Notice
 Do not take the thermostat in
the engine cooling system away;
otherwise, the engine may become too
cold. The thermostat is used for
controlling flow of the coolant so that
the engine temperature can be kept
in the regulated operation range.
 If the engine is too hot, stop
driving immediately. Refer to “If the
auto is too hot” in Section 4.
Engine coolant temperature is too low
If the engine coolant temperature is too low,
the low-temperature warning light will shine;
if the engine temperature drops continually,
the light will continue shining. If the engine
temperature is too low, please pre-heat the
engine and then actuate the automobile.
Speedometer (optional)
The speedometer displays the rotation speed
of the engine by rpm (rounds per minute).
It’s used for selecting the proper shifting
time in driving so as to prevent lug down
and over-speed operation of the engine.
Driving with the engine rotating at
over-speed will lead to over-wear of the
engine and fuel waste.
When the ignition switch is turned to
position “III”, zero-return of the
speedometer dial doesn’t indicate faults.
Notice
 If the dial goes into the red
region, the engine may be severely
damaged.

information:

3．Trip odometer zero-return button——for

and release the button. The display will be
switched from the odometer to the trip
