Vehicle Driving

• Reduce the speed as much as possible. When wheels on both sides (left and right) pass through the flooded area at the same time, do not step on the brake pedal to avoid the vehicle skidding. • Don’t drive in water which is deeper than the limit, or drive in water with a speed higher than walking speed; otherwise the electrical system and retarder may be damaged. • After driving through the water, gently depress the brake pedal repeatedly to restore the brake in normal condition.

Driving in Mud

• Avoid high speed driving and rapid acceleration.

•

Try to avoid using severely worn tires.

• Maintain the vehicle after long distance driving in mud.

Driving on Slope

• When climbing a slope, determine the accelerator pedal depression depth according to the slope and vehicle speed to improve the vehicle's climbing ability.

CAUTION

It is strictly forbidden to coast in neutral gear when driving downhill.

Slippery Garage Driving

• On rainy or humid days, the road surface of a general garage (epoxy floor) may become slippery or even flooded. The adhesion (friction) between the tire and the road surface will drop significantly, making it easy to slip. You should drive carefully, control the vehicle to a low speed as much as possible, leave enough safety distance, and slowly control the acceleration, brake pedal and steering. • If acceleration slippage occurs, there may be a slight push or tail swing. The driver should release the accelerator pedal and hold the steering steady to restore the vehicle's stability. The TCS/ESC function will also help the vehicle restore stability to a certain extent. • If brake pedal slippage occurs, the pedal may bounce. The driver can maintain the brake pedal and hold the steering steady to slow the vehicle down as much as possible. The ABS/ESC function will also control the wheel cylinder brake pedal pressure to a certain extent to avoid wheel locking and make use of road adhesion as much as possible to help slow down the vehicle and restore stability to a certain extent. • If the vehicle slips while turning, there may be a push or tail swing. The driver should release the accelerator pedal, step on the brake pedal, hold the steering wheel steady to slow down the vehicle and restore the vehicle's stability. The ABS/ESC function will also help the vehicle slow down and restore stability to a certain extent.
