 Once the vehicle is powered on, verify if any warning lights are illuminated on the central control display. After starting the vehicle  If a sharp noise or friction sound (metal "squeaking") is heard when braking during driving, immediately visit an authorized service outlet for check. Precautions for using power batteries  The power battery is positioned at the body's underside. On bumpy roads, drive cautiously to avoid bottoming out and damaging the battery.  To ensure battery longevity and safety, the charging current is adjusted based on the current charge level and battery temperature, resulting in corresponding changes in charging time;  Under normal operating conditions, the pure electric range of the power battery may vary due to factors such as driving habits, road conditions, ambient temperature, and whether the vehicle's electrical systems are activated;  Because of the battery's inherent chemical characteristics, natural capacity degradation occurs over time, reducing the corresponding pure electric range, which is a normal phenomenon; If you notice a significant decrease in pure electric range, promptly visit an authorized service center to verify whether it is within the normal degradation range; Preventative measures for engine exhaust emissions If you detect any exhaust gas odors inside the cabin, promptly check the vehicle; Should you suspect exhaust gases entering the cabin while driving, open all windows and immediately check the vehicle; Unless necessary for movement within indoor or enclosed spaces, do not run the vehicle's engine in unventilated or closed environments such as garages; When the vehicle is parked with the engine running in an open area for extended periods, adjust the ventilation system to draw outside air into the cabin and avoid prolonged sitting inside; Preventive measures for catalytic converters When experiencing engine issues such as abnormal vibrations, unusual tailpipe noise, or noticeable performance drop, promptly visit an authorized service center for check; Modifying any components of the engine or exhaust emission control systems is strictly prohibited; All check and adjustment operations must be performed by authorized service outlets; When the engine stalls or fails to start, repeated attempt to start the engine may cause damage to the exhaust emission control system. With low fuel levels, refrain from extended driving, as gasoline depletion could cause engine misfire or catalytic converter damage; Avoid parking or idling near flammable materials like grass, paper, or leaves; Heat produced by the engine and exhaust system can present a fire hazard; Do not contact exhaust components like tailpipes without protective equipment while the system cools down, due to the risk of high-temperature burns; Failure to adhere to these precautions might result in catalytic converter damage, which is not covered by the warranty;
