IMPORTANT

• For safety reasons, the bonnet should be closed

well when driving. Therefore you must check after
closing the bonnet that the bonnet is securely
latched, e.g. the bonnet edge is flush with the body
of the car.
• You should stop the car immediately when safety
permits and close the bonnet if it is not closed fully
when driving.
• When releasing the bonnet support rod, note that
the bonnet still needs to be supported reliably by
external force at the moment. Or the bonnet will
fall down accidentally due to its dead weight to cause
vehicle damage or personal injuries.
• Beware of injury to hands while fully closing the

The European Automobile Manufacturers Association
(ACEA) classifies the engine oils based on their
performance and quality. To ensure the best performance
of the vehicle, please use A5/B5 or C5 engine oil
recommended by the manufacturer.
Choose a different viscosity of oil according to the
ambient temperature in which your vehicle is operating. If
temperature range is minimal, continue using the oil with
original viscosity.
In normal temperature, we advise you to use the SAE
5W-30 or 0W-20 engine oil recommended by SAIC Motor.
If you are using your vehicle in an extreme cold region,

then the wiper blades should be replaced.
• Clean the windscreen regularly with an approved glass cleaner and ensure the windscreen is thoroughly cleaned
