The deployment of airbags does not depend on the vehicle
speed, but on the object that the vehicle hits, angle of
impact and the rate at which the car changes speed as a
result of a collision. When the impact force of collision
is absorbed or dispersed to vehicle body, airbags may not
deploy; however, airbags may sometimes deploy according
to impact condition. Therefore, the deployment of airbags

Avoid roads with traffic congestion or traffic jams. Foresee
road congestion as early as possible and keep enough
distance to the front car during driving, and slow down
in time. Avoid stamping on the brake pedal for long
time if there is no braking need, which will cause friction
plate overheating and premature wear and increase fuel
consumption.                                                                                                              4
Switch off the Engine when Waiting in Traffic
When the car is stationary for several minutes or more,
and provided it is safe to do so, switch off the engine. The
impact on the environment of starting the engine again will
be less than the effect of allowing the engine to idle for a
long time.

Driving through Puddles
Minimize driving through puddles or streams. After driving
through waters, please slightly depress the brake pedal to
confirm the braking performance is normal. Wet brake

Transmission Failure
When the transmission has some faults, the engine
emission malfunction indicator lamp in the instrument pack
illuminates. When some faults occur, the transmission
will enter Limp Mode and the vehicle will only function in
some gears; while in individual cases it may fail to reverse.
If some severe functional malfunctions occur, the vehicle
will be inoperative.

Folding the rear seats can increase luggage space, refer to
"Rear Seat" in "Seats and Restraints" chapter.
When cargo is loaded in the vehicle, place it at a position
as low as possible and ensure that it is tightly secured, so as
to avoid personal injury caused by cargo movement when
traffic accidents or emergency brakes occur. If the cargo
has to be put on a seat, no individual is allowed to sit on
that seat.

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

 • Grease, silicon and petroleum products impair the blade's wiping capability. Clean the wiper blades in warm soap
   water, and check their status periodically.
 • 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.
