Driving tips

1. Check the condition of the vehicle before traveling to ensure that the lights, steering and braking systems are effective and reliable. And understand the road conditions along the way in advance, and adjust the driving route in time.
2. Strictly keep the following distance during travel, turn slowly and brake slowly. The visibility of driving in rainy and foggy days is low, and the friction coefficient of the road surface is low in rainy and snowy days, so it is necessary to maintain a safe speed and distance between vehicles.

It is recommended to turn on the hot air system after the water temperature rises to normal temperature, so that the inside of the car is dry and not easy to fog up again.
4. Pay attention to slow turning and slow braking while driving. In case of skidding, reduce the speed of the car, and at the same time brake to let the car stop slowly, do not slam the direction and brake suddenly.
