Station of Dongfeng Sokon.
Don't apply the brake in succession
for a long time, or put the foot on the
brake pedal while running for a rest
which will cause the brake to lose
efficiency for overheating or the
braking distance too long or will
cause the permanent damage of the
brake.
Note:
After water enters the brake drum, it
will make the brake lose efficiency
or its performance cannot be
predicable. So after the vehicle
paddles or being washed, you should
lightly step on the brake pedal
intermissively at a much low speed,
operate the brake repeatedly, and
dehumidify brake until resuming
normal efficiency of braking. Please
clean the brake after such road
surface as the deep mud ground,
sand ground, etc., try to avoid
wearing and tearing excessivly.
The vehicle is equipped with
vacuum booster system; it can make
the brake more stable. Do not step
on the brake pedal to-and-fro while
applying the brake. When the
vacuum
booster
system
lose
efficiency, the energy stored will
gradually subside effort in brake
pedal with applying the brake each
time.
Note:
Without the vacuum booster system,
it will need bigger footforce while
applying the brake and perhaps the
braking distance will be longer.

Economy Driving
The following items will help you to
lower the fuel consumption:
①
Avoid running idle for a long
time: If you don’t drive the vehicle

you should stop the engine. While
starting the cold engine, you should
operate idly until the indicator of the
thermometer reaches “C " position ,
then begin to drive the vehicle.
②
Avoid Emergency Brake: it is a
waste of energy for braking and also
recovering driving speed will
consume the fuel.
③
Keep the invariable speed: Keep
the invariable speed in the allowed
road and traffic condition.
④
Keep the loading capacity
minimum limit
⑤
Keep the correct tire pressure:
when
the
tire
pressure
is
insufficiency, the resistance of the
driving will increase which may
