Tips
Towing trailer shall not exceed
the maximum rated load of the
two-hook, or it may cause an
accident and severe personal
injury.
As towing a trailer may require
longer braking distance, you shall
keep a larger interval with other
vehicles. For each 10 km/h, the
interval between you car and the
vehicle in front of you shall be no
less than the total length of your
car and the trailer. Avoid hard
braking to prevent the car from
skidding, which may get the car
out of control.
Tire
● Make sure the tire pressure is proper.
Refer to description in section 7-2.
● Taking the total weight of a trailer into
consideration, keep its tires with
proper pressure as specified by its
manufacturer.
Running-in Procedure
● For a new auto or after it undergoes
replacement of driving system parts
(engine, transmission, differential
mechanism, wheel bearing, driving
shaft, etc.), do not tow any trailer in the
first 2000 km travel.
Maintenance
● When towing a trailer, the increased
load requires more frequent
maintenance of the car.
How to Save Fuel and Extend Auto
Service Life
In simple and easy way you can save
fuel. Fuel-saving is also helpful to
extend service life of the car. Here are
some tips on saving fuel and
maintenance expense:
● Maintain proper pressure in tires.
Insufficient tire pressure may cause
excessive tire wear and waste fuel.
Refer to description in section 7-2.
● Do not leave unnecessary articles on
the car. Weight of unwanted articles
will increase engine load and
consume more fuel.
● Avoid engine long time running idle for
warming up. Once the engine running
is stable, you shall speed up the car
stably. Take note that in cold weather
the engine warming up may take
longer time.
● Acceleration shall be slow and stable.
Avoid hard acceleration. Try to shift to
high speed gear as soon as possible.
