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,
we advise you to use the SAE 0W-20 or 0W-30 engine oil

• Clean the windscreen frequently. DO NOT use wipers to remove stubborn or ingrained dirt, it will reduce their
effect and their life span.
• If signs of hardness or cracking in the rubber are found, or if the wipers leave streaks or unwiped areas on the screen,
then the wiper blades should be replaced.
• Clean the windscreen regularly with an approved glass cleaner and ensure the windscreen is thoroughly cleaned
before fitting replacement wiper blades.
• Only fit replacement wiper blades that are identical to the original specification.
• Clean ice and snow from the wipers and ensure they are not frozen or otherwise sticking to the windscreen before
attempting to operate them.
