2.2 Occupant restraint system
2.2.1 Sitting correctly

The seat and its occupant restraint system have been designed to reduce personal injury to a minimum in the event of an accident. For optimum effectiveness, the following points should be observed.

  • Do not position the seat nearer to the steering wheel than it is necessary.
  • Do not over-recline the seat. Adjust the seat backrest to no more than 30° so that you can sit in an upright position with your arms slightly bent, and the base of your spine as far back as possible.
  • Your headrest should be adjusted so that its center is level with the back of your head, not your neck.
  • Diagonal belt should lie across the center of your shoulder (adjust its height if necessary) while lap strap fit tightly across the hips, not the abdomen.
2.2.2 Seat belts
warning

Improperly wearing or using seat belts may cause serious personal injury or death. Seat belts are life saving equipment. In a collision, unrestrained occupants may collide anywhere inside the vehicle or be possibly thrown out, resulting in injury to themselves or to other occupants. When riding in a vehicle, the driver and any adult (or any adult sized child) must always wear the seat belt.

Do NOT slacken the webbing by pulling the belt away from your body. To be fully effective, the webbing must remain tightly around your body at all times.

Avoid wearing thick, bulky clothing. Put the shoulder belt of seat belt across the center of the shoulder and the lap belt close to the body to go over the hips. Strictly prohibit the use of slack and twisted seat belts, and seat belts can not be twisted to wear

Never use a seat belt for more than one adult, and never use it to secure an additional object or a child.

Each seat belt can only be used by one occupant. It's dangerous to wrap a seat belt around a child in the occupant arms.

When wearing a seat belt, ensure that it is not twisted or slack. Otherwise the smooth operation of the belt may be impeded. The buckle release button must face outwards.


warning

Do not allow a baby or infant to be carried on the lap. The force of a crash can increase effective body weight, making it impossible to hold onto the child.

Do not allow foreign matters (particularly sugary food and drinks) to enter the seat belt bucklesuch substances may render the buckle inoperative.

If the seat belt has been used in a serious accident, or is seriously worn, or has been cut, or the visual load meter shows that the seat belt is no longer available, or the seat belt is a pretensioning seat belt with the pretensioner triggered, the seat belt assembly must be replaced.

Pregnant women should ask their doctor for advice about the safest way to wear seat belts.

A seat belt must not be altered or modified in any way, since such changes may render the belt ineffective.

Do not attempt to dismantle, repair or lubricate the retractor or buckle mechanisms.

Each seat belt is fitted with a retractor. When the seat belt is pulled out slowly, the retractor can ensure that the seat belt is retracted freely. But if the seat belt is pulled out too fast or under a sudden impact (a sudden deceleration, acceleration, sharp turn), the seat belt will be locked. See "Seat belts" in Maintenance and Service section for the specific inspection methods.

warning

When the seat belt is not used, be sure to retract the seat belt webbing completely, straighten the webbing and put the tongue in place, and keep the webbing and tongue clean to prevent dust and impurities.

Be careful to avoid the erosion of webbing by polishing agents, oils and chemicals (especially battery acid). It can be cleaned safely with mild soap and water. After wear, erosion or damage of the webbing occurs, the seat belt assembly should be replaced.

The driver seats and front occupant seats of the vehicles of this series can be configured with adjustable nonpretensioning force-limiting seat belts and adjustable dual pretensioning force-limiting seat belts; the 2nd row occupant seats may be configured with non-pretensioning non-forcelimiting seat belts and pretensioning force-limiting seat belts; the 3rd row seats may be configured with threepoint belts.

warning

Insert the tongue into the buckle until a distinct click is heard, which indicates the belt is locked.


Seat belt with pretensioner (shoulder belt pretensioner)

2.2.3 Seat belt pretensioner
warning

Do not damage or repair a pretensioner. It contains an ignition device, so that any maintenance can only be carried out by Our Service Dealer.

Pretensioners will not function after activation and must be replaced. In the event of a collision, ensure that the pretensioner and all seat belt components have been maintained by Our Service Dealer.

The seat belt pretensioner works together with the airbag to reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.

2.2.4 Airbag(s)
warning

No safety system can provide complete protection for personal injury or death in a severe crash. Injuries or death can occur, even if seat belts are worn properly and the airbags are inflated.

After inflation some airbag components are hot - Do NOT touch until they have cooled. An airbag is inflated with considerable force and can cause facial abrasions and other injuries. These effects can be minimized by ensuring that you and your occupant(s) are wearing seat belts. The driver seat should be adjusted to be as far rearwards as possible while maintaining the proper control of the vehicle. Always hold the steering wheel by its rim, so that the airbag can be inflated without obstruction.

Always hold the steering wheel by its rim, so that the airbag can be inflated without obstruction.

Never attach accessory items e.g. a mobile phone bracket, cup holder, cassette tray, etc. to the steering wheel cover or the airbag module cover of the dashboard, or stick/insert anything to an airbag module cover. Otherwise, these objects could interfere with inflation of the airbag, or after the airbag is inflated, they will be propelled into the vehicle to cause injury to occupants.


warning

Do not allow an occupant to obstruct the deployment of the airbag by putting feet, knees, etc. in contact with, or in close proximity to the airbag module cover of the dashboard.

It is forbidden to put the seat cover and other related decorative seat items that affect the deployment of seat airbags on the seats equipped with seat airbags.

Do not modify the seats equipped with seat airbags at will.

Do not paste any sharp objects on A, B, C and D pillars of the vehicle at will, and modify A, B, C and D pillars, so as to avoid injuries to occupants during the operation of airbags.

The seat belt pretensioner works together with the airbag to reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.

Do not attempt to remove or pierce the steering wheel, or hit it violently.

Do not allow another person, animal or object to occupy the space between the driver and the deploying range of the airbag. The same applies on the occupant side if an airbag is fitted.

Do not attempt to maintain the steering wheel, steering column, any airbag system or pretensioner component, or the airbag components with wiring around. Otherwise, it could cause inadvertent activation of the system resulting in personal injury.

warning

Do not modify the front of the vehicle in any way as this could adversely affect airbag deployment. If the vehicle is to be scrapped, undeployed airbags are potentially dangerous and should be deployed before scrapping. This operation must be done by professional staff.

This vehicle can be equipped with the driver airbag, front occupant airbag, driver side airbag, front occupant side airbag, driver seat far-end side airbag and side air curtain.

note

Both the airbag and the pretensioner are supplementary protection device, while the seat belt is still the main protection device and must be worn during driving.


caution
  • When an airbag is triggered, a loud noise may be heard and a small amount of smoke-like gas and dust will be released. This smoke does not constitute a health hazard. The dust may be an irritant to the skin and therefore should be washed off with soap and water.
  • For safety reasons you are recommended to have the airbag(s) renewed by Our Service Dealer every 10 years. If the vehicle is sold, its owner is obliged to notify the purchaser of the cautions and warnings listed. This obligation is met by handing over these instructions (See Warranty & Service Handbook) to the new owner.

Airbag and pretensioner check

warning

After the vehicle is powered on, if the warning light is not turned on or not turned off after about 6 seconds, or turned on when driving, it indicates that the seat belt pretensioner or the airbag is faulty. Contact Our Service Dealer for service as soon as possible.

Each time the vehicle is powered on, the "airbag warning light (red)"mg-m9 will illuminate for about 6 seconds, which indicates that the airbag and seat belt pretensioner inspection is in progress; it goes off after about 6 seconds, which indicates that the airbag and seat belt pretensioner are normal.

Airbag deployment

warning

Incorrect sitting posture or sitting or resting on the place close to the airbag will result in serious and even fatal injuries when the airbag is deployed.

In order to reduce the injuries caused during the airbag deployment, the seat belt must be always worn properly. The driver and front occupant must have a good sitting posture, and adjust their seat positions to enable them to be far enough away from the front airbag, so as to avoid causing serious injury or death when the airbag is deployed. For vehicles equipped with side airbags and side air curtains, it is also important to ensure that upper extremities are far enough away from the side of the vehicle, avoiding injuries due to airbag deployment.

When the airbag is deployed, children not properly protected may suffer serious injury and even death.

Do not hold a child in your arms or put the child on your lap when riding on a vehicle.

Do not allow children to ride on a vehicle without protection, and it is prohibited to stick any part of the body out of the window

The airbag deployment may cause body surface abrasion or bruise or burns due to explosion.


warning

There must be no obstacle in the airbag inflation channel. It is prohibited to place any object between the occupant and the airbag. It is prohibited to fix or place any object on the steering wheel cover or the frontal airbag cover of instrument cluster and its vicinity. It is prohibited to place accessories around the airbag system. If there is obstacle between the occupant and the airbag, the airbag may not be properly inflated, or squeeze the obstacle into the body of occupant, causing serious injury or death.

Do not knock on or crash the airbag or positions of relevant components, to avoid causing serious injury or death due to airbag deployment.

When it is deployed, some airbag components are hot, so do not contact it before cooling down.

In case of crash, airbag control module detects speed change caused by crash to determine airbag deployment. The airbag will deploy instantaneously and powerfully with a loud noise. When the vehicle is subject to serious front crash, fully deployed airbag along with properly worn seat belt can limit the movement of the driver and the front occupant, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the head and chest. For vehicles equipped with side airbags and side air curtains, if the side of vehicle is seriously crashed, fully deployed side airbag will form an air cushion between the occupant and the side of vehicle, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the side of occupant body

When you are sitting upright in the seat and leaning against the seat backrest, the seat belt and the airbag can provide the most effective protection. In case of a serious crash, the airbag deploys violently. At this moment, if you or other occupant does not properly use the seat belt, and tilts the body forward, reclines or has other incorrect posture, the possibility of serious injury or death in an accident will be high.

caution
  • The airbag cannot protect the lower part of occupant body
  • The airbag is not designed for rear collision or slight frontal impact or vehicle overturn, and it does not work during the emergency braking.
  • Airbag deployment and contraction are completed in a very short time, and will not provide protection from effects of possible subsequent second impact
  • Upon deployment, the airbag will shrink immediately to ensure the driver could look forward without block.

warning

The structure and material of seat is critical for the operation of airbag. Therefore, do not install the seat cover, which will affect the deployment of side airbag.

In case of serious side impact, the front seat side airbag on the side subject to impact will pop out from the seat cover and deploy rapidly. The side airbag on the side not subject to impact will not deploy. The side airbag will deploy under any of the following situations or similar situations.


  • Side impact occurs between the vehicle and the general occupant car at a relatively high speed.
mg-m9

Side air curtain

In case of serious side impact, the side air curtain on the side subject to impact will pop out from the headliner and deploy rapidly. The side air curtain on the side not subject to impact will not deploy. The side air curtain will deploy under any of the following situations or similar situations.

  • Side impact occurs between the vehicle and the general occupant car at a relatively high speed.
mg-m9

Conditions for airbag undeployment

Airbag will deploy based on the crash object, direction and vehicle deceleration caused by crash rather than vehicle speed.

When the impact force of crash is absorbed or dispersed on the vehicle body, the airbag may not deploy; but based on the impact condition during the accident, the airbag may sometimes explode. Therefore, damage severity of vehicle shall not be considered as the judgment of airbag deployment.

warning

The airbag system could be damaged due to a collision accident. Thus the airbag system cannot operate normally to protect you and occupants in future collision accidents resulting in serious injury even death. To ensure the airbag system remains valid after a collision accident, consult Our Service Dealer to make inspection and necessary replacement of components.

Once the airbag is inflated, it is required to replace the components of the airbag system. Contact Our Service Dealer for service as soon as possible.

Event data recorder (EDR)

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main function of EDR is to record the data of vehicle movement and safety system status within a short time during collision or near collision, which can be used to reproduce the state of the vehicle before, during and after collision, such as vehicle speed, accelerator pedal opening, and brake pedal depth. The EDR data extraction tool reads data based on the 11-bit CAN identifier, and reads the EDR data by using the 2216 "Reading data service by data identifier" service in 11.2 of ISO 14229-1:2020 by means of physical addressing. The data can be read from the airbag controller with our dedicated after-sales scan tool. You can log in to the corresponding link of our official website to purchase the EDR data reader.


2.2.5 Child restraints (not available with the vehicle)

General points relating to child seat

2.3 Braking System
2.3.1 Service brake

Dual brake hydraulic system

warning

A failure in one of the hydraulic pipelines will be indicated by illumination of the "braking system warning light (red)" on the instrument cluster while driving; it will result in increased brake pedal travel and effort, longer braking distance and may cause the vehicle to pull to one side. Do not pump the brake pedal in an attempt to restore pedal pressure. If there is pressure failure in one of the brake pipelines, the cause must be investigated. IMMEDIATELY bring the vehicle carefully to a halt. Immediately contact Our Service Dealer for service. Do NOT continue driving.

Should one of the hydraulic pipelines fail the other circuit will continue to function.

General state

warning

Always ensure that floor mats or other objects do not disturb brake pedal movement.

Never rest your foot on the brake pedal as this may overheat the brakes, reduce their efficiency and cause excessive wear. If brake pads/shoes have worn excessively, a squealing or screeching noise will be heard when the brakes are applied, and braking efficiency will be affected. Contact Our Service Dealer for service as soon as possible.

If the motor stops running due to some causes, brake booster will stop working after 2 pedal operations; to achieve the expected brake effect, a larger force shall be applied on the pedal. In these circumstances the braking distance may be longer.

If the vehicle is not in regular use or is garaged for long periods, the efficiency of the braking system could be impaired. Contact Our Service Dealer for service as soon as possible.


Wet state

warning

Driving in heavy rain and slushy roads will considerably reduce braking efficiency. At this time, keep safe distance from other vehicles and gently depress the brake pedal intermittently to dry the brake friction components. In severe wet weather, this drying process may need to be repeated every few miles.

In winter, ice can form or salt may accumulate on the brake pads and discs. Ice and salt accumulation will be cleaned off after intermittently light applications of the brake pedal.

Descending steep hills

warning

Overheating the brakes will reduce braking efficiency and may also cause the vehicle to pull to one side.


2.3.2 ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)

ABS is used to prevent the road wheels from locking under emergency braking, thereby helping you maintain steering control. No special driving technique is needed.

Under normal braking (where sufficient road surface friction exists to prevent wheel lock), the ABS will not be activated.

An integral feature of this braking system is Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), which is used to optimize the braking force at the rear wheels under full load condition.

Important rules for emergency brake with ABS On:

  1. Fully depress the brake pedal.
  2. Bypass the obstacle. No matter how much brake force is used, you can always maintain the control on direction.

ABS Function

warning

ABS may not be able to shorten the brake distance, depending on road surface conditions, brake distance may vary significantly. In fact, when the vehicle without ABS drives on some roads (e.g., gravel road or snowy road), the brake distance may be shorter.

ABS cannot overcome the physical limitations of stopping your vehicle in too short a distance, cornering at high speed, or aquaplaning, i.e. where a layer of water prevents adequate contact between the tyres and the road surface.

ABS must never tempt you to take risks that could affect your safety or that of other road users. You still have a duty to drive within normal safety margins, having due consideration for the road surface, weather and traffic conditions.

If the braking force you use exceeds the available adhesion between the tyres and the road, causing one or more wheels to be locked, then ABS will automatically come into operation.

You will hear the sound of a rapid pulsation which will also be felt through the brake pedal.


When braking in an emergency, always depress full force to the brake pedal, even if the road surface is slippery. ABS is activated; it constantly monitors the speed of each wheel and varies the braking pressure to each according to the amount of friction available.

This prevents the wheels from locking and enables steering control to be maintained.

Precautions for driving a vehicle with ABS

  • In an emergency braking situation, depress full force to the brake pedal.
  • Under normal braking, apply steady pressure to the brake pedal - DO NOT PUMP IT
  • Remember that steering control will always be available during braking.
  • The availability of ABS does not eliminate the dangers of driving too close to the vehicle in front, aquaplaning, excessive cornering speeds, etc.
  • ABS does NOT guarantee shorter braking distances.
  • Do not be alarmed if you hear and feel a pulsing at the brake pedal. This is normal and indicates that the ABS is in operation.
2.3.3 ESC (Electronic Stability Control)

Functions of ESC

ESC covers the functions of ABS, EBD, TCS, VDC, HBA, RMI, HHC, AUTO HOLD and HDC.

ESC indicator on the instrument cluster flashes when the ESC is operating. You may hear some noise or feel the vibration of brake pedal, which is normal.

When the vehicle is powered on, "ESC indicator (yellow)" will illuminate and go off after several seconds. In normal driving conditions, ESC indicator keeps off, and ESC is in monitoring state. When the ESC indicator flashes, it indicates ESC is operating. You may hear some noise or feel the vibration of brake pedal, which is a normal phenomenon. In case of ESC failure, ESC indicator will stay On. Please take the vehicle to Our Service Dealer for ESC inspection.

ESC switch is located on the central control screen, ESC can be turned off with ESC OFF button, and when ESC function is turned off, "ESC OFF indicator (yellow) " illuminates and only ABS and EBD functions are available.


EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution)

EBD automatically detects the grip conditions between wheels and ground, distributes the brake force optimally to 4 wheels, so as to improve brake efficiency and driving stability.

TCS (Traction Control System)

TCS automatically controls the driving force at the start-off and acceleration to prevent wheels from spinning, so as to maintain the driving stability

VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control)

VDC is an advanced computer system, which can help you to control the vehicle driving direction in severe driving conditions.

When the computer detects the deviation between the expected driving route and the actual driving direction, VDC system may selectively apply brake pressure on one or more brakes of the vehicle so as to keep the vehicle driving in the direction commanded.

HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist)

In case of emergency braking, usually the driver can step on the brake pedal quickly, but the braking force may not reach the maximum deceleration that the vehicle and the ground can provide. HBA function supports to provide additional braking force in such emergency braking conditions.

RMI (Roll Movement Intervention)

RMI can identify the vehicle rollover trend as early as possible by monitoring the turning angle of steering wheel and lateral acceleration, and apply braking to one or more wheels to prevent the rollover to the greatest extent.

HHC hill hold control

When the vehicle drives uphill, HHC can prevent the vehicle from sliding backwards after the driver releases the brake pedal.

An interval up to 2 seconds is available for the driver to shift his foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal so as to successfully drive off on a slope

AUTO HOLD

The ESC runs together with the EPB to help your vehicle park in any stationary condition without depressing the brake pedal all the time.

HDC (Hill Descent Control)

When the vehicle is running downhill, the HDC function can help the driver keep the speed constant, allowing the driver to focus just on the steering wheel.

Precautions for driving a vehicle with ESC

ESC can detect and analyze vehicle conditions, and take preventive measures by correcting wrong driving operation.

However, anything has its limit and no safety device is absolutely safe if the driver blindly drives the vehicle overspeeding.


2.3.4 EPB (Electrical Parking Brake)

The EPB pull-up switch is integrated with the P button on the shift lever. When the vehicle is stationary, press the P button to put the vehicle into P gear while the EPB is pulled up, and there is also an EPB release switch on the center console screen.

Instructions before Using EPB

  • Once the vehicle is powered on, the EPB can be used all the time. Do not operate the EPB switch repeatedly when the vehicle is not running to prevent excessive discharging of the battery. EPB is unable to be applied or released when the battery power is insufficient.
  • The EPB can prevent accidental slipping when starting off on a slope. The EPB will automatically release only when the vehicle traction is greater than the sliding force.
  • When the normal brake of the vehicle fails, the emergency braking function can still stop the vehicle. See "Emergency Braking Function" in this section for details.
  • Minor noise may be heard when applying or releasing the electronic parking brake. This is normal, please rest assured.
  • When the vehicle is powered off, the applied parking brake cannot be released, and the released parking brake cannot be applied, please connect an external power supply.
  • If the "EPB indicator (red)" does not turn on or off when you operate the EPB switch, or the "EPB malfunction indicator (yellow)" illuminates and the EPB cannot be released through normal operation, please contact Our Service Dealer.
  • Do not perform EPB on the road with the slope more than 30%, otherwise the vehicle may slip. If the EPB fails to fully brake when parking on the road beyond a defined slope, the driver can stop the vehicle from sliding by depressing the brake pedal.

2.3.8 Brake pedal sensing mode switching function

The vehicles with electronic control booster is preset with two brake pedal sensing mode: "standard" and "sports", and the driver can select and switch between these two modes on the central control screen.

When the "sports" modes is selected, a small pedal force or pedal stroke can not only obtain larger braking force, but also reach the maximum point of booster force in a short time and shorten the braking distance. This mode is applicable to old or female drivers with small stepping force.

When the "standard" mode is selected, the braking force output is relatively moderate at the same pedal force or pedal stroke, which is applicable to the vast majority of people.

note

When switching brake pedal sensing mode, ensure that the vehicle starts from a stationary state and the brake pedal cannot be stepped on.


2.3.9 Electric power steering system
warning

If the electric power steering fails or cannot operate, the steering will appear very heavy, which will affect driving safety.

The electric power steering system only works when the vehicle is started. The system operates via a motor with assistance levels automatically adjusted based on vehicle speed, steering torque and steering wheel angle.

The electric power steering system has the advantages of simple structure and energy saving. Compared with the traditional hydraulic power steering system, the electric power steering system only needs energy in actual steering, so that power loss can be reduced in this operating way of power consumption according to the need.

caution

When the electric power steering system operates, holding the steeing wheel on full lock for long periods will result in a reduction in power assistance and cause a heavier feel to the steering.

3.10.3 FCW and AEB (Forward collision assist)
mg-m9

The forward collision assist includes FCW (Forward Collision Warning) and AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking). The forward collision warning function warns the driver of pedestrians, bicycles or vehicles in front of the vehicle with visual and audio signals. If the driver fails to take actions within a reasonable period of time, the system will trigger the automatic emergency braking function.

The collision assist may enable rapid and momentary braking in response to different risks of collision, which may make the driver uncomfortable, and the driver should actively apply brake at this time.

If the risk of collision further increases, the system will brake sharply and stop the vehicle under normal conditions. For most drivers, this is not a normal driving style and they may feel uncomfortable. When the collision assist successfully avoids collision with the vehicle ahead, the vehicle will remain stationary for a short period of time and the driver should take actions as soon as possible.


The driver or occupant usually notices the function of collision assist only when the vehicle is about to collide. The collision assist is activated when the driver should start braking early, but it cannot assist the driver in all cases.

Function activation or deactivation

Function activation method

When the vehicle is started, the collision assist function is activated by default.

To reactivate the function after you deactivate it, set on the center console screen: Settings -> Advanced Driver Assistance -> Activate Collision Assist.

When the function is activated, the "FCW (Forward Collision Warning)/ AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) warning light (yellow)" mg-m9 on the instrument cluster is turned off.

Function deactivation method

Set on the center console screen: Settings -> Advanced Driver Assistance -> Deactivate Collision Assist.

When the function is deactivated, the forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking will be turned off at the same time, and the "FCW (Forward Collision Warning)/ AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) warning light (yellow)" mg-m9 on the instrument cluster remains on.

Sensitivity adjustment

Set on the center console screen by clicking "…" or ">" on the right of Collision Assist to pop up the options "Low", "Standard" and "High"; you can choose the appropriate sensitivity based on your needs.

Information prompts

  • Visual alarm

    - Indicatorprompt: During the forward collision warning, the "FCW (Forward Collision Warning)/AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) warning light (yellow)" mg-m9 flashes; during the automatic emergency braking, the "FCW (Forward Collision Warning)/AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) warning light (red)" mg-m9 flashes.

    - Text reminder: Risk of collision/ automatic emergency braking.

  • Audible alarm: The entertainment system speaker alarms.

caution

The collision assist is an auxiliary function that cannot work under all driving, traffic, weather and road conditions, which cannot replace the driving and accurate judgment.

The performance of the system may be degraded by other factors, so that the driver should drive carefully and do not rely solely on the system. Before using the collision assist, the driver should check the restrictions they need to know by referring to this section.

The collision assist is designed to decrease the vehicle speed as much as possible to reduce the losses caused by collisions, instead of complete prevention of collisions. The driver should drive carefully and do not rely on the system.

When the system gives visual and audible warnings, the driver should immediately take further measures to avoid risk of collision and do not rely solely on the system.

The recognition range of front view camera and front millimeter wave radar realized by collision assist is limited, so you should not rely solely on the system to prevent collisions.

Due to the inherent limitations, the system may give a warning or brake when there is no risk of collision. The driver should always pay attention to the traffic environment ahead and take appropriate measures immediately. The operating range of the collision assist system is 8 km/h to 130 km/h.

caution

With the collision assist activated, if the "FCW (Forward Collision Warning)/AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) warning light (yellow)" mg-m9 remains on, please drive to Our Service Dealer for service.

Usage restrictions

  • When the vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h, the system will not give an alarm. Lower speed may indicate that you are driving on a congested road and the occasional triggering of the system may provide bad driving experience.
  • The driver should ensure that the seat belt has been fastened, otherwise the automatic emergency braking will not work.
  • Please ensure that the electronic stability control and collision assist functions are activated, otherwise the collision assist function will not work.
  • Certain objects will affect and impair the detection of sensors, such as road fences, tunnel entrances, heavy rain or snow, which may in turn affect the related functions of the AEB.
  • The prerequisite for the collision assist to respond to a relevant object is that it must be in the sensor view and recognized. The collision assist performance will be greatly limited for objects that cut in, are detected only after the vehicle changes its lane, and are on roads with sharp turns.

  • If traffic conditions or external influences cause the cameras and radars failure to properly detect the pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles and other objects, warning or brake intervention may be delayed or not fully implemented.
  • The detection capability of cameras will be affected by severe weathers, such as high wind, heavy rain, dense fog, etc., which will reduce the system performance or increase the false trigger rate.
  • See "Camera" for camera restrictions.

mg-m9

The LDW (Lane Departure Warning) function assists the driver on highways, expressways and other similar main roads. When the driver departs from the lane unintentionally, it warns and prompts the driver to return to the current lane, thereby avoiding traffic accident.

The lane departure warning function is activated when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 60 km/h and the road markings are clearly visible.

When the vehicle is driven at low speed or actively (judged by turning on the turn signal/rapid lane change, etc.), the system will not give an alarm.

Function activation or deactivation

Function activation method

When the vehicle is started, the lane departure warning function is activated by default.

To reactivate the function after you deactivate it, set on the center console screen: Settings -> Advanced Driver Assistance -> Activate Lane Keeping Assist.

Function deactivation method

Set on the center console screen: Settings -> Advanced Driver Assistance -> Deactivate Lane Keeping Assist.

When the function is deactivated, the "LDW (Lane Departure Warning)/ LKA (Lane Keeping Assist)/ELK (Emergency Lane Keeping) warning light (yellow)" mg-m9 on the instrument cluster remains on.

Sensitivity adjustment

Set on the center console screen by clicking "…" or ">" on the right of Lane Keeping Assist to pop up the options "Low", "Standard" and "High"; you can choose the appropriate sensitivity based on your needs.


Information prompts

When the driver departs from the lane unintentionally, the system will remind the driver through the warning icon on the instrument cluster, accompanied by the sound of the buzzer, and the lane line on the corresponding side on the instrument cluster is displayed in red. This means that the vehicle is at risk of departing from the lane. In this case, the driver should correct the vehicle to return to the current lane immediately.

caution

The lane departure warning is only an alarm-assisted driving function.

The driver should not rely solely on the lane departure warning function to remind the departure, and should bear the responsibility for safe driving.

The lane departure warning cannot work under all driving or traffic, weather and road conditions.

When the lane keeping assist system fails, i.e. after the lane keeping assist function is activated, the "LDW (Lane Departure Warning)/LKA (Lane Keeping Assist)/ELK (Emergency Lane Keeping) warning light (yellow)" mg-m9 remains on, please drive to Our Service Dealer for service.

Usage restrictions

The lane departure warning cannot clearly detect lane lines at all times. You may receive useless or invalid warning under the following conditions:

  • In road construction areas, at sharp turns or on narrow roads.
  • Darkness (poor lighting) or weather conditions (due to heavy rain, heavy snow, dense fog or high wind).
  • The recognition capability of the camera is deteriorated under direct sunlight or oncoming strong light.
  • The vehicle ahead is large or close, blocking the camera view.
  • Blocked windshield within the camera view (water mist, dust, or sticker, etc.).
  • The width and quality of lane lines fail to meet the requirements, such as lane lines worn or covered, presence of both old and new lane lines, or lane lines changed by construction sections.
  • Large shadows are projected on the lane by trees, large objects, or landscape features, etc.
  • The lane departure warning may miss a warning or give a false warning under the following conditions:

- See "Camera" for camera restrictions.

- Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, extremely high or low temperatures) interfere with camera operation.

The above warnings and restrictions do not include all conditions that may interfere with lane departure warning. Many factors may cause the lane departure warning to be inoperative. In order to avoid departure, the driver should remain vigilant and always pay attention to the road conditions, so that corrective measures are taken as soon as possible.


3.10.5 LKA (Lane Keeping Assist)

When the LKA (Lane Keeping Assist) function is activated, it determines the position of the vehicle relative to the lane lines based on the road boundary information obtained by the cameras, and shall warn the driver or return the vehicle to the lane by steering intervention in combination with the vehicle status and driver input if the driver departs from the lane unintentionally. This is a safety function that only corrects the deviation when the vehicle is about to deviate from the lane, not a comfort function of lane centering type, so the driver should firmly hold the steering wheel at all times during use.

The lane keeping function is activated when the vehicle speed is between 60 km/h and 120 km/h and the road markings are clearly visible.

When the vehicle is driven at low speed or actively (judged by turning on the turn signal/rapid lane change, etc.), the system will not give an alarm or automatically intervenes in steering.

Function activation or deactivation

The LKA (Lane Keeping Assist) shares the switch of LDW (Lane Departure Warning), and its specific operations are shown in "LDW (Lane Departure Warning)" in this section.

Information prompts

When the driver departs from the lane unintentionally, the system will remind the driver through the warning icon on the instrument cluster and the sound

of the buzzer, and may intervene in steering to return the vehicle to the current lane.

caution

The lane keeping assist is just a driver assistance function.

The driver should not rely solely on the lane keeping assist function to prevent departure from the lane, and should bear the responsibility for safe driving. The driver should follow the traffic regulations and hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands. If the driver does not hold the steering wheel, the system will not provide the keeping assist function.

The lane keeping assist will not always help the driver to correct the vehicle with a tendency of departure, and the driver must take over the vehicle after correction to ensure that the vehicle is stable. The lane keeping assist cannot work under all driving or traffic, weather and road conditions.

3.10.7 ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)

ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) can help the driver maintain the same speed as the vehicle ahead for the preselected time interval. The adaptive cruise control system can bring you a more relaxed and comfortable driving experience when driving on smooth expressways and long straight roads. The driver can set the required vehicle speed and the time interval with the front vehicle. When the camera and front millimeter wave radar sensor detect that the vehicle ahead is slowing down, your vehicle will automatically slow down accordingly. When the road ahead is clear again, your vehicle will be restored to the selected speed.

Adaptive cruise control switch

mg-m9

The adaptive cruise control switches are located on the steering wheel and shift lever.

  1. mg-m9 : To set the following distance, adjust the following distance of the adaptive cruise control, and switch the following distance from Level 1 to Level 3 cyclically for each press.

  1. SET- : To decrease the cruise speed.
  2. RES+ : To increase the cruise speed.
  3. mg-m9 : Adaptive cruise control switch; if the conditions are met, move the shift lever down to the bottom and release it to activate the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) function.

Activation of adaptive cruise control

When an object is detected ahead after the vehicle is started, the cruise control function can be activated at any speed; if no object is detected ahead, the vehicle speed should be kept above 15 km/h before you can activate the cruise control function.

When the "ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) indicator (gray) mg-m9 on the instrument cluster illuminates, you can use the adaptive cruise control function, which is in standby state. In this state, you can move the shift lever down to the bottom and release it to activate the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) function.

When the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) function is activated, the "ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) indicator (blue) mg-m9 the instrument cluster illuminates.

After the system is activated, the vehicle will cruise at the set cruise speed when there is no vehicle ahead; when there is a target vehicle ahead, and its speed is greater than the set cruise speed of the vehicle, the system will allow the vehicle to continue driving at the current cruise speed; when its speed is less than the set

cruise speed of the vehicle, the system will actively adjusts the speed to maintain the set following time interval from the vehicle ahead to achieve automatic following.

When the vehicle ahead accelerates, the system will also actively accelerate until the set cruise speed is restored.

The ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) will intelligently limit the speed on curves.

Adjustment of cruise speed

When the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is activated, the cruise speed can be increased or decreased through RES+ and SET-. Short press RES+/SET- to change the cruise speed by 5 km/h. Long press RES+/SET- to change the cruise speed by 1 km/h. With the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) in the override state, press the SETbutton to synchronize the speed, i.e. the cruise speed becomes the current actual speed.

Cruise speed memory

To use the previous cruise speed when activating the cruise control, move the shift lever down to the bottom for more than 1 second, and then release it.

Adjustment of cruise distance

Short press the to switch the following distance from Level 1 to Level 3 cyclically for each press, and the current cruise distance can be confirmed through the display on the instrument cluster.


Deactivation of adaptive cruise control

To manually deactivate the cruise control, pull up the shift lever or shift the gear, and depress the brake pedal. When the cruise control is deactivated, the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) indicator will change from blue to gray, or the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) indicator will go out.

Restoration of adaptive cruise control

To use the previous cruise speed when activating the cruise control, move the shift lever down to the bottom for more than 1 second, and then release it.

When cruising at the current speed, the adaptive cruise control can be restored by activating it.

The system will enter the function hold state and will not be restored under the following conditions, and the instrument cluster will provide the relevant information to indicate the need to restore cruise control:

  • The follow and stop time exceeds 180 seconds.
  • The ultrasonic radar detects pedestrians ahead.
caution

The driver must always pay attention to the current traffic conditions and intervene when the adaptive cruise control system fails to maintain a proper speed or a correct distance. The adaptive cruise control system is unable to deal with all traffic, weather and road conditions.

The ACC is not a safety system, obstacle detector or collision warning system, but a comfort system. The driver must maintain control of the vehicle at all times and take full responsibility for the vehicle.

The function of ACC can assist the driver, but cannot replace the driver in driving. The driver must drive carefully and follow the speed limit regulations even when the ACC is activated.

caution

When driving uphill or downhill, due to system limitations, there may be a certain error between the actual cruise speed of the ACC and the set cruise speed. Sufficient speed control may not be provided due to limited braking capacity and driving on a slope, and the distance to the vehicle ahead may be misjudged.


Usage restrictions

The adaptive cruise control relies on other systems, such as ESP system. If the function of any system is disabled, the adaptive cruise control system will be automatically disabled. In the case of automatic deactivation, a sound signal will be emitted and a message will be displayed on the driver side display. The driver must intervene to match the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead. The causes of automatic disabling may be:

  • The driver opened the door
  • The hood or trunk is opened.
  • The driver unfastened his/her seat belt.
  • The brake pedal is depressed.
  • The vehicle is in a gear other than D.
  • The motor speed is too low/too high.
  • The tyre lost its grip
  • The braking temperature is too high.
  • The parking brake is used.
  • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) function is activated.
  • Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) function is activated.
  • ESC is turned off (i.e. when pressing the ESC OFF switch, the ESC OFF indicator on the instrument cluster illuminates, and the ESC system is turned off).
  • The vehicle collides.
  • The recognition capability of the camera is deteriorated under direct sunlight or oncoming strong light.
  • A camera or front millimeter wave radar sensor fails.
  • The vehicle speed is greater than the maximum failure speed of 130 km/h.
  • The radius of road curve is less than 250 m.
  • See "Camera" for camera restrictions.
  • See "Radar" for radar restrictions.

3.10.8 ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist)

The ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist) is used to assist the driver in operating the vehicle on a structured road, and reduce the driver's fatigue due to repeated driving behavior during long-distance driving. This function can provide longitudinal and transverse auxiliary controls of the vehicle according to the traffic conditions in the driving direction; longitudinal control can achieve cruise control and car following, while transverse control enables the vehicle to be controlled near the center of lane according to the lane lines on both left and right, providing the driver with an easier driving mode.

The integrated cruise assist aims to follow the vehicle ahead and maintain the vehicle in its own lane at the following time interval set by the driver. If the camera and front millimeter wave radar sensor cannot detect any vehicle ahead, the speed set by the driver will be maintained. The above situation also occurs if the speed of the vehicle ahead exceeds the set speed. If the camera cannot see the lane lines ahead, the integrated cruise assist function will be restricted and degraded to adaptive cruise control.


Activation of integrated cruise assist

When the "ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist) indicator (gray)" mg-m9 on the instrument cluster illuminates, you can use the ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist) function, which is in standby state. In this state, you can move the shift lever down to the bottom twice continuously and release it to activate the ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist) function.

mg-m9

When the ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist) function is activated, the "ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist) indicator (blue)" mg-m9 on the instrument cluster illuminates.

Deactivation of integrated cruise assist

To manually deactivate the cruise control, pull up the shift lever or shift the gear, and depress the brake pedal. When the cruise control is deactivated, the ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist) indicator will change from blue to gray, or the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) indicator will go out.

Restoration of integrated cruise assist

Recover by shifting the shift lever down to the bottom twice.

mg-m9
caution

The integrated cruise assist is not a collision avoidance system. If the system does not detect the vehicle ahead, the driver must intervene. For intersections, the integrated cruise assist may correct the steering wheel, and require the driver to hold the steering wheel at the intersections and get ready to take over the vehicle at any time.


caution

For people or animals, as well as small vehicles such as bicycles, motorcycles and electric bicycles, the integrated cruise assist will not apply the brake. This is also the case for flatbed trailers and approaching, slowly moving or stationary vehicles and objects.

The integrated cruise assist shall not be used in case of urban roads, intersections, slippery surfaces, roads with accumulated water or mud, cloudy, rainy or snowy weather, poor visibility, winding roads or highway entrances and exits.

The driver assistance system is not suitable for the situation in which sunlight obliquely shines on the camera from the front of the vehicle and the case in which the high beam coming from the opposite side shines on the camera at night when entering/leaving the tunnel entrance.

The integrated cruise assist may be deactivated when the direction of lane lines ahead changes rapidly, such as lane merge, road diversion, sudden increase or decrease in lane width, please always take over the vehicle in advance.

The integrated cruise assist will occasionally assist the vehicle in steering when the steering assist is not required or when you do not intend to steer, which may be due to unclear or irregular lane lines, or other lines or objects similar to the lane lines on the lane surface. In this case, the driver should take over the vehicle immediately.

caution

When the integrated cruise assist system detects that the driver does not hold the steering wheel, it will provide a takeover request prompt "Please turn the steering wheel slightly" through the instrument cluster, and give an audible alarm, accompanied by flashing of a white light band. At this time, the driver should hold the steering wheel immediately and take over the steering wheel if necessary to avoid danger.

If the system detects that you have not taken over the vehicle for multiple times, the function will automatically exit to ensure driving safety.

If the driver ignores the alarm message for several consecutive times in a driving cycle, the ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist) function can no longer be used. The vehicle may not use the ICA (Integrated Cruise Assist) function until the next ignition cycle.

Usage restrictions

The causes of automatic disabling may be:

  • The ACC function is deactivated or inhibited.
  • The lane condition or lane level is not met.
  • The driver turns on the turn signal.
  • The driver opened the door.
  • The hood or trunk is opened.
  • The driver unfastened his/her seat belt.

  • The brake pedal is depressed.
  • The vehicle is in a gear other than D.
  • The motor speed is too low/too high.
  • The tyre lost its grip.
  • The braking temperature is too high.
  • The parking brake is used.
  • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) function is activated.
  • Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) function is activated.
  • ESC is turned off (i.e. when pressing the ESC OFF switch, the ESC OFF indicator on the instrument cluster illuminates, and the ESC system is turned off).
  • The vehicle collides.
  • The recognition capability of the camera is deteriorated under direct sunlight or oncoming strong light.
  • A camera or front millimeter wave radar sensor fails.
  • The vehicle speed is greater than the maximum failure speed of 130 km/h.
  • The radius of road curve is less than 250 m.
  • See "Camera" for camera restrictions.
  • See "Radar" for radar restrictions.
  • The system is also inhibited under the following conditions:

- If the vehicle ahead is braked suddenly, unexpected braking or failure to brake may occur due to the restrictions of the camera and front millimeter wave radar. If the vehicle ahead is braked suddenly, unexpected braking or failure to brake may occur due to the restrictions of the camera and front millimeter wave radar.

- The integrated cruise assist is mainly used when driving on flat roads with clear lane lines. When driving with heavy loads on steep downhill roads, it may be difficult for the function to maintain the correct distance from the vehicle ahead. In these cases, be careful and prepare to brake at any time.

- When driving on roads with sharp turns, such as on a serpentine road, the integrated cruise assist function may not detect the vehicle ahead due to the limited view of the front millimeter wave radar sensor and camera, which may cause the integrated cruise assist to accelerate the vehicle, and the driver should be ready to take over the vehicle at any time.

- If the distance between the vehicle with integrated cruise assist and the adjacent lane is too small (or the vehicle in the adjacent lane is too close to the vehicle with integrated cruise assist), the integrated cruise assist may respond to the vehicle and brake, and the driver should pay attention to the road changes and take over the vehicle immediately.

- The performance of integrated cruise assist on a slope depends on the vehicle speed, load, and gradient. When the vehicle runs uphill, it may be required to depress the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle speed. When the vehicle runs downhill, it may be required to brake or shift to a low gear to maintain the vehicle speed.


3.10.9 SLIF (Speed Limit Information Function)
mg-m9

The SLIF (Speed Limit Information Function) recognizes speed signs by using the intelligent front view camera and sends relevant information to the instrument cluster to remind the driver of the speed limit information of the current road and prevent overspeed. The system does not actively adjust the vehicle speed at this time, and the driver should actively control the vehicle speed.

Function activation or deactivation

Set on the center console screen: Settings -> Advanced Driver Assistance -> Speed Limit Assist, where you can activate/deactivate the speed limit information function.

Function activation conditions

  • The vehicle speed is less than 130 km/h.
  • The sensor signal is normal (camera).
  • A speed limit sign is detected.
  • The front view camera module at the windshield is not blocked/ fogged, etc.
note

After the function is activated, it will not work temporarily when the vehicle speed is greater than 130 km/h.

Information prompts

If a speed limit sign is recognized when the current vehicle speed is less than the speed of the speed limit sign after the function is activated, the instrument cluster will display the current speed limit value.

If it is detected that the current vehicle speed is greater than the speed of the speed limit sign, the speed limit sign will flash with an audible alarm.

mg-m9 indicates the speed limit value of the current road.


caution

When the system cannot recognize the information of the speed limit sign ahead, the instrument cluster will not display the speed limit sign information.

The system only displays the speed limit information, and does not control the vehicle speed.

The recognition of speed limit signs by the system is not entirely accurate, so that false recognition may occur, and the driver should drive carefully according to the actual road conditions.

Usage restrictions

The traffic sign information function works properly only when the speed signs are clearly visible. It may not work properly or may not work in some cases. For example:

  • Speed limit signs in poor condition, e.g. faded, on a curve, improper angle, rotated or damaged, fully or partially blocked, too far or too high, adhering to the road surface.
  • Driving too close to the vehicle ahead, which obstructs the detection range of the camera.
  • Recent changes to road or speed limit, such as construction and restrictions.
  • Some LED speed limit signs.
  • See "Camera" for camera restrictions.
3.10.10 ISA (Intelligent Speed Assistance)
mg-m9

The ISA (Intelligent Speed Assistance) recognizes the speed signs by using the intelligent front view camera when the ACC function is activated, and sends relevant information to the instrument cluster to remind the driver to decelerate. If the driver fails to decelerate immediately, the system will actively decelerate.

When the intelligent speed assistance function is active, the system will actively decelerate according to the information of the speed limit sign. If the driver requires acceleration subjectively, the vehicle speed can be controlled by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the system will restore the speed limit control. The system will also deactivate the speed limit control by short pressing or long pressing the RES+ button.

3.10.15 Driver status monitor system
note

It applies to vehicles configured with driver monitoring system (DMS).

The DMS provides the functions of driver fatigue detection, driver distraction detection, driver smoking behaviour detection and driver phone use behaviour detection for the driver through the cameras in the vehicle and at the inner side of A pillar as well as the "Algorithms for human face and fatigue" built in the entertainment mainframe.

Enter Settings -> Click on the driver status monitoring switch , which can control the alarm display of all functions as a whole, and can meanwhile individually control the prompts for various functional alarms.

Driver fatigue detection

When the driver is fatigued to some extent, the DMS will estimate the fatigue degree of the driver through common fatigue behaviours such as yawning, eyes closing, etc., and conclude the fatigue degree of the driver through estimated results. If the fatigue degree exceeds a certain standard, the DMS will remind the


driver through pop-up window and alarm on the instrument pack. To ensure driving safety, when the driver has fatigue behaviours, the DMS will actively activate the functions of collision assist and lane assist and adjust the sensitivity of the corresponding function. When turning off the switch for driver fatigue monitoring, only instrument pop ups and alarms will be turned off.

This function will work with the vehicle speed not less than 10km/h, and distinguish mild fatigue, moderate fatigue and severe fatigue.

Driver distraction detection

When the driver gazes around during normal driving, the DMS will assess the overall focus direction of the driver according to the overall angle and time of head rotation or the direction and time of line of sight deviation of the driver, so as to judge the driver's distraction behaviour. The system will remind the driver through instrument panel pop-up windows and alarm sounds.

It should be noted that, due to existence of time assessment, observing rearview mirrors and onboard mainframe for a short period of time will not trigger the distraction detection. To ensure driving safety, when the driver has distraction behaviours, the DMS will actively activate the function of collision assist and adjust the sensitivity of the corresponding function. When the switch for driver distraction monitoring is turned off, only the instrument pop-up window and alarm will be turned off.

In addition, this function will be temporarily turned off to avoid misjudgment when it's required to call the body camera to project the scenarios to the on-board mainframe under circumstances like reversing. This function will work with the vehicle speed not less than 10km/h.

Driver smoking behaviour detection

When the DMS detects the smoking behaviour of the driver during driving, the driver will be reminded through pop-up window and alarm on the instrument pack. This function will work with the vehicle speed not less than 10km/h. When the switch for monitoring driver smoking behaviour is turned off, only the instrument popup window and alarm will be turned off.

Driver phone use behaviour detection

When the DMS detects that the driver answers the phone with a hand during driving, the driver will be reminded through pop-up window and alarm on the instrument pack. This function will work with the vehicle speed not less than 10km/h. When the switch for monitoring the driver's phone behaviour is turned off, only the instrument pop-up window and alarm will be turned off.

Repair & Maintenance
5.1 Tyres
warning

DEFECTIVE TYRES ARE DANGEROUS! Do NOT drive your vehicle if any tyre is excessively worn, damaged or inflated to an incorrect pressure. Do NOT overload vehicle.

Incorrect tyre inflation pressures or an unbalanced wheel and tyre assembly can seriously affect the stability, especially when driving with high payloads or at high speeds. Underinflation will increase rolling resistance and accelerate tyre wear, resulting in tyre damage, even an accident.

Always drive with consideration for the condition of the tyres; the most common causes of tyre failure are:

  • Bumping against curbs.
  • Driving over deep pot holes
  • Tyre under-inflation or pressure overload during driving.

Uneven tread wear can be caused by faulty wheel alignment.

5.1.1 Winter tyres
warning

The vehicle speed shall not exceed the maximum allowable speed of the installed winter tyres, otherwise the tyres may suddenly lose pressure, delaminate, or even burst, which may easily cause accidents!

Be sure to adjust the speed according to the specific climate, roads and traffic conditions. Do not take risks by taking advantage of the anti-skid performance provided by winter tyres and beware accidents!

Winter tyres can improve the handling stability and braking performance of the vehicle when driving in a low temperature environment or on icy roads. It is suggested that winter tyres should be used when the temperature is lower than 70C.

When a vehicle is running under winter road conditions, winter tyres can greatly improve the handling stability and braking performance. Non-winter tyres have poor skid resistance at low temperatures or on icy roads due to their structure (tyre width, rubber composition, pattern type, etc.).


It is recommended to use winter tyres of the same size and load index as that of the original tyres, and all the four wheels shall use winter tyres.

When the tread depth of winter tyres is worn to 4mm, the skid resistance will decrease obviously.

The maximum allowable speed of winter tyres shall be subject to the speed code on the tyres.

In addition, it is recommended to set the overspeed alarm, which can be controlled to turn on or off via the touch button on the center console screen.

When the temperature rises above 70C, it is recommended to replace winter tyres with non-winter tyres.


5.1.2 Anti-skid chain

When driving a vehicle in the snow, it is recommended to apply S anti-skid chain to the driving wheels.

The anti-skid chain could increase the traction when driving on roads in winter. If you want to install the antiskid chain, please remember that:

  • Not all wheels and tyres are suitable for an anti-skid chain. When installing anti-skid chains, only approved tyre size can be used.
  • Only apply anti-skid chain to two driving wheels. Please follow the instructions of anti-skid chain manufacturer.

It is just in the snow that you can drive the vehicle at maximum speed allowed by the anti-skid chain. Please comply with the regulatory requirements of the resident country. Remove the anti-skid chain immediately when driving on the snow-free road.


5.1.3 Loading

Each driver is obliged to ensure his vehicle is free of overload.

note

The maximum allowable total mass is indicated on the VIN Plate located at front lower of B pillar. This handbook introduces the correct vehicle weight parameters, see "Vehicle weight parameters".

Driving with incorrectly inflated tyres can affect vehicle stability, increase rolling resistance, and cause rapid tyre wear and possible permanent damage to the cords of the tyre casing.

Remember tyre wear and inflation pressure regulations. It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the tyres meet these requirements.

Please check the tyre pressure weekly, and adjust the tyre pressure according to the requirements on the tyre pressure identification at the front lower part of vehicle B-pillar. This Handbook introduces the correct tyre pressure in cold condition, see "Wheel and tyre" in General Technical Parameters section.


Pressure should be checked with an accurate Tyre Pressure Gauge when the tyre is cold instead of decreasing the value under warm condition as the pressure will be higher than normal pressure due to temperature. Be sure to install the valve caps to prevent dirt entry into the valve mechanism. A natural pressure loss will occur with time; any unusual pressure loss should be investigated and rectified.

note

Specified pressure applies to a cold tyre, while the pressure of hot tyre should be higher.

Wear indicator

There are wear indicators in the tread of all original tyres. When the tyre has worn down until 1.6 mm of the tread is remaining the wear indicators will appear across the full width of the tread pattern.

A tyre should be replaced immediately where any part of the wear indicator becomes visible. However it is in your interest to note that tyre safety and performance tends to reduce before the legal limit is reached. For example, badly worn tyres will increase the risk of aquaplaning.

Tyre check and rotation

In order to achieve even tyre wear, it is recommended to check the tyres every 5,000km, and check the wheel alignment parameters under the curb weight of the enire vehicle as required. If irregular wear is found, the tyres position should be changed, and wheel alignment adjustments should be made if necessary. During the tyre rotation, check the tyres for correct dynamic balance.

During the tyre rotation, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure, poor wheel alignment, poor wheel dynamic balance, emergency braking or cornering. Check the tread or the side of the tyre for collision damage or bulges. If one of these conditions is found, the tyre shall be replaced. If fabric or cord is visible, the tyre shall also be replaced. After tyre disassembly and replacement, the inflation pressure of the front and rear tyres should be adjusted according to the tyre pressure label on the vehicle, and the wheel nut torque should be retested in the tightening direction to ensure it meets 180N·m±30%. If it does not meet the requirements, it needs to be tightened again.

5.8.12 Other maintenance

Vehicle wash

warning

When driving for the first time after washing the vehicle, gently depress the brake pedal several times to remove moisture from the brake discs. Carefully wash the tyres. Never use a high pressure nozzle as it may damage tyres. If any damage is found, replace the tyre.

Water flushing is prohibited in the front part of the interior (near the dashboard area) to avoid unnecessary damage to related parts.

Do not flush the front compartment, battery compartment and peripheral inserts with water.

Careful attention to the following will help to retain the value of your vehicle:

  • Clean the vehicle with cold or lukewarm water. Hot water may cause damage to vehicle paintwork under extreme cold conditions.
  • No vehicle washing under strong direct sunlight during hot weather.
  • Use special vehicle cleaner to remove grease and tar spots on vehicle body and while still wet, wash the paintwork using a soft sponge and generous quantities of water containing car shampoo. Rinse thoroughly and dry off with a chamois leather.
  • When cleaning the vehicle with a hose, it is prohibited to spray the water directly to the window, the door, or the brake parts through the gap of the wheel.
  • After cleaning, inspect the paintwork for damage and stone chips; apply touch-up paint if necessary. Use polishing wax to protect the paintwork from time to time.
  • When using high pressure cleaning equipments, the water jet shall be kept moving. Do not direct it at the door gaps, seals, electrical components or their connections.

note

Please timely remove the substances on the surface of the paint which seem harmless but in fact corrosive, such as bird droppings, resin, insect wreckage, tar spots, road salt and industrial dust. Otherwise permanent staining or damage will be produced.

Anti-corrosion of underbody

The underbody of your vehicle has been treated with anticorrosion. Check underbody anti-corrosion regularly

Use a water jet to remove accumulations of caked mud or debris on underbody. Especially in winter, when salt is used on icy and snowy roads.

Seat and trim

Often use vacuum sweeper or soft brush to clean dirt and dust accumulated on fibers. Often use clean cloth to wipe the trim. Use special cleaner to remove general trim dust, staining or spots. Use special cleaner to clean leather parts.

Door seals

To prevent rubber door seals from freezing in a cold weather, a rubber maintenance product or a silicone spray shall be used for its protection.

Window glass

Often use glass cleaner to clean window glass. Use high-quality cleaner or neutral detergent rather than abrasives or chemical solvents to wash.

Exterior trimming

Do not use chemical solvents to wipe, especially avoid using reagents containing benzene and naphtha solvents.
