Economical and Environment-friendly Driving
The normal operation of the e鄄
mission control system is of great
significance to the environmental
protection. As a result, note the
following items:
Unleaded petrol is a must for the
vehicle fitted with a catalytic con鄄
verter.
No driving is allowed for the vehi鄄
cle fitted with a catalytic con鄄
verter when the fuel tank is com鄄
pletely empty. Irregular fuel sup鄄
ply may lead to misfire and un鄄
burned fuel can enter the ex鄄
haust device, thereby overheat鄄
ing or damaging the catalytic
converter.
The ignition system may be
found faulty if misfire, power re鄄
duction and poor running are
present at the time of driving. In
this case, unburned fuel will enter
the exhaust device and being
discharged eventually. Moreover,
the catalytic converter can be
damaged due to overheating. In
this case, it is a must to slow
down your vehicle and contact
the nearest franchised service
provider for help.
Never overfill engine oil.
Do not drag your vehicle over 50
meters.
Caution:
As the catalytic converter is partic鄄
ularly sensitive to the high temper鄄
ature, park your vehicle away from
inflammable materials.
No supplementary boards or im鄄
pregnating materials are used on
exhaust elbows, exhaust pipes and
the catalytic converter with a view
to avoiding possible fire accidents.
Notes:
Sulfide and other waste gases can
be produced even the catalytic
converter is performing normally,
which depends on the sulphur
content contained in the fuel.
Fuels of other brands or high -
quality unleaded petrol can be
selected where possible.

Economical and Environment-friendly Driving
A wide range of factors dominate
fuel consumption, environmental
pollution and wear for your en鄄
gine, brakes and tires.
Personal Driving Habits
Your driving habits commonly de鄄
termine the driving economy, gas
and noise.
Do not pre -heat your vehicle
while it is stationary.
It will take a long time to preheat
your engine at idle speed, and re鄄
sulting in more wear and haz鄄
ardous particles in particular. In
this case start your vehicle imme鄄
diately after successfully cranking
your engine while avoiding exces鄄
sive running speed.
For instance, the second gear con鄄
sumes as much as twice the fuel
required for the highest gear posi鄄
tion. Additionally, noise can be co-
ntrolled by reducing engine speed.
Avoid maximum vehicle speed as
much as possible.
Driving at maximum speed can
double fuel consumption, waste
gas and noise. According to driv鄄
ing experience, only half fuel is re鄄
quired to run at 3/4 of top speed
- a minimum loss.
Driving your vehicle, as much as
possible, at a constant speed and
in a predicable manner.
Unnecessary speeding up or
braking needs more fuel and lead
to more pollution.
Turn your engine off in a traffic
jam!
Individual driving conditions also
play an important role in determin鄄
ing fuel consumption, for instance:
In case of high traffic density or
driving downtown with a sea of
traffic lights, it requires more en鄄
gine operations.
Driving your vehicle at low-speed
gear and a speed that is relatively
low for unfavorable road conditions.
It is commonly known that fuel
consumption may also be affected
unfavorably by other factors, such
as winter or severe conditions
(Poor road, trailer), which is normal
and acceptable.
