause personal injury.
The airbag will not work under the
following conditions:
Two vehicles collide with other each,
impact from the side, vehicle rollover
and not enough impact force.
Page 29

Airbag for the driver
The driver‘s airbag is located in the
center flange of steering wheel pad.
The airbag inflate within several
seconds, in order to form a safe buffer
air cushion for the driver. After the
airbag inflate to the full, gas will
disappear, so as not to block field of
vision to the driver, so as not to
influence the driver‘s normal driving.
The SRS airbags will inflate with
considerable speed and force; the
airbag can give full play to its function
if you adjust the driver‘s seat and
backrest properly.
！Notice
Do not repair the steering wheel,
steering axle and airbag without
authorized permission, you should
have these work done by Chery
Special Service Centre.
Front passenger airbag
In some vehicle type, airbag is located
in the frontal instrument panel of front
passenger. This airbag system is big
enough, it will inflate very rapidly, if
front passenger is not in a suitable
position and front passenger don‘t
wear seat belts, it is possible for the
passenger to be hurt severely by the
airbag. Move the seat backward as
possible as you can, and seated
yourself backward as possible as you
can.
！Notice
Do not use a rear-facing child restraint
system in the front seat, because the
force of the rapid inflation of the
passenger airbag may cause severe

Driving Essentials of Vehicle
with Automatic Transmission
under Various Road
Conditions
For small gradient flat roads, it‘s
recommended to use gear D. It can
achieve immediate acceleration
performance by stepping down the
accelerator pedal rapidly.
Stepping down accelerator rapidly:
The driver steps the accelerator pedal
completely rapidly. The effects of
stepping down accelerator rapidly are
to downshift the transmission
mechanism from original gear with the
purpose of increasing the torque before
increasing the speed to higher engine
speed and gear so as to achieve
predominant acceleration capability.
Notice:
1. The vehicle will shock slightly at the
same time when downshift for
acceleration, which is the effects of
forced downshift instead of the engine
acceleration tremble. All above are
related to the rapid stepping down of
accelerator, which are the important
driving essentials the driver must
master.
2. It‘s difficult to downshift for
acceleration if stepping down the
accelerator slowly. If stepping down
the accelerator to the half or two third
Page 51
Starting up and Operating
- 45 -
of stroke, it‘s impossible to obtain
sufficient acceleration horsepower
(torque), even though it can obtain the
increasing of some horsepower
(torque).That‘s the cause why the
customers complained low horsepower
during driving. In addition, when
stepping down the accelerator slowly
for acceleration, the engine tremble
will even get bigger. Therefore, it
should be avoided.
3. For the roads with medium gradient,
it‘s recommended to use gear 3 or gear
2 under manual mode. It can obtain
immediate acceleration performance
by stepping down the accelerator
rapidly *.
4. For the roads with large gradient,
please use gear 1 * under manual mode
and do not use gear D. It can obtain
immediate acceleration performance
by stepping down the accelerator
rapidly.
5. The driver should shift to gear 2 or
gear D manually for normal driving
based on the variation of gradient,
instead of using gear 1 during entire
journey. The long period use of gear 1
instead of shifting to the gear D for
normal driving may damage the
transmission, which should be
specially noticed.
During the downward slopes, the long
period of sustained braking may result
the weakening of the brake
performance due to the brake
overheating. At that time, the engine
brake * should be fully utilized to slow
the vehicle.
6. The engine brake refers to brake
effects achieved through the engine
deceleration and gear ratio of low gear
when shift the transmission to low gear
during driving and release the
accelerator pedal.
7. The lower the gear is, the better the
engine brake effects is.
! Notice: During the high speed
driving of the vehicle, the shift to
the low gear will apply great
impact on the engine and the
transmission, which may result
the damage of engine and
Page 52

- 46 -
transmission. The low gear can be
shifted to only when the vehicle
speed is lowered to the speed
allowed for downshift.
On the downward slopes with much
big gradient, please use the manual
gearshift mode and shift to the lowest
gear before the downward slopes in
order to achieve max brake effects.
Operation of manual
transmission
This vehicle is equipped with full
synchronous mechanical transmission,
used for front wheel driving. There are
6 gears in all: 5 are forward band, and
1 is reverse gear.
When you step on the clutch pedal, the
vehicle disconnect the drive between
two shafts, release the clutch, connect
suitable gear, step on the accelerator,
you can drive. While gear changing,
step on the clutch pedal completely,
the whole process of gearshift will
finish. If it is downshift, after you step
on the clutch pedal, shift the lever to
neutral gear, then shift to
corresponding low-speed gear, release
the clutch pedal, downshift can be
done.
Operation of hand brake
In order to avoid vehicle unexpected
moving, you should pull the brake
lever tightly upward, after parking.
·With the ignition on, the brake
warning light will be on if you pull
hand brake up.
· Pull hand brake lever upward if you
want to use hand brake.
· Slightly pull hand brake lever upward,

push releasing button of lever top
down if you want to release hand
brake.
·Hand brake is used for rear wheel
parking.
·It is easy for you to pull the hand
brake up if you step on brake pedal
while pulling the hand brake up.
！Notice: Be sure to pull hand brake up,
before you leave the vehicle.
Braking system
The movement of every pedal should
not have any resistance, so you should
be sure not to put anything easy to roll
over or slide on in that very space.
·Brake pedal travel may be enlarged if
there is something wrong with the
braking system.
·Under any circumstances, clutch pedal
and accelerator should be stepped on
to the full.
·For the above-mentioned reasons, you
had better not put pad or other things
on the pedal surrounding floor, if
indeed necessary, you should be sure
that the pad will not obstruct
movement of the pedals and the pad
should not be sliding easily.
Operation guide
·New brake gasket cannot be in the
best braking condition, until it passes
the break-in period. In the first 200km,
braking performance is not in very
good condition, under this
circumstance, you can recover braking
effect, only by means of depressing the
pedal greatly; it is applicable for the
new gasket after replacement.
·There may be something wrong with
dual return circuit braking system, if
Page 54
Starting up and Operating
- 48 -
the pedal travel is enlarged
immediately. At this time, the vehicle
can still have braking performance, if
you depress the pedal, and the braking
distance will enlarge.
·Check brake fluid level at regular
intervals, according to the request.
·Brake gasket wear mainly due to
driving style, as to vehicle mainly used
in urban driving, working condition of
brake gasket is rather harsh, for
frequent starting and parking. So, you
should be sure to have the disc
checked or replaced by Chery
Authorized Service Station, according
to the regulated mileage in the
maintenance manual.
·While driving down the hill, you
should make full use of engine braking
performance, downshift when
necessary, give the braking system less
pressure. At this time, you should not
continue to step on the brake pedal,
even if braking is needed.
· After driving through water,
rainstorm or vehicle being washed, the
brake gasket is wet or frozen, braking
performance will be obviously
weakened, at this time, you should step
on the brake pedal slightly, let brake
gasket and brake disc touching
together to generate heat, in order to
let the moisture evaporate and recover
the braking performance.
·After driving on road containing salt,
the salt will be adhesive on surface of
brake disc or brake gasket, resulting in
braking performance is not good, so
you should clean the salt off in time.
！Notice
If your vehicle is equipped with the
front spoiler, you should ensure the air
to front brake unblocked, otherwise the
braking system may be overheated
because of friction.
·It indicates ABS is in self-check mode
and ABS system works normally, if the
warning light is on first, after several
seconds, it is off, while the vehicle
with ABS system is started.
·It is normal that the motor makes
some sound and the pedal vibrates
Page 55
Starting up and Operating
- 49 -
after ABS is assisting the braking
performance.
·Do not step on the pedal repeatedly
while ABS is assisting braking
performance, for ABS system will
adjust braking pressure more quickly
than you.
·Do not forget steering, in order to
avoid front obstacles, while ABS is
assisting braking performance.
· ABS warning light will be on if there
is something wrong with ABS system,
at this time, conventional braking
performance is still exist, but you
should have the vehicle checked by
Chery Authorized Service Station, as
soon as possible.
Brake servo unit
The brake servo unit usually use
vacuum to work, this apparatus work
only when the engine is working, so
you should not turn the engine off
while driving down a hill.
If there is something wrong with the
vehicle and vacuum servo, vacuum
tube damage or leakage, or one-way
valve damage, the brake servo unit can
not work; you should depress the pedal
greatly to recover the supplement
performance of the brake servo unit.
Brake fluid
Brake fluid tank is mounted on the left
side of engine compartment.
Check brake fluid level
Brake fluid level should accord with
the regulations, in order to satisfy
demand of brake system and ensure
driving safely. The level should be
between ―MAX‖ and ―MIN‖ lines.
Braking system of Chery vehicle is
equipped with friction gasket braking
adjustment mechanism, this
mechanism can adjust the clearance
automatically after the gasket being
Page 56
Starting up and Operating
- 50 -
worn, therefore, the brake fluid level
may be lowered during process of use,
it is normal, do not worry, but the level
is obvious lowered or fluid leaks in a
short time, you should have braking
system checked and repaired by Chery
Authorized Service Station, as soon as
possible.
Replacement of brake fluid
Brake fluid has hygroscopicity, it will
absorb moisture during process of use
successively, if brake fluid contains
too much moisture, braking system
will be damaged, at the same time,
boiling point of brake fluid will be
lowered, it will severely influence
braking effect and safety. For the
above-mentioned causes, you should
replace the brake fluid every 2 years or
having driven 5000 km.
！Notice: Brake fluid is poisonous! Be
sure to store it in the original sealing
container; keep it away from children.
Brake fluid is corrosive to the body
paint!
Brake fluid disposal is a very
professional work, SST is necessary,
and so you had better have it replaced
by Chery Authorized Service Station.
Parking
·With the brake pedal pressed down,
fully depress the parking brake pedal
to apply the parking brake securely.
· Shift the selector lever to neutral gear
if you park the vehicle on the level
surface; shift the selector lever to
reverse gear if you park the vehicle
down the hill; shift the selector lever to

flammable objects around the vehicle
such as grassland or straws. The
vehicle may unexpectedly move while
being parked, therefore: 1. Fully
depress the parking brake pedal to
apply the parking brake securely.2.
Park the vehicle on solid road. 3. Do
not make the vehicle aligned while
parking on the slope.4. Using parking
brake will cause rear brake damage
while driving.5. Parking brake maybe
frozen on cold weather, if the vehicle
fords water while driving (brake
components get wet) or vehicle being
washed, it is easy for this circumstance
to occur. If the rear brake is frozen,
you should:
1. Pull up the parking brake pedal;
shift the selector lever to gear 1 or
reverse gear.
2. Lock up the rear wheel, in order to
avoid vehicle moving.
3. Release the parking brake.
4. Drive the vehicle slowly for a while.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
The anti-lock brake system is a kind of
advanced electric braking system, it
can prevent vehicle from sliding while
braking.
The anti-lock brake system is designed
to automatically prevent lock-up of the
wheels during sudden braking or
braking on slippery road surfaces. This
assists in providing directional stability
and steering performance of the
vehicle under these circumstances.
The anti-lock brake system becomes
operative after the vehicle has
accelerated to a speed, it stops
operating when the vehicle decelerates
to a speed, and ABS makes use of
sensor to react the speed difference.
The system inspects the locked wheel
speed being at hand, and has
corresponding brake force under
control through electric signal.
―ABS‖ warning light will come on
when the ignition key is turned to the
―ON‖ position. After several seconds,
the light will go off. If the light comes
on while you are driving or the light
remains on when the ignition key is
turned to the ―ON‖ position, it warns
that there is a problem somewhere in
your anti-lock brake system. Even if
Page 58
Starting up and Operating
- 52 -
the anti-lock brake system should fail,
the brake system will still operate
conventionally. Contact your Chery
Authorized Service Station as soon as
possible.
Braking with anti-lock brake
system
You may feel the brake pedal pulsating
and hear a noise, in this situation, let
the anti-lock brake system work for
you, just hold the brake pedal down
more firmly, whatever the road surface
conditions are.
ABS system is designed to maintain
maximum braking effect, by means of
adjusting braking pressure of every
wheel, at the same time, this assists in
providing directional stability and
steering performance of the vehicle.
You may hear a sound along with
slight vibration. This means that the
anti-lock brake system is working
normally.
In case of emergency, when the
anti-lock brake system function is in
action, put forth your strength to step
on brake pedal and clutch pedal, doing
this will have the steering system fully
under control.
We recommend you should go up with
the ABS brake technique as soon as
possible, in order to provide better
braking capacity for your vehicle.
ABS self check
The anti-lock brake system is in the
self-check mode, when the engine is
started.
You may hear a slight mechanical
sound, while the anti-lock brake
system is in the self-check mode, and
does not indicate a malfunction.
！Notice:
Parking distance changes much
considerable, according to road and
driving condition, therefore: 1. Always
maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. 2. Avoid high
speeds on wet or slippery road.
The anti-lock brake system cannot
overcome accident resulting from
Page 59
Starting up and Operating
- 53 -
careless or incorrect operation,
therefore: 1. You should be careful to
drive. 2. Decelerate while making a
turn. 3. Press the brake pedal firmly
and remain on.
If the ―ABS‖ warning light comes on
while you are driving, it warns that
there is a problem somewhere in your
anti-lock brake system. Therefore:
1. Parking the car and contact your
Chery Authorized Service Station as
soon as possible.
2. Before driving, have the system
checked by professional personnel.
Steering system
Power steering oil tank is located on
the left and front side of engine
compartment, near the battery.
Maximum steering angle of the left
front wheel is: 30º
Maximum steering angle does not
exceed 40.0°
Driving through water
Drive the vehicle cautiously and
slowly, if you have to drive through
water, especially you do not know
condition of the water.
！Notice: Do not drive forward, if the
water floods the rims.
While driving through water, the
parking brake will not hold the vehicle
securely, the vehicle is hard to be
towed, and furthermore, the vehicle
has a possibility of going out.
Water entering the intake pipe of
engine may cause severe damage to
the engine. If you drive through deep
water; water will enter the
transmission through the vent, causing
damage to the transmission.
While driving through water, be sure
to drive the vehicle slowly while
lightly pressing the brake pedal for
several times, to dry the brakes, for the
brakeage will be weakened if the
brakes are wet.
Ternary catalytic converter
Leaded gasoline is harmful to the
catalytic converter and electrical
Page 60
Starting up and Operating

control system, do not use leaded
gasoline.
In the case of vehicle with catalytic
converter, fuel filler port of fuel tank is
too small for the leaded gasoline filler
gun to insert.
！Notice
Do not use leaded gasoline, in order to
avoid damaging the catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter and vehicle
may be damaged if you do not observe
the following tips:
· If the engine can not start, the engine
works abnormally after cold starting,
engine power is not in good
condition or any other abnormal
phenomenon indicating ignition
system malfunction occurs, you
should drive at low engine speed in
a short time.
You should avoid:
·Frequently cold start the engine.
·Working hour of engine is too long,
while restarting (fuel injecting hour, in
starting stage, is postponed)
·The fuel tank becomes empty
(abnormal fuel supply will result in
engine overheated)
·Start the engine by means of towing
(unburn gasoline will enter the
catalytic converter)
Have all maintenance work done by
Chery Authorized Service Station. All
components of electrical control
system, injecting system and ignition
system work normally, will reduce
emission pollution and extend catalytic
converter life.
Recommended operation to
save fuel
How to save fuel mainly depends on
your operation mode.
Here are some specific tips on how to
save fuel as possible as you can:
·Start driving steadily, accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
·Avoid engine idling
·Do not use air conditioning, unless it
is necessary.
Page 61
Starting up and Operating
- 55 -
· Drive at low speed on uneven road
surface.
· Keep your tires inflated at the correct
pressure, in order to avoid wasting fuel,
in order to make the tire last longer.
· Keep a proper distance from other
vehicles, to avoid sudden braking,
doing so can reduce wear on your
braking friction discs. (You can save
fuel because it is not necessary for you
to refuel for acceleration)
·Do not carry unneeded weight in your
vehicle.
·Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal, this causes unnecessary wear,
even damage the brakes and causes
greater fuel consumption.
Electrical Cruise Control
System ( )
In order to relieve the burden of
driver to step down the accelerator and
on the condition that it‘s allowed by
the engine power, the cruise control
system can drive the vehicle stably at
certain approximate speed above 45
km/h.
！Note: It‘s not allowed to use the
cruise control system in heavy traffic
regions and under adverse driving
conditions (such as driving on smooth
roads, the vehicle skid condition or fast
rolling condition).During the working
of cruise control system, do not shift to
the idle running status unless the
clutch pedal is stepped down;
otherwise the engine will run at high
speed or even may be damaged.
The cruise control system can be
started only when at ―D‖, ―3‖ and ―2‖
gear. If shifted to other gear (―P‖, ―R‖,
―N‖ or ―1‖) during the driving, then
the last saved speed will be cleared and
the cruise control system will by fully
turned off.
The operation of slide switch A and
button switch B on the handle by
means of the turn signal and the
alternating signal can operate the
cruise control system.

Speed Setup
If the vehicle has reached the desired
speed, press the slide switch once
towards ―O/I‖ direction. At that time,
the cruise indicator light in the
instrument cluster will flash and at
the same time press ―+‖ or ―-― once on
the switch B to enter into cruise system.
Then the driver may remove the foot
from the accelerator pedal.
Also, driver can increase the vehicle
speed by stepping down the accelerator
pedal as driver would normally. After
the accelerator pedal is released, the
cruise control system will control the
vehicle to drive stably at the preset
speed.
If the period when the vehicle speed is
above the preset speed more than
10km/h exceeded 5 min, then the
originally preset speed will fail and the
cruise speed must be re-set.
Notice:
If the saved speed is not high enough
compared with current traffic
conditions, then the cruise speed
should be re-set.
Deceleration Setup
It can change the speed setting by
pressing the button switch B.
Each press of button B towards
"-‖ direction will decrease the cruise
speed by 1.5 km/h. If sustained for
certain period, the cruise system will
decrease the cruise speed by reducing
the accelerator opening automatically.
After the button B is released, the
cruise speed setting will be saved.
Button switch B
Button switch A

If the button B is released, the
memory will be cleared if the cruise
speed is lower than 45 km/h. It can
re-set the vehicle speed by means of
slide switch A only when the vehicle
speed is increased to above 45 km/h.
Acceleration Setup
Each press of button B towards
"+‖ direction will increase the cruise
speed by 1.5 km/h. If sustained for
certain period, the cruise system will
increase the cruise speed by increasing
the accelerator opening automatically.
After the button B is released, the
cruise speed setting will be saved.
Temporary Turn-Off and
Resumption
It can temporarily turn off the cruise
control system by means of stepping
down the brake pedal or pushing the
slide switch towards ―O/I‖ direction
(not to limit position). After the
brake pedal or slide switch is released,
if the vehicle speed is above 45 km/h,
push the slide switch A towards the
―RES‖ direction for the driving at
constant speed in accordance with the
preset vehicle speed. If the vehicle
speed is lower than 45 km/h, step the
accelerator pedal to increase the
vehicle speed to 45 km/h before push
the slide switch A towards the ―RES‖
direction and then the vehicle will
drive at constant speed in accordance
with the preset vehicle speed.
Turn Off
When the vehicle is under cruise status,
push the slide switch towards ―O/I‖

Operating tips
In order to cool off your Chery after it
has been exposed in the sun, you
should open the window before turning
on the air conditioning system.
Refrigeration of cooling system may
be not enough because of frequent
parking and braking, while you drive
in heavy traffic area. If you have not
used the air conditioning system for
one month or more than one month,
you should turn on the air conditioning
at least once a month run it for minutes
with the engine idling to maintain the
lubrication and sealability of the
compressor and prolong the service
life of the whole system.
The compressor of air conditioning
does not work when the airblower is
turned off.
Make sure the air intake grilles in front
of the windshield are not blocked by
ice, snow and leaves, which ensures
heating and ventilation system work
normally.
It is normal that there could be
condensed water from the drainpipe of
evaporator when the ambient
temperature and humidity are high. We
recommend that you should keep away
from the cold air.
Economic Operation of air
conditioning system
While refrigerating, the compressor of
air conditioning consumes power of
the engine, causing greater fuel
consumption. In order to minimize the
running time of air conditioning
system, you should pay attention to the
following matters:
1. To cool off your Chery after it has
been exposed in the sun, you should
open the windows or doors for a short
time, which vents the hot air and allow
the air conditioning to cool the interior
more quickly.
2. Do not turn on the air conditioning
system while driving with the window
open.
