Overview of the Vehicle
- Please read the instructions in this manual carefully before first use. Not following them may cause personal injury or property damage and could void maintenance coverage or warranty.
- Keep the power battery fully charged before driving. The battery will gradually discharge while the vehicle is in use. If the battery level becomes low, it must be recharged; otherwise, the vehicle may be unable to operate.
- Keep the power battery fully charged before driving. The battery will gradually discharge during use. If the battery level becomes low, recharge it promptly to avoid the vehicle being unable to operate.
- This vehicle uses a charging plug to connect to the power grid for charging the power battery. It also features an energy recovery function: during braking, the motor generates electricity and stores a portion of it in the power battery,
helping to extend the vehicle’s driving
range.
- This vehicle features a creep function. When the vehicle is in a drivable state (the READY indicator light is on) and the gear is in the Drive (D) or Reverse (R) position, releasing the brake pedal and parking brake will cause the vehicle to move slowly forward or backward.
High Voltage Safety
The following information is provided for the safety of passengers and emergency personnel regarding high voltage:
- The high-voltage fuse, located inside the power battery, provides short-circuit protection for the battery.
- The positive and negative high-voltage cables connected to the power battery are usually controlled by a high-voltage relay. The relay disconnects to stop current from flowing out of the battery, protecting the battery and electrical system from damage and ensuring electricity is only supplied when needed.
- The vehicle may remain unsafe to touch for up to 5 minutes after the power supply is disconnected. To prevent serious injury or death from accidental contact with high-voltage electricity, do not touch, cut, or damage any orange high-voltage cables or high-voltage components.
- High-voltage cables are insulated from the metal body of the vehicle, so electricity flows only through the cables and not through the metal. Since the metal body is isolated from high-voltage components, it is safe to touch.
Warning Information
- If the power system malfunctions or is used incorrectly, the meter instrument will display warning messages. Please read the messages carefully and follow the instructions. If warning indicators illuminate, warning messages appear, or a fault occurs in the low-voltage battery, the power system may not start. In this case, attempt to restart the system. If the READY indicator light does not turn on, contact an authorised PROTON e. MAS service outlet for maintenance.
- When the collision sensor detects a significant impact, the system and high- voltage current output are immediately cut off to minimize the risk of electric shock. If the emergency cut-off system is activated, the vehicle will not restart. To restart the vehicle, contact a local PROTON e.MAS service outlet.
- Removal or replacement of any high- voltage components may affect vehicle performance and high-voltage safety. Therefore, any work involving high- voltage components can only be carried out by an authorised PROTON e. MAS service outlet.
The vehicle is equipped with high- voltage DC and AC systems, as well
as a 12V low-voltage system. High-voltage DC and AC systems are extremely dangerous, and failure can result in serious injury or death.

Event Data Recorder (EDR)*
PROTON vehicles are equipped with an event data recording system that complies with relevant national standards. This system records information during a collision, including the vehicle’s driving speed, measured by the chassis controller via sensors to indicate speed at the time of the event, and braking status, which shows whether the vehicle was braking during the event.
During a collision, the current event data may overwrite previous non-locked event data, following the chronological order of accident data storage.
The EDR helps personnel understand the vehicle’s condition at the time of an event and enables them to act in accordance with
laws and regulations. Additionally, the information can be used for engineering research and to assist PROTON in continuously improving product quality and safety.
In accordance with national laws and regulations, PROTON may be required to disclose recorded event data to certain authorities, such as the police, relevant public organisations, or other institutions with access to the event data recording system. Data must be read using specialised equipment that meets the
corresponding standards, which connects either to the vehicle’s OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) interface, providing access to
vehicle diagnostic and performance data, or directly to the EDR controller to extract the data. Only authorised individuals or organisations are permitted to read or extract this data.
Access to data reading equipment: If necessary, contact an authorised PROTON
e. MAS service outlet and, with their assistance, apply to the manufacturer for access to the equipment.

Seat Belts Overview
When the vehicle is in operation, all occupants must have their seat belts properly fastened. In the event of emergency braking or a collision, properly fastened seat belts help reduce the risk and severity of injuries.
- Improper use or failure to fasten seat belts may result in serious injury or death.
- No passenger should sit in a position without a seat belt or use a seat with a damaged seat belt.
- Each seat belt is designed for use by one occupant only. Do not share a seat belt with another person, including children.
- Do not route the shoulder belt across the neck or under the arm.
- Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the seat belt.
- Seat belts are primarily designed for adult occupants. Children must use appropriate child restraint systems.
- Never clean the seat belt with bleach, dyes, or chemical solvents.
Correct Use of Seat Belts
While driving, do not excessively recline the seat backrest, extend your
head or arms out of the window, or lean too close to the airbag, as this may result in serious injury.
- The seatback should be in a vertical position and your back should make full contact with the backrest.
- The seat belt should not be twisted.
- The shoulder belt should be fastened across the shoulder and chest.
- The lap belt should be fastened as low as possible to ensure contact with the hip.
Seat Belt Safety Guidelines for Pregnant Women
Before driving, pregnant women should consult their doctor. The method for wearing seat belts is generally the same as for other occupants, but the following precautions should be observed:
- Adjust the lap belt so that it sits low on the hips, below the abdomen. Make sure the belt does not press on the stomach.
- The shoulder belt must pass over the shoulder and across the chest. It must not pass over the abdomen.
Incorrect use of the seat belt by a pregnant woman can cause serious
injury to the mother and the fetus during emergency braking or a collision.
Three-point Seat Belts
- Pick up the latch plate and pull the seat belt across your body. Do not twist the seat belt.
Pull the three-point seat belt across your body slowly. If it locks because you pull it too quickly, release it and let it retract slightly, then continue pulling it slowly across your body.
- Insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a ‘click’.
Pull the latch plate to check that it is
locked. Make sure the release button on the buckle is in a convenient position for unfastening the seat belt when needed.
- Tighten the lap belt by pulling up the shoulder belt.
- To release the seat belt, press the red button on the buckle. The seat belt will retract automatically.
Keep foreign objects such as food particles, nut shells, buttons, coins, or sticky liquids out of the seat belt buckle. They can cause the seat belt reminder or the buckle locking and unlocking functions
to fail.
Do not insert any objects other than the vehicle latch plate into the buckle. Inserting other objects can cause the buckle to fail, reducing the seat belt’s protective effect and possibly causing serious injury or
death.
After unfastening the seat belt, allow it to retract fully. This prevents damage
to the surrounding area from excessively fast retraction or obstruction from slow retraction.
Do not let the door touch the seat belt when closing it. Touching the seat belt
can damage both the belt and the door.
Seat Belt Pretensioner*
The seat belt has a pretensioner. In a collision, when the seat belt system reaches its trigger condition, the pretensioner
tightens the belt to protect the passenger. The pretensioner works only once. After a collision, contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet to replace the pretensioner, and check if other seat belt components need replacement.
Seat Belt Unfastened Reminder This vehicle has a seat belt reminder for the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers. When a seat belt is unfastened, the warning light on the meter instrument illuminates. The display also shows which seat has the unfastened seat belt.
When the power system is on, the warning lamp illuminates if the driver, front passenger, or rear passenger seat belt is unfastened.
- If the vehicle speed is 10–25 km/h or the vehicle moves forward more than about
300 metres, the lamp flashes slowly with a warning tone.
- If the vehicle speed exceeds 25 km/h, the lamp flashes quickly with a warning tone.
- If the vehicle speed is above 10 km/h and a seat belt is unfastened, the lamp flashes with a warning tone.
The lamp and warning tone turn off when the seat belt in the corresponding position is fastened.
- Fastening the seat belt correctly reduces the risk of injury during emergency braking or a traffic accident. The driver and all passengers must fasten their seat belts properly while driving.
- Pay attention to the warning lamp on the meter instrument. Ignoring it can cause serious injury or property damage.
Airbags Overview
- Airbags are part of the passive safety system, but they do not replace seat belts. The driver and all passengers must wear their seat belts when the vehicle is moving.
- Airbags do not deploy in all accidents. Deployment depends on the collision position, angle, severity, and type of object involved. When airbags deploy, they inflate with great force. The driver and front occupants must sit at a safe distance from the front airbags, wear seat belts correctly, and maintain a correct seating position to reduce the risk of serious injury or death.
- Make sure there are no obstructions in the airbag deployment area. Do not place any objects between an occupant and an airbag. Obstructions can prevent the airbag from inflating correctly or can be forced into the occupant during deployment, causing serious injury or death.
- Do not touch the airbag after deployment. It can be hot and cause burns.
- When the airbag deploys, it releases gas and dust. These substances can irritate the skin and eyes. Seek medical attention if necessary.
- Do not service, repair, remove, or replace any part of the airbag system yourself. Doing so can cause the system to malfunction and may result in serious injury.
- The airbag system provides protection only once. After deployment, the airbag must be replaced immediately at an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet.
Do not place infants or children in the front seat, or hold them there. The airbag inflates with great speed and force,
which can cause serious injury.
Position of Airbags
Frontal Airbag
In a frontal collision, the frontal airbags help protect passengers and reduce injury from the impact.
In a moderate to severe frontal or near- frontal collision that triggers the system, the airbag inflates with gas. It cushions the forward movement of the driver and front passenger, helping prevent direct contact with the steering wheel or instrument panel.
One airbag is mounted in the centre of the steering wheel, and another is mounted in the instrument panel above the glove box. Both are marked with ‘AIRBAG’.
Airbags deploy and deflate very
quickly. They do not provide protection in a possible second collision.
- Do not press or hit the driver airbag cover plate violently. This can deploy the airbag and cause personal injury.
- Do not place objects or pets on the instrument panel, glove box, or steering wheel where airbags are installed. They
can block airbag deployment or cause serious injury or death due to the airbag’s high inflation force. Do not modify, remove, strike, or open any frontal airbag components or cables. Doing so can cause the airbag to inflate unexpectedly or make the system inoperable, resulting in personal injury or death.
While the vehicle is moving, do not sit on the side of the seat or lean against
the instrument panel. Anyone close to the airbag can be seriously injured or killed when it inflates. Drivers and passengers must keep at least 25 cm distance from the airbag.
When the following conditions occur, contact a PROTON e.MAS service
outlet immediately:
- Frontal airbags have deployed.
- The front of the vehicle was impacted, but the frontal airbags did not deploy.
- The frontal airbag cover has cracks, scratches, or other damage.
Side Airbag
The side airbag provides additional protection for the driver and front passenger, complementing the protection offered by the seat belts. In the event of a moderate to severe side impact, the side airbag inflates and works in conjunction with the seat belts to help reduce injury.
Side airbags primarily help reduce chest injuries to the driver and front passenger.
Side airbags are mounted in the seatbacks of the driver’s seat and front passenger seat and are marked with “AIRBAG”.
Due to the high speed and force of side airbag deployment, do not place
your head or hands outside the window or near the side airbag deployment area while the vehicle is in motion. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
Do not install seat cover on the seat equipped with side airbag. Otherwise
it may affect the deployment of side airbag.
When the following conditions occur, contact an authorised PROTON e.
MAS service outlet immediately:
- The side airbags have been deployed.
- The door is impacted without triggering deployment of the side airbag.
- The seat cover at the side airbag assembly has cracks, scratches, or other forms of damage.
Before consulting the personnel of a PROTON e. MAS service outlet, do
not perform any of the following operations that may affect the normal operation of the side airbags:
- Installing electronic devices, such as mobile two-way radio communication devices.
- Refitting the passenger-side body structure.
Far Side Airbag*
The far side airbag provides additional protection for vehicle occupants, supplementing the safety offered by the seat belts. In the event of a moderate to severe side impact, the far side airbag inflates and works together with the seat belts to help reduce the risk of injury.
Far side airbags primarily help reduce contact injuries between the driver and front passenger, as well as the risk of collisions with hard interior objects such as the center console and seats.
The far side airbag is installed on the left side of the driver seat’s seatback.
Due to the high speed and force of far side airbag deployment, do not place
your head or hands outside the window or near the deployment area while the vehicle is in motion. Failure to follow this may result in serious injury or death.
Do not install a seat cover on a seat equipped with a far side airbag, as it
may interfere with airbag deployment.
When the following conditions occur, contact an authorised PROTON e.
MAS service outlet immediately:
- The far side airbag have been deployed.
- The door is impacted, but the far side airbag did not deploy.
- The seat cover at the far side airbag assembly has cracks, scratches, or other damage.
Before consulting personnel at a PROTON e. MAS service outlet, do
not perform any of the following operations, as they may affect the normal operation of the far side airbags:
- Installing electronic devices, such as mobile two-way radio communication devices.
- Refitting the passenger-side body structure.
Side Curtain Airbag
Side curtain airbags provide additional protection for the driver, front passenger, and rear outboard passengers, supplementing the protection offered by the seat belts. In the event of a moderate to severe side impact, the side curtain airbags inflate and work together with the seat belts to help reduce impact injuries. They are primarily designed to reduce head injuries for the driver, front passenger, and rear outboard passengers.
The side curtain airbags are installed above the doors on both the left and right sides of the vehicle and are labeled with the “AIRBAG” marking.
Side curtain airbags deploy with
considerable speed and force. Do not place your head or hands outside the window or near the deployment area while the vehicle is in motion, as this may result in serious injury.
Do not install any decorative parts or accessories near the side curtain airbags, including on the windshield, door glass, side pillars, roof sides, auxiliary handles, or stick microphones. If the side curtain airbags deploy, these items may be propelled by the strong deployment force, which can cause personal injury or interfere
with proper airbag operation.
When the following conditions occur, contact an authorised PROTON e.
MAS service outlet immediately:
- The side curtain airbags have been deployed.
- The door is impacted, but the side curtain airbag did not deploy.
- When the front pillar, rear pillar, roof side member, or ceiling components fitted with side curtain airbags are scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
Before consulting the personnel of a PROTON e. MAS service outlet, do
not make any of the following operations, otherwise it may affect the normal operation of side curtain airbag:
- Installing electronic devices, such as mobile two-way radio communication devices.
- Refitting the suspension system.
- Repairing at or near the bracket.
Deployment of Airbags
Deployment of Frontal Airbags The frontal airbags deploy when the vehicle hits a solid wall at 25 km/h or above.
In the event of a collision, airbag deployment depends on the type of object struck, the direction of impact, and the vehicle’s deceleration speed. The frontal airbags deploy during a frontal collision when the airbag system’s trigger conditions are met.
Deployment of Side, Far Side, and Side Curtain Airbags
When the vehicle experiences a moderate or severe side impact and the designed
activation threshold is reached, the side airbags, far side airbags, and side curtain airbags will deploy.
In the event of a side impact, deployment of the side airbags, far side airbags, and side curtain airbags helps reduce the risk of upper body and pelvis injuries.
Situations Where Frontal Airbags May Not Deploy
- The vehicle is not started.
- Collision with easily deformable objects, such as trees.
- Collision with low objects, such as curbs or steps, during driving.
- Sudden drop into a trench or pit.
- Underride collision with the rear of a truck.
- Rollover.
- Side impact, rear impact, or minor frontal impact.
- Malfunction of the airbag system.
- Other special cases.
Situations Where Side, Far Side, and Side Curtain Airbags May Deploy
- Frontal or near-frontal impact.
- Rear impact.
- Rollover.
- Minor side impact.

Use of Child Restraint System (CRS)
Safety for Infants, Young Children and Older Children
Infants and Young Children
The seat belt and airbag systems in this vehicle are not designed to protect infants or young children. Appropriate child restraint systems must be used for infants and young children.
- If the shoulder belt becomes wrapped around a child’s neck, the child may suffer serious injury or even death when the seat belt retracts. Do not allow children to remain alone in the vehicle or to play with the seat belts.
- Do not carry an infant or young child on your lap while the vehicle is in motion. In the event of a collision, the forces involved will make it impossible to hold an infant or young child. Infants and young children must be secured in an appropriate child restraint system.
- The neck of an infant or young child is not fully developed, and the head is proportionally heavier than the rest of the body. To reduce the risk of neck and head injuries in a collision, infants and young children require comprehensive support.
Older Children
Older children who are beyond the range of child safety seats must wear seat belts.
The instructions provided with the child safety seat specify the applicable weight
and height limits. Children who meet the following conditions must use the child safety seat together with the seat belt:
- The child cannot sit with their back fully against the seat back, and their knees cannot bend naturally over the edge of the seat.
- The shoulder belt does not fit properly over the child’s shoulder when the seat belt is fastened.
- The lap belt cannot be positioned low and snug across the child’s hips and close to the buttocks.
- The seat belt cannot remain properly fastened during vehicle driving.
An older child must wear the seat belt correctly. Make sure that the seat belt does not pass across the child’s face or neck and
that the lap belt fits snugly across the hips.
This allows the seat belt to provide optimal restraint force in a collision.
Make sure that the seat belt is not fastened across the abdomen. Otherwise, serious injury may occur in the event of a collision. Children who do not have their seat belts fastened may collide with other occupants who are wearing seat belts or be thrown out of the vehicle in the event of a collision, resulting in serious injury or death.
Two children must never share a seat belt. Otherwise, the seat belt cannot properly distribute impact forces, which may result in serious injury or death in the event
of a crash.
Do not allow the seat belt to be positioned behind a child’s back when
the child is wearing a seat belt. Otherwise,
serious injury or death may occur in the
event of a collision. The seat belt should be positioned across the shoulder and chest.
Description of Child Restraint System
It is generally recommended that infants and young children up to 3–4 years of age use a rearward-facing child safety seat.
For children who are too large for a rearward-facing child safety seat, a forward- facing child safety seat may be used.
For children whose size exceeds the limits of a forward-facing child safety seat, an auxiliary seat cushion (booster seat) should be used together with the seat belt.
Installation of Child Restraint System (CRS)
For optimal safety, children and infants should always be properly secured in a child restraint system (CRS) on the rear seats.
Before installing a child restraint system on the rear seat, carefully read
the instructions provided with the system and ensure that it is compatible with this vehicle.
Warning labels are attached to the front and back of the front passenger side sun visor, indicating that the vehicle is equipped with frontal airbags and that related safety precautions must be observed.
- Do not use a rearward-facing child restraint on any seat protected by an active frontal airbag.
- Do not place a rearward-facing child restraint on the front passenger seat. Infants and young children may be seriously injured or killed if the airbag inflates while they are too close to it.
Installation of ISOFIX Child Restraint System (CRS)
Dedicated ISOFIX anchorage points are located in the gaps on both sides at the rear of the seat cushion. These anchorage points are used to install a child restraint system that meets ISO specifications on the rear seat. When using ISOFIX, it is not necessary to secure the child restraint system with the seat belt. Always follow the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions when installing and using the system, as improper installation may reduce its protective effectiveness.
Confirm with the manufacturer that the child restraint system is suitable
for this vehicle.
Install a child safety seat that requires a top tether according to the following procedure:
- Lower the seat headrest to the lowest position.
- Locate the ISOFIX anchorage points on the vehicle seat.
- Align the ISOFIX connectors on the child restraint system with the vehicle’s ISOFIX anchorage points and insert them securely.
- Make sure all buckles are securely fastened.
- Make sure the child seat’s top tether (the strap located at the top rear of the child restraint system) is attached to the designated vehicle anchor point. If the tether is too short, use an approved extension strap.
Make sure the top tether strap is securely fastened. Push and pull the
child restraint system in several directions to verify it is firmly installed. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper
installation.
If the child restraint system is not correctly installed on the ISOFIX anchorage points, it may not function properly. This can result in serious injury or death to the child. When installing a child restraint system, make sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
WARNING: Child restraint anchorages are designed to withstand only the forces generated by properly installed child restraints. Under no circumstances should they be used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for attaching any other items or equipment to the vehicle.
Always install the child restraint system while the vehicle is stationary. When the ISOFIX child restraint system is properly attached to the ISOFIX anchorage points, a
“click” sound will confirm it is securely fixed.
Child Safety Lock
The left and right rear doors are equipped with child safety locks. Use the child safety locks whenever the rear seats on the left or right sides are occupied by children.
The child safety lock switch is located on the outer edge of the rear door. Move the switch in the direction of the arrow as shown in the figure. When engaged, the child safety lock
is in the “locked” position: the door cannot
be opened from the inside but can still be opened from the outside, helping to protect the safety of children.
After setting the child safety lock, make sure to check that the door cannot be opened from the inside to ensure
the lock is functioning correctly.

Safety Anti-pinch Protection
Tilting and anti-pinching
- When the sunroof glass is tilting, if it encounters obstacles, the sunroof glass will be returned to the closed position.
- When the sunroof glass is closing in the lifting position, if an obstacle is encountered, the lifting action stops.
Sunroof glass and sunroof shade anti- pinch
- If the sunroof glass or sunroof shade encounters an obstacle when it is opened in the sliding mode, it will be returned by 50mm or fully close.
- If the sunroof glass or sunroof shade encounters an obstacle when it is opened in the sliding mode, it will be returned by 200mm or return to the fully open position.
If the sunroof fails to close or open due to the anti-pinch function during operation, press and hold the close or open button within 10 seconds after the anti-pinch function retracts and stops. At this time, the
anti-pinch function and automatic operation function will be suspended, allowing manual closing or opening of the sunroof or sunshade. When the button is released, the sunroof or sunshade will stop operating. After 10 seconds, the anti-pinch function and automatic operation function will return to normal.
Sunroof Self-learning
If the low-voltage battery of vehicle is charged, disconnected or does not work properly, the adaptive-learning of sunroof which has anti-pinch function is required to enable the automatic operation and anti- pinch function.
The self-learning steps of sunroof soft switch are as follows:
- Move the sunroof and sunshade to closing point;
- Click the full close button and hold it. The sunroof will move in the closed direction after 10s, and after the sunroof moves to the mechanical hard stop centre, it will retract a certain distance to stop at the fully closed point. The sunshade moves in the closing direction, and the sunshade moves to the mechanical hard stop position and then retracts a certain distance to stop at the fully closed point. Keep the switch unmoved. The sunshade stops when it reaches the fully open position, the sunroof lifts and closes, and stops when it reaches the fully open position;
- The sunroof stops when it reaches the fully closed position, the sunshade stops when it reaches the fully closed position, and the initialisation learning
movement is completed after releasing the switch.
The self-learning steps of the sunroof switch are as follows:
- Push the sunroof switch forward to the first gear position (do not let go during this period, and do not push the sunroof switch to the limit position).
- At this time, the operating logic of the sunroof self-learning is: the sunroof glass and sunroof sunshade will run to fully closed → fully open → fully closed.
- When the sunroof glass and sunroof
sunshade run to fully closed for the second time without any subsequent operation, the sunroof self-learning is completed.
During the self-learning process of the sunroof module, the sunroof switch button must be continuously pressed. If the sunroof switch button is released during the self-learning process, the self-learning will
fail.

Driving Instructions
Under the following conditions, pay special attention to the lower parts of the vehicle to avoid scratching the vehicle chassis.
- Driving on poorly maintained roads.
- Driving over curbs.
- Driving on steep slopes.
Be extra careful when the vehicle is fully loaded.
New Vehicle Running-in
The running-in of a new vehicle helps improve the surface quality of moving
parts and optimise friction and wear, extending service life and reducing fuel consumption. During the running-in period, observe the following requirements:
- When starting and driving, avoid fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
- During the running-in period, drive on flat roads and avoid muddy or sandy roads.
- Avoid prolonged engine idling.
- Avoid sudden acceleration.
- Avoid sudden braking during the first 300 km.
- Do not maintain the same speed for a long time, whether high or low.
Driving in Winter
To reduce wear, extend engine life, and lower fuel consumption, drive at a
low speed (under 40 km/h) for a short period before resuming normal driving after starting the vehicle.
The following driving practices can help extend oil service life:
- Urban conditions: driving at an average speed of 30– 40 km/h for more than 50 minutes.
- High-speed conditions: driving at an average speed above 80 km/h for more than 30 km.
Before stopping after a short drive, press the accelerator pedal several times to remove water vapor from the exhaust pipe.
Winter tyre
It is recommended to use winter tyres if you often drive the vehicle on roads with ice or snow. Although all-season tyres can provide excellent comprehensive performance on most surfaces, they may be unable to provide expected friction force or the same performance as winter tyres when running on roads covered with ice or snow.
Winter tyres improve grip on ice and snow but may reduce traction, increase noise, and wear faster on dry roads. Be aware of changes in handling and braking after installation.
For information on tyre supply and selection, consult an authorised PROTON e. MAS service outlet. If using winter tyres:
- Use tyres of the same brand and tread pattern on all four wheels.
- Only use radial tyres with the same size, load range, and speed rating as the original tyres.
- If winter tyres have a lower speed rating, do not exceed their maximum rated speed.
Tyre chain
Tyre chain is not included in the equipment of this vehicle. The following information is for reference only.
Decide whether to fit tyre chains based on actual road conditions.
When using tyre chains, avoid fully loading the vehicle and drive carefully at low speed. Otherwise, vehicle control may be affected and damage may occur.
When installing tyre chains, select chains that match the vehicle’s tyre size and install them strictly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Do not use tyre chains on dry roads.
- Avoid sharp turns and sudden braking when driving with tyre chains.
- After installing tyre chains, do not exceed the maximum speed recommended by the chain manufacturer.
- Tyre chains may only be installed on the drive wheels and must not be used on a single wheel.
ECO Driving
The fuel consumption can differ by 10%
~15% among different driving styles. Drive
economically for energy conservation and environmental protection.
Drive safely, obey traffic regulations, and do not obstruct other road users
or public transport operations.
- Smooth Starting and Acceleration
Fuel consumption is high during starting and acceleration. Avoid pressing the accelerator pedal hard when starting or accelerating. Smooth starting and acceleration help save fuel.
- Maintain an Economical Driving Speed The economical speed is 40 to 60 km/h on general roads and 80 to 100 km/h on highways. On the premise of safe driving, maintaining a constant economic speed helps save more fuel.
- Proper Use of the Energy Recovery System
For safety, adjust braking intensity according to road conditions and vehicle status. To maximize the energy recovery system, brake gently and avoid sudden deceleration.
- Minimize Wind Resistance
Opening windows at high speed increases wind resistance and fuel consumption. Keep windows closed when driving above 80 km/h.
- Maintain Correct Tyre Pressure
Check tyre pressure regularly. Under- inflated tyres increase rolling resistance and fuel consumption.
- Proper Use of the Air Conditioner (A/C) Use the A/C only when necessary, as heating and cooling consume significant energy and reduce range or increase fuel consumption. Using the internal recirculation mode improves efficiency. At low speeds, open windows for ventilation.
- Reduce Vehicle Load Each additional kilogram of load increases power consumption. Regularly remove unnecessary items from the vehicle.
- Regular Maintenance Maintain the vehicle on schedule to keep it in good condition. A well- maintained engine improves driving safety and helps reduce fuel consumption.
- Plan Efficient Routes Plan routes to avoid traffic congestion. This saves time and fuel.
- Do Not Change Tyre Size Do not use tyres of a different size than specified. Larger or wider tyres can increase fuel consumption.
Driving Through Water
To prevent damage when driving through water (e. g., flooded roads), follow these precautions:
- Check the water depth before driving. The water level should not exceed the edge of the side member.
- Drive at low speed. High speeds can create waves that may allow water into the engine air intake or other parts.
- Do not park, reverse, start, or turn off the engine while in water.
- Braking on wet or muddy roads may be less effective and increase stopping distance, increasing accident risk.
- Avoid sudden braking immediately after driving through water.
- After driving through water, clean and dry the brakes by intermittent braking. Brake gently when traffic allows to dry the brakes and maintain safety.
- Driving through water may severely damage parts such as the engine, transmission, chassis, or electrical system.
- Waves from oncoming vehicles may raise water above the safe level for this vehicle.
- Pits, holes, or stones may be hidden underwater, making passage more difficult.
- Do not drive through salt water. Salt causes rust. Rinse all parts that contact salt water with fresh water immediately.
- After driving through water, visit an authorised PROTON e. MAS service outlet for a full inspection to identify potential issues and ensure driving safety.
Vehicle Parking
- Park the vehicle on a flat, solid and safe road that does not affect the traffic of other vehicles.
- When parking, first depress the brake pedal and then use the electronic parking brake until the vehicle stops slowly and stays still, and then engage the shift lever into P gear.
- If there are flammable objects under the vehicle body, they may come into contact with high-temperature exhaust parts and
catch fire. Therefore, never park the vehicle on paper, leaves, dry grass, or other flammable materials.
- Park on a flat, solid, and safe road without obstructing traffic.
- When parking, press the brake pedal, apply the electronic parking brake until the vehicle stops, then shift into P gear.
- Do not park over flammable materials such as paper, leaves, or dry grass, as they may contact hot exhaust parts and catch fire.
Never leave children or people with limited mobility in the vehicle. They
may release the parking brake or operate the gear shift lever, causing the vehicle to move and resulting in injury or death.

Service Brake
During driving, the actual braking distance will be different due to road conditions, vehicle weight and applied braking force. Sufficient distance should be maintained from the vehicle in front, and cadence braking or emergency braking should be avoided.
The first 500 kilometers is the running-in period for a new vehicle. The braking distance may be long and the braking effect may be slightly poor, which is normal. You should drive carefully and keep a sufficient safe distance.
Do not add non-original accessories to avoid affecting vehicle performance
and causing traffic accidents.
When pressing the brake pedal, if there is a sharp metal friction sound at
the vehicle brake, go to an authorised
PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance immediately.
Do not step on the brake pedal during
driving. It may cause wear and overheating of the braking parts and prolong the braking distance.
Brake pedal
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driving → Brake Pedal to select a preferred brake pedal mode according to driving habits.
Comfort mode: the braking force is controlled, the deceleration is smooth and comfortable.
Sports mode: The deceleration response is quick and the strength is sufficient.
Energy Recovery
The brake system also has energy recovery function: When the vehicle is coasting or braking in drive gear (D), the kinetic energy is converted into electric energy and charged into power battery for recovery, so that the driving range is improved.
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driving→ Energy Recovery, and select the energy recovery intensity in this interface. The higher the intensity, the higher the energy recovered while coasting.
The braking effect produced by energy recovery can't meet the braking requirement to ensure safe driving, so the driver should apply braking to the vehicle in time according to the actual
situation.
- When the vehicle decelerates, a slight feeling of halt and motor noise may occur, which is normal.
- When the power battery is full or the power battery temperature is too high or too low, the energy recovery is
automatically reduced to prevent battery damage.
- When the motor temperature is too high, to prevent it from being damaged, the energy recovery is automatically reduced.
- The Energy recovery defaults to Auto.

Press the Park (P) button when the vehicle is powered on to automatically park via EPB.
Manual emergency braking
In case of an emergency during driving, press and hold the Park (P) button to enable the emergency braking function. The emergency brake can be released once the P gear button is released.
Do not use the EPB for emergency brake during normal driving.If the EPB
is used repeatedly to slow down the vehicle, the brake system may be seriously damaged.
Incorrect use of the electronic parking brake may result in personal injury or death. Unless in an emergency, do not apply the electronic parking brake for the service
braking of this vehicle.
When the EPB is released, the vehicle will lose its parking function. To avoid vehicle damage, serious personal injury, do not perform this operation on a sloping road.
Comfortable Braking
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driving to enable or disable the Comfort Braking function in the interface. After this function is turned on, the hydraulic brake pressure will
be released automatically when the vehicle is about to stop for smooth parking.
The comfort braking function does not work in low-speed driving conditions and emergency braking conditions. It is normal that the braking reaction force will be greater when the Comfort Braking function does not work.
AUTO HOLD
The Auto Hold function can help the driver to start more comfortably on sloping roads. After releasing the brake pedal, the system holds braking, so that the driver has enough time to step on the accelerator pedal to start, reducing the risk of rolling backward.
Depending on the stress, the vehicle may move even when Auto Hold is activated.
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driving → Driving Scene Assistance to enable or disable Auto Hold function in the interface.
Auto Hold on
When the power system is running, with the driver door closed and the seat belt fastened, click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driving → Driving Scene Assistance to turn on the Auto Hold switch and enable the Auto Hold function in the interface.
Auto Hold off
When the power system is running, with the driver door closed and the seat belt fastened, click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle

Assistance to turn off the Auto Hold switch and disable the Auto Hold function in the interface.
Auto Hold activation and deactivation
- After starting the vehicle, closing the driver door, and fastening the seat belt, with the Auto Hold function enabled, if the gear is in D or N, the brake pedal is depressed, and the vehicle speed is zero, the Auto Hold function will be activated. The Auto Hold indicator on the instrument cluster display will turn on;
- After lightly depressing the accelerator pedal or deeply depressing the brake pedal, the parking is automatically released, and the Auto Hold indicator on the instrument cluster display turns off;
- After this function is activated, the vehicle switches to EPB mode if no operation is performed for more than 10 minutes, and the Electronic Parking
Brake (EPB) system status indicator turns on.
Auto Hold force exit
When the Auto Hold function has been activated, the seat belt is unfastened, the driver door is opened, or the power system is stopped, if EPB is performed at this time, the Auto Hold status indicator on the instrument cluster display will turn off and the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) indicator will turn on.
Post Impact Brake (PIB)
After a crash, PIB decelerates the vehicle down to standstill and holds the vehicle stationary. The overall intention with the function is that the vehicle kinetic energy shall be reduced. The driver shall also be able to regain control of the vehicle faster after a first impact, by overriding the function. Both contribute to mitigate or avoid subsequent collisions.
When post impact braking is operating, the hazard warning lights flash.
Post impact braking is enabled by default once the vehicle is started, this function cannot be disabled.
If the Anti-lock Brake System is damaged during the collision, Post Impact Braking will not be triggered.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The vehicle is equipped with ABS to prevent the wheels from locking when you apply the maximum braking force. In most road conditions, the steering control performance of the vehicle under emergency braking can be improved.
The braking distance will be longer on rough, gravelly or snow covered roads than on normal roads.
- During braking, you can feel the continuous “Cluck” sound from the front compartment and the vibration from the brake pedal. This is caused by the normal operation of the anti-lock braking system, this is not a system fault.
- When the anti-lock braking system is no longer in use, it feels that the brake pedal will return to the state of non anti-lock braking.
Electronic Braking-force Distribution (EBD)
During braking, the Electronic Braking-force Distribution (EBD) will automatically adjust the brake force distribution ratio of the front and rear axles to improve the braking efficiency, and cooperate with ABS to improve the braking stability, thus ensuring the stability of the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is a kind of active safety technology that assists the driver in controlling the vehicle. When instability is detected, the system intervenes by applying brake force to individual wheels or reducing powertrain torque, guiding the vehicle back to the correct route and helping to prevent accidents.
The ESC system is only an auxiliary system. There are still great dangers
on smooth and wet roads. Please drive with caution.
ESC is active when the vehicle has been started. To keep control of the vehicle direction, the system should always be activated. If an emergency situation occurs while driving the vehicle, the ESC status indicator will flash on the instrument cluster. This also occurs when the traction control system is active. You may hear some noise or feel the vibration of brake pedal, which is normal. Please continue operating the vehicle in your desired direction. If a fault of the ESC system is detected, the ESC status indicator will be always on and the system will not work properly. At this time, the drive mode should be adjusted.
When driver assistance is active or energy recovery is set to Medium/
High, the ESC button is greyed out while ESC remains functional.
ESC Off
When the vehicle is started, click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driving → Driving Scene Assistance, and then click the electronic stability control button to disable ESC. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Off indicator on the instrument cluster display turns on accordingly.
If sufficient traction cannot be achieved, ESC can be turned off in the following situations.
- When the vehicle runs in deep snow or soft road.
- When the vehicle is stuck (such as muddy road) and needs to be moved forward and backward.
- When the vehicle travels with tyre chains.
ESC On
Reactivate the electronic stability control via the multimedia display. At this time, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Off indicator will turn off.
Brake Assist (BA)
During emergency braking, the brake assist system will increase the braking force and shorten the braking distance.
Brake assist system can only help the driver increase the braking force. It
does not mean that accidents can be avoided. Therefore, you should always keep the distance and drive carefully.
Traction Control System (TCS)
TCS is used to prevent traction loss of the drive wheels. After the system detects the slipping of the drive wheels, it will apply brakes to the idle drive wheels to prevent them from spinning.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
When starting on a ramp, the driver releases the brake pedal, and the Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) can maintain the braking force for about two seconds to effectively prevent rolling.
The hill-start assist function can only be activated when the parking brake
is fully released.
The Hill-start Assist Control function only maintains the brake pressure shortly when the driver releases the brake pedal. If the accelerator pedal isn’t pressed or the parking brake isn’t pulled up, the vehicle may slip back on the slope after 2 seconds. It is recommended to take care
when starting on steep inclines.
Hill Descent Control (HDC)
HDC can actively brake the vehicle when it is going downhill to ensure that the driver can drive down the steep slope safely at a constant speed.
- HDC only plays an auxiliary role. At any time, the driver should be responsible for the safety of the vehicle and be aware of their surroundings.
- When a slope is too large, HDC may not be able to keep the vehicle driving down the steep slope at a constant speed. The vehicle speed can then be controlled by using the brake pedal.
System On/Off
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driving → Driving Scene Assistance to enable or
disable Hill Descent Control (HDC) in this interface.
- HDC can only be activated when the vehicle speed is less than 35 km/h, and it
will be automatically deactivated when the vehicle speed is higher than 60 km/h.
- HDC cannot be enabled or automatically disabled when the brake temperature is too high.
- If the Hill Descent Control (HDC) fault warning light on the instrument cluster does not light up or turns yellow when turning on the HDC function on the multimedia display, it indicates that the HDC system cannot be activated.
Anti Rolling Program (ARP)
The degree of vehicle roll can be calculated by means of signals from the wheel sensors by the Anti Rolling Program to provide additional control of the wheels on the outside of the bend. When the vehicle is experiencing severe roll, the Anti Rolling Program will quickly adjust the braking force distribution between the two wheels, and at the same time reduce the torque output of the drive motor. In this way, the balance of the vehicle can be restored in the shortest possible time, avoiding the body from rolling over and ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers.
Vehicle Sound for Pedestrian
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Sound Settings → Prompt Sound, and select the sound effect for Vehicle Sound for Pedestrian function in the interface. When
the vehicle is in Drive (D) or Reverse (R) and the vehicle speed is less than 30km/h, the vehicle sound for pedestrian is activated to alert pedestrians to the approaching vehicle.
Electric Power Steering (EPS)
The electric power steering system monitors the driving speed and adjusts the power assistance in real time to ensure the maneuverability of low-speed steering and the stability of high-speed steering, and improve the sense of safety.
If the steering is difficult or the Electric Power Steering (EPS) status indicator on the meter instrument lights up, contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet as soon as possible.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (- TPMS) monitors tyre pressure through sensors mounted on each wheel valve.
The tyre pressure monitor sensors relay the individual tyre pressure in real time which is displayed on the instrument cluster display.
- Low tyre pressure alarm
If the sensors detect low tyre pressure, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (- TPMS) status indicator lights up continuously until the alert is dismissed. There will also be a prompt sound and pop-up on the alarm interface. The low tyre pressure alert is resolved after the tyres are inflated to the recommended tyre pressure value when they are cold.
- Sensor fault alarm
When a sensor fault warning is triggered, there will be a prompt sound and pop-up on the alarm interface.
- TPMS signal abnormality alarm
When a TPMS signal fault warning is triggered, the TPMS status indicator will flash for 60 seconds, and stay on until the alarm is dismissed. There will also be
a prompt sound and pop-up on the alarm interface.
- Multi-signal alarm
If the system detects warnings for multiple tyres, the instrument cluster will alert based on the sequence of detection.
- High tyre temperature alarm
If the sensors detect high tyre temperature, there will be a prompt sound and pop-up on the alarm interface.
- Rapid tyre pressure release alarm
If the sensors detect a rapid drop in tyre pressure, there will be a prompt sound and pop-up on the alarm interface.
If the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System status indicator light illuminates, it indicates that the pressure of one or more tyres is abnormal. Park the vehicle as soon as possible, and inspect tyre pressure and inflate the tyre to a correct pressure value. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System of the vehicle can remind you of abnormal tyre pressure but it cannot substitute normal tyre maintenance.
Tyre pressure monitoring system self-learning
After performing tyre rotation, the tyre pressure monitoring system needs to be self-learned.
Prior to vehicle self-learning, lock the vehicle using the smart key for at least
20 minutes.
The self-learning methods are as follows:
- Drive the vehicle at a speed of 30 km/h or more;
- Driving time should not be less than 20 minutes, and temporary parking should not exceed 5 minutes;
- If the tire pressure monitoring system still fails to recognize the tire pressure correctly after repeating the above operations, contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet.
- The recommended tyre pressure value can be viewed from the tyre pressure label on the vehicle.
- Please check the tyre pressure regularly and make sure it is within the specified range.
- The TPMS cannot indicate dramatic tyre damage caused by external factors (such as a blowout) in advance, nor can it identify natural, uniform pressure loss over long periods of time in all tyres.
- When the vehicle is started, the information displayed on the tyre pressure monitoring interface of the instrument cluster is the historical value. When the vehicle is driven at a speed of 30 km/h or above for a few minutes, the system will gradually update the tyre pressure and temperature information.
- Tyre pressure needs to be adjusted seasonally, inflated in winter and deflated in summer. Tyres should be inflated when they are cold.
- It is normal for the tyre pressure alarm to occur when the vehicle is driven in low and high altitude areas, and the tyre pressure should be adjusted according to the tyre pressure alarm.
- When driving the vehicle in winter, if all four tyres are replaced with snow tyres (the sensors are not installed on the tyres), the instrument cluster will prompt that the sensors are missing and give a system failure alarm.
The tyre pressure monitoring system may work abnormally due to the
following reasons:
- Installation of incompatible tyres or modification of wheels.
- Presence of fluid in the tyre or injection of tyre repair fluid.
- Driving the vehicle with anti-skid chains installed.
- Proximity to sites such as television stations, airports, etc. that generate strong radio waves or electrical noise interference.
- Installing accessories that cause interference to the vehicle radio receiver or electrical system, etc.
Refueling
Fuel is flammable, volatile and can easily explode in a space with poor air
circulation.
Note the followings when refueling:
- The vehicle exits the READY mode.
- Do not carry fireworks near the vehicle.
- Do not make or answer phone calls.
- For self-service refueling, eliminate static electricity from both hands through the anti-static button of the refueling machine before operation.
- Observe other precautions posted by the gas station.
The fuel filler cap is located on the left rear side of the vehicle.
- With the vehicle unlocked, press the fuel filler cap button on the multimedia home screen or the Dock bar fuel filler cap button on the multimedia display, and then press the right side of the fuel filler cap to open it;
- Slowly turn the filler cap counterclockwise and remove it. When refueling, you can place the filler cap in the bracket of the fuel filler door.
- After refueling, reinstall the fuel filler cap and turn it clockwise until a click is heard to ensure that it is in place;
- After closing the fuel filler cap, make sure it is fully covered.
- Do not overfill the fuel until the first stop.
- Do not open the fuel filler cap too quickly or overfill the fuel, otherwise the fuel may spill out and cause serious burns. If fuel splashes on a person or the vehicle body, clean it immediately.
- If a fire breaks out while refueling, do not pull out the fuel nozzle. The gas pump must be closed or the staff of the gas station must be notified to cut off the oil flow and leave the scene immediately.
Three-way Catalytic Converter
The exhaust system is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter, which converts harmful gases such as CO, HC and NOx emitted from the exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction.
Engine malfunctions, such as misfires or the after-fires, can cause severe damage to the three-way catalytic converter.
Please go to an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance.
Gasoline Particulate Filter*
Regeneration Procedure
During driving, when the particles captured in the GPF accumulate to a certain amount, the vehicle will automatically start the regeneration procedure to fully burn the particle matters and restore the performance of the GPF.
However, under certain special operating conditions, the GPF has no chance to regenerate or the regeneration is incomplete. When the amount of particulate matter reaches a certain level, an alarm will be triggered. The GPF status indicator light on the combination instrument will turn on, or a text prompt "GPF Fully Loaded/ Frequent Regeneration, Please Refer to the User Manual" will appear. At this time, the GPF needs to perform parked regeneration, and please follow the suggestions below:
- When driving on roads with good road conditions, maintain at a constant speed of 80 km/h or above for 50 minutes or more (if the GPF status indicator turns off or text prompt disappears during the driving process, continue driving under current conditions for more than 50 minutes) to fully burn the particles inside the GPF to restore its performance;
- Please drive moderately to an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for GPF parked regeneration, and if the GPF status indicator or message disappears upon arrival, you must inform the service outlet to request the procedure;
- It is recommended to use drive cycle regeneration at high speed for GPF full load mode processing. If the conditions
are not allowed, an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet can be selected for stationary regeneration to restore the performance of the GPF.
To assist the drive cycle regeneration process, the following recommendations should be observed:
- Avoid driving the vehicle continuously at speed lower than 50 km/h until the GPF status indicator turns off or text prompt disappears;
- Avoid frequent stopping or turning off the engine.
Change the engine oil regularly and fill it with gas of the specifications recommended by the technical information of the vehicle to prevent problems such as increased particulate matters or catalytic converter poisoning caused by substandard
oil.
Introduction to Intelligent Driving System
Medium-range Radar*
- Rear side medium-range radar
The intelligent driving system detects targets through rear side medium-range radar. During daily use, please note the followings:
- Adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, fog, etc. may lead to a decrease in the performance of rear side medium- range radar. In such cases, some targets will not be detected, or detected too late.
- Keep the rear side medium-range radar clean. No other obstacles are allowed in the field of view of the rear side medium- range radar, otherwise the performance of the intelligent driving system will be affected.
- Under the influence of extraordinary situations, the performance of rear side medium-range radar may be degraded.
- Modification of the rear-side medium- range radars is prohibited. When the rear side medium-range radars are subject to strong vibration or slight impact, the calibration will be affected.
If the visual field of rear side medium-range radar is dirty or blocked, the instrument cluster display will prompt a text and audio alarm to remind the driver to wipe or drive on road for some time after wiping.
The rear side medium-range radar may show temporary obstruction under certain road conditions, which is normal. Ensure the surface of rear side medium-range radar is clear and drive the vehicle under normal road conditions for some time, the rear side medium-range radar will automatically resume normal. If self-recovery is not possible, please visit an authorised PROTON e.MAS service
outlet for inspection and repair.
Under the following situations, be sure to go to an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for professional calibration of rear side medium-range radar:
- The rear side medium-range radar has been removed.
- The toe-in and rear wheel camber have been adjusted during four-wheel alignment.
- After a collision.
- Intelligent driving system is degraded or abnormal.
Front camera
- Front camera
The intelligent driving system recognises the lane boundary and detects the target through the front camera.
In daily use of vehicle, keep the front camera clean, and the visual field of
front camera shall not be blocked by pollutants (such as rain, snow, fog, water vapor, ice and frost, leaves, bird droppings, etc.) or interfered by strong light. Otherwise, the performance of smart driving will be affected. The front camera has blind spots and distance recognition limitations, and it is impossible to effectively identify objects beyond the front camera's field of view or within the limit of the field of view.
- In adverse conditions such as rain, snow, fog and dust, the recognition capability of front camera will be affected, which could result in reduced system performance or function deactivation. The driver should always monitor the vehicle status and take over the vehicle.
- If a system failure occurs in the front camera, the instrument luster display will
prompt in text. Please visit a PROTON
e.MAS service outlet for maintenance.
- In order to protect the electronic components, the system function will be temporarily disabled when the front camera is at extremely high temperature. The instrument cluster display will prompt in text. When the temperature drops sufficiently, the camera unit will automatically restart and the system function will return to normal.
- If the front camera is blocked, the vehicle enters a dark environment, the light environment suddenly changes, or is interfered by strong light, it may result in reduced system performance or function deactivation. The driver should always monitor the vehicle status and take over the vehicle.
- It is prohibited to refit front camera. When the front camera is subject to strong vibration or slight impact, it may need to be re-calibrated. The deformation, damage, replacement and coating of the front windshield may also lead to inaccurate identification.
Blindness of the front camera is a normal response under extraordinary scenarios. It can be restored by avoiding dark environments and direct sunlight when the front camera view is not obstructed. If it cannot be restored, please visit a PROTON
e.MAS service outlet for maintenance.
When the whole vehicle is powered on, the Intelligent Driving System needs to be initialised, and it cannot work
normally during initialisation.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) can control the vehicle speed based on the set speed and the headway in the range of 0 to 150 km/h.
ACC mainly provides driving assistance for the driver on highways or elevated roads with good road conditions. The driver should keep control of the vehicle at all times.
ACC detects vehicles ahead using the front camera, and maintain the headway set by the driver through automatic speed adjustment. The driver can control the vehicle at any time according to the driving conditions.
When the vehicle is powered on, ACC will start self-check, and the system is
disabled at this stage.
- ACC is only an assistance system instead of an emergency warning and collision avoidance system, which cannot substitute the driver. The driver must always keep control of vehicle and take full driving responsibility for vehicle operation. The driver should drive according to laws and regulations.
- ACC does not respond to vehicles or objects crossing carriageway.
- The change of vehicle posture due to excessive load in the luggage area will degrade or invalidate the target recognition of ACC system.
- When suddenly accelerating and approaching the vehicle ahead at high speed (an obvious speed difference with
the vehicle ahead), the driver should brake in time.
- When driving on a steep downslope, it may be difficult to keep a proper distance from the vehicle ahead. In these situations, be particularly careful and always be ready to brake. Do not use ACC under heavy load.
- ACC cannot recognise pedestrians, tricycles and vehicles loaded with irregularly shaped goods or irregular vehicles, also including animals, objects scattered on the road, overturned vehicle, or pedestrians standing next to or behind a vehicle.
- ACC has difficulty detecting stationary or slowly moving vehicles, and cannot recognise oncoming vehicles. During the use of ACC function, drivers should always pay attention to road conditions and vehicle status, and overtake vehicles in time.
- When ACC is in use, if the driver presses the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will be taken over by the driver, and respond to the driver’s acceleration input. The control function of ACC will not work.
- When entering/exiting a curve, the target selection may be delayed or disturbed. ACC may have unexpected braking or late braking.
- In some cases (the speed of vehicle ahead is too low relative to your own vehicle, and the vehicle ahead enters the lane closely, etc.), ACC system does not have enough time to reduce the relative speed. In this case, the driver must react appropriately.
- If the vehicle ahead suddenly brakes, ACC may fail to respond timely or react too slowly. In this case, the driver will not receive the takeover request. Active braking is required.
- At a sharp turn, such as a serpentine road, ACC cannot detect the vehicle ahead normally due to the visual field limit of front camera. This may lead to the acceleration of vehicle with ACC, requiring the driver to respond appropriately based on actual road conditions.
- If the distance between the ACC- equipped vehicle and vehicle on the adjacent lane is too small (or the vehicle on the adjacent lane is too close to the lane of ACC-equipped vehicle), ACC system may react to the vehicle and apply braking. In following situations, the driver must be especially alert:
- When the ACC is activated and confirmed to start with the vehicle stationary, if there are pedestrians, children, animals, two-wheeled vehicles, tricycles or obstacles ahead, the ACC cannot detect and identify them, and there is a serious collision risk. The driver should activate ACC before confirming that the area in front of the vehicle is safe to control the vehicle to start off.
- If the vehicle speed is high, and the left turn signal lamp is turned on when overtaking from the left, ACC will automatically accelerate the vehicle and shorten the distance to the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle enters the overtaking lane and there is no vehicle ahead, ACC system will automatically accelerate to the set cruise speed.
- ACC cannot detect the items loaded or accessories mounted on the target vehicle that protrude from its side, rear end or roof. If the vehicle ahead has the above-mentioned special load or equipment,ACC must be turned off when overtaking such vehicles.
- When driving with a trailer towed, the dynamic characteristics of ACC will be reduced.
- After the system requires the driver to overtake the vehicle, if the vehicle continues to move, the driver must depress the brake pedal to brake.
- Structural modification of vehicle, such as lowering the chassis height may affect ACC.

Instrument Cluster Information
- Cruise System Longitudinal Control Status Indicator Light
The indicator lights up in grey when the adaptive cruise control is not activated; green when the adaptive cruise control is activated.
- Setting Speed
The indicator lights up in grey when the adaptive cruise control is not activated; green when the adaptive cruise control is activated.
- Vehicle Ahead
The indicator lights up in blue when the adaptive cruise control is activated and
following a target vehicle; yellow when the adaptive cruise control is activated and the distance is too close to the vehicle; red when the distance between the two vehicles is too close and the driver needs to take the initiative to overtake; grey when the driver is depressing the accelerator pedal to control the vehicle.
- Headway
It is divided into three levels: near, medium and far. Every time the vehicle starts, the system will remember the settings selected by the driver.
In addition, if ACC or ICC has not been activated during this power-on cycle, and the vehicle speed is below 30 km/h, the set cruising speed displayed in the instrument cluster is 30 km/h. When the speed of the vehicle is 30-150 km/h, the set cruising speed changes with the speed in the instrument cluster. When the speed of the vehicle is above 150 km/h, the set cruising speed displayed in the instrument cluster is 150 km/h.
The driver must keep sufficient braking distance from the vehicle ahead, and be aware of relevant requirements of local highway traffic regulations on the minimum distance or the
shortest time. It is the driver’s responsibility
to abide by the law.
Controlling Vehicle Speed Using Adaptive Cruise Control
Accelerating when using adaptive cruise control
Acceleration can be performed in two ways:
- Depress the accelerator pedal to increase the speed actively. In case of active acceleration, the driver takes control of vehicle, and the instrument cluster shows the active vehicle acceleration. After the driver releases the accelerator pedal, ACC system continues to control the vehicle to cruise.
- Once the cruise control system is enabled, if you want to accelerate slightly, press the speed adjustment and cruise resume button. Short press the speed adjustment and cruise resume button once, the vehicle speed will increase by 5 km/h; Long press the speed adjustment and cruise resume button once, the vehicle speed will keep increasing at 1 km/h until the button is released. The maximum set speed is 150 km/h.
Overtaking Assist Mode
In cruise mode, when following the vehicle ahead and turning on the left turn signal, ACC accelerates the vehicle before it reaches the overtaking lane to assist the driver overtake or change the lane.
To enable the overtaking assist mode, the following conditions must be met at least:
- There must be a target vehicle ahead.
- The current vehicle speed exceeds 60 km/h.
- The current lane line is dotted.
- The set speed should be high enough for a safe overtaking.
- Turn on the left turn signal.
In the overtaking assist mode, unexpected acceleration may occur in the following situations, which requires special
awareness of the driver. Therefore, in the overtaking assist mode, the driver should prepare for sudden change of conditions and control the vehicle in time.
- The vehicle is approaching a turning exit, and the exit direction is the same as that of usual overtaking.
- Before the vehicle passes through and enters the overtaking lane, the speed of vehicle ahead decreases.
- The speed of vehicle in the overtaking lane decreases.
At the overtaking assist mode, unexpected deceleration may occur in the following situations, which requires special awareness of the driver. Therefore, in the overtaking assist mode, the driver should prepare for sudden change of conditions and control the vehicle in time.
- The speed of vehicle in the overtaking lane is lower than your vehicle speed.
- The longitudinal distance between the vehicle in the overtaking lane and your vehicle is close.
- The vehicle in the overtaking lane is large with long body, and parallel to your vehicle.
In overtaking assist mode, the driver is required to manually control the
lane change.
Please note that this function can be enabled in more situations besides overtaking. E. g., when the left turn signal indicator is turned on to change lanes or enter another road, the vehicle will briefly
accelerate.
Start-stop Mode
In the cruise following mode, if the vehicle ahead brakes and stops gradually, your vehicle will follow the vehicle ahead to stop gradually, and keep a safe distance from it.
- During the follow-to-stop function, the vehicle is capable of following the preceding vehicle to start within a certain time period, the cruise will resume automatically if the vehicle ahead resumes traveling.
- If the vehicle ahead resumes after more than certain period after stopping, the driver is required to depress the accelerator pedal or press the speed adjustment and cruise resume button to resume cruising.
- In ACC start-stop mode, if the driver actively exits ACC, the vehicle will not start automatically. If the accelerator pedal is pressed at this time, the vehicle starts, and the driver needs to take control of the vehicle and drive safely.
ACC cannot recognise stationary vehicles, and cannot brake against stationary vehicles. After stopping, the ACC can still control the vehicle to move, which may result in uncontrolled vehicle movement, which may increase the risk of accident and result in serious injury or death. ACC will have unexpected acceleration in the following situations. Please be highly alert and take active braking:
- When adaptive cruise control follows a moving vehicle that comes to a stop, the ACC system may not recognise the stationary vehicle and continue cruising at the speed set by the driver.
- At an intersection, when following the vehicle ahead to turn at low speed, the following target disappears due to the turning of vehicle ahead, so the ACC system will accelerate based on the set speed.
Decelerating when using adaptive cruise control
If the cruise control system is enabled, if you want to slow down slightly, press the speed decreasing button. Short press the speed decreasing adjustment button once, the vehicle speed will decrease by 5 km/h. Long press the speed decreasing adjustment button once, the vehicle speed will keep decreasing at 1 km/h until the button is released. The minimum set speed is 30 km/ h.
Restoring Set Speed
If the driver has set the ACC system to the required speed, and depresses the brake pedal or presses the cancel button, the ACC system will be deactivated automatically. At this time, the set speed will be pre-stored, and the set speed will continue to be shown on the instrument cluster display. To activate ACC and cruise at the speed set last time, press the speed adjustment and cruise resume buttons.
Ending Adaptive Cruise Control The following methods can be used to deactivate the adaptive cruise control:
- Depress the brake pedal to exit ACC.
- Press the cancel button to exit ACC.
The adaptive cruise control relies on other systems to work, such as the Electronic Stability Control (ESC). If either of these systems stops working, the adaptive cruise control will be automatically turned off.
In case of automatic deactivation, a sound signal is given and the instrument cluster display shows a text message. The driver must intervene to match the speed of and the distance to the vehicle ahead.
The ACC system may become unavailable if the front camera experiences a system malfunction, operates in low-light conditions, is exposed to intense direct light, obstructed by objects, or subjected to rapid lighting changes between bright and dark environments.
Possible reasons for disabling the adaptive cruise control (including but not limited to):
- Any door, bonnet or boot is opened.
- Driver seat belt is unfastened.
- The wheels lose road holding.
- The brake system performance is degraded or faulty.
- The parking brake is applied.
- Front camera is covered by wet snow or heavy rain.
Detection Problems
The detection range of the front camera is limited, and in some cases, it may not detect vehicles or there may be a delay in detecting them.
Detection problems may occur in the following situations:
- Vehicles move slowly along the driver’s lane. The system can only detect the vehicle that has fully entered the driver’s lane.
- When the vehicle ahead is a large truck, the time of detecting the vehicle may be delayed.
- When the driver enters or exits a curve on the road, detection problems related to the vehicle ahead may occur.
- When the vehicle is powered on, the front camera needs initialisation. The vehicle ahead cannot be detected during initialisation.
Under such circumstances, the driver should keep alert. Take emergency measures and temporarily deactivate ACC if necessary.
Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
The Intelligent Cruise Control can simultaneously provide cruise control and steering assist for the vehicle within the speed range of 0~150 km/h. The system can control the vehicle's speed based on the set speed and the following distance to the preceding vehicle, provide steering assist based on the lane lines on both the left and right sides, perform offset control when overtaking trucks, and issue an alarm if the driver takes their hands off the steering wheel.
The intelligent cruise control system mainly provides driving assistance for the driver on highways or elevated roads with good road conditions.
When the vehicle is powered on, the intelligent cruise control system will
start self-check, and the system is disabled at this stage.
- The intelligent cruise control system is suitable for use on expressways and roads with restricted access, while the driver needs to concentrate on driving the vehicle and be able to take over the vehicle quickly when an emergency occurs.
- The intelligent cruise control system is only an assistance system instead of an emergency warning and collision avoidance system. The driver should drive according to laws and regulations.
- The intelligent cruise control system does not respond to vehicles or objects crossing carriageway.
- The change of vehicle posture due to excessive load in the luggage area will degrade or invalidate the target recognition of intelligent cruise control system.
- The intelligent cruise control system may not be able to react in time once there is a vehicle cuts in with low speed suddenly, so the driver should brake in time.
- When suddenly accelerating and approaching the vehicle ahead at high speed (an obvious speed difference with the vehicle ahead), the driver should brake in time.
- When driving on a steep downslope, it may be difficult to keep a proper distance from the vehicle ahead. In these situations, be particularly careful and always be ready to brake. Never use the Intelligent Cruise Control System under heavy load conditions.
- The intelligent cruise control system cannot recognize pedestrians, tricycles and vehicles loaded with irregularly shaped goods or irregular vehicles, also including animals, objects scattered on the road, overturned vehicle, or pedestrians standing next to or behind a vehicle.
- The intelligent cruise control system has difficulty detecting stationary or slowly moving vehicles, and cannot recognise oncoming vehicles. During the use of intelligent cruise control system, drivers should always pay attention to road conditions and vehicle status, and take over the vehicles in time.
- When the intelligent cruise control system is in operation, if the driver depresses the throttle pedal, the vehicle will be taken over by the driver, responding to the acceleration demand of driver. The speed control function of the Intelligent Cruise Control will not work.
- When entering or exiting a curve, the selection of targets may be delayed or interfered with. The Intelligent Cruise Control may cause unexpected braking or delayed braking.
- If the vehicle ahead suddenly brakes, the intelligent cruise control system may fail to respond timely or react too slowly. In such cases, the driver must actively apply the brakes.
- At a sharp turn, such as a serpentine road, the intelligent cruise control system cannot detect the vehicle ahead normally due to the visual field limit of front camera. This may lead to the acceleration of vehicle, requiring the driver to respond appropriately based on actual road conditions. In following situations, the driver must be especially alert:
- When activating intelligent cruise control system while the vehicle is stationary and initiating a start-off procedure, if pedestrians, children, animals, two- wheeled/three-wheeled vehicles, or obstacles are present ahead but remain undetected or unrecognized by the intelligent cruise control system, this may result in a significant collision risk. Before activating Intelligent Cruise Control to start the vehicle, the driver must first confirm that the area ahead is safe.
- If the left turn signal lamp is turned on when overtaking from the left, the intelligent cruise control system will automatically accelerate the vehicle and shorten the distance to the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle enters the overtaking lane and there is no vehicle ahead, the intelligent cruise control system will automatically accelerate to the set cruise speed.
- The Intelligent Cruise Control cannot detect objects or attached accessories on the target vehicle that protrude beyond its sides, rear, or roof. If the vehicle ahead is equipped with such special loads or devices, be sure to deactivate the Intelligent Cruise Control when overtaking it.
- When driving with a trailer towed, the dynamic characteristics of intelligent cruise control system will be reduced.
- After the system requires the driver to overtake the vehicle, if the vehicle continues to move, the driver must depress the brake pedal to brake.
- Structural modifications to vehicles, such as lowering the chassis height, may affect the functionality of the intelligent cruise control system.
Under the following road conditions, the performance of intelligent cruise control direction-assisted function will degrade or fail to work. The driver should
keep alert:
- The intelligent cruise control system is inapplicable to roads with excessively small curve radius.
- The intelligent cruise control system is inapplicable to roads with no visible lane lines.
- The intelligent cruise control system is inapplicable to intersections of roads.
- The intelligent cruise control system is inapplicable to roads with vehicle marks (e.g., tire marks).
- The intelligent cruise control system is inapplicable to roads of which the lanes increase or decrease.
- The intelligent cruise control system is inapplicable to roads that the original lane and the new lane have large difference.
- The intelligent cruise control system may recognize objects on road edges (walls, guardrails, curbstones, grass, greenbelts, asphalt seam joints) as lane lines to work accordingly.
- The intelligent cruise control system is inapplicable to pavements with potholes, bumps, undulations.
- The intelligent cruise control system cannot recognize road signs (cones), so it is not applicable to construction zones.
- The intelligent cruise control system is not designed for roads with extra-wide, ultra-narrow, triangular lane markings, or other non-standard lane line configurations.
- The intelligent cruise control system is inapplicable to roads where the lane lines turn.
- The intelligent cruise control system is inapplicable to bad weather with reduced visibility.
- When following a vehicle ahead to pass through an intersection, the intelligent cruise control may cause the vehicle's lateral position to shift due to the driving path of vehicle ahead. This may pose a side collision risk with vehicles driving in adjacent lanes, requiring driver supervision and intervention.
- When driving on a highway or main road entrance, the intelligent cruise control system is not able to execute lane changes at this time and there is a functional degradation due to the change in the road, thus only adaptive cruise control is enabled.
- The Intelligent Cruise Control is unable to work in complex road conditions such as heavily congested road conditions, changing and complex traffic, vehicles or pedestrians crossing, intersections, on- ramps, traffic diversion area, lost lane lines, etc., which require driver supervision and take-over. The Intelligent Cruise Control only provides a comfortable driving experience under suitable road conditions, and the driver bears full responsibility for safe driving.
- When the intelligent cruise control system is active, lightly resting a hand on or making slight adjustments to the steering wheel may cause unintended lane deviation. In such cases, the system will alert the driver through visual,
audible, and steering wheel vibration warnings. The driver must remain alert and take appropriate actions to regain over the vehicle.

- Cruise control system lateral control status indicator
The indicator lights up in gray when the intelligent cruise control system is not activated; green when the intelligent cruise control system enables both cruise control and lane centering assist control; white when the cruise control
system lateral control is temporarily unavailable.
- Vehicle ahead
The indicator lights up in gray when the intelligent cruise control system is not activated; blue when the intelligent cruise control system is activated; yellow when the intelligent cruise control system is activated and the distance is too close to the vehicle; red when the distance between the two vehicles is too close and the driver needs to take the initiative to overtake; gray when the driver is depressing the throttle pedal to control the vehicle.
- Headway
It is divided into three levels: near, medium and far. Every time the vehicle starts, the system will remember the settings selected by the driver.
- Lane underline
It is displayed in dark-color when the intelligent cruise control system is not activated; and it is highlighted when the intelligent cruise control system is activated.
- Lane lines
When the system does not detect the lane line, there is no lane line display; gray or white when the intelligent cruise control system is not activated; blue when the intelligent cruise control system is activated; red when the vehicle deviates from the lane and the lane departure warning is triggered.
In addition, if ACC or ICC has not been activated during this power-on cycle, and the vehicle speed is below 30 km/h, the set cruising speed displayed in the instrument
cluster is 30 km/h. When the speed of the vehicle is 30-150 km/h, the set cruising speed changes with the speed in the instrument cluster. When the speed of the vehicle is above 150 km/h, the set cruising speed displayed in the instrument cluster is 150 km/h.
The driver must keep sufficient braking distance from the vehicle ahead, and be aware of relevant requirements of local highway traffic regulations on the minimum distance or the shortest time. It is the driver’s responsibility to abide by the law.
Offset Control
For vehicles with offset control function, when the intelligent cruise control system is activated and the vehicle is about to overtake a truck, trailer or other large vehicles ahead, the system controls the vehicle to actively move away from the large vehicle in the lane. After overtaking a certain distance, it controls the vehicle to return to the middle of the lane again, and this process requires no driver intervention.
This function can only be activated automatically when the speed reaches more than 50 km/h, and the driver should always hold the steering wheel with
both hands and concentrate on driving.
Hands-off Alert
You need to keep your hands on the steering wheel when the Intelligent Cruise Control is activated. If no hands are detected on the steering wheel for an extended period, a relevant reminder message will appear on the instrument cluster display.
When both hands are detected, the relevant reminder information displayed on the instrument cluster will disappear, and the intelligent cruise control system resumes normal operation.
If the system detects that the driver remains in a hands-off state for a prolonged period, it triggers a Level 1 hands-off alert.
After that, if the system detects that the driver's hands remain off the steering wheel for a prolonged period, it triggers a Level 2 hands-off alert.
If the function detects that the driver remains in a hands-off state for a predefined duration after a Level 2 hands-off alert has been triggered, the intelligent cruise control function will activate the hazard warning lights and decelerate the vehicle to a stop within the current lane. The function will then deactivate and both longitudinal and lateral control are not available until the driver activates the system.
- In roads with potholes, protrusions, and ups and downs, the hands-off warning may be delayed or interrupted.
- Lightly holding the steering wheel for an extended period may lead to a false hands-off alarm.
When the vehicle speed is lower than 10 km/h, the hands-off alarm function
is not activated.
Ending Intelligent Cruise Control The following methods can be used to deactivate the intelligent cruise control function:
- Depress the brake pedal to deactivate the intelligent cruise control system.
- Press the cancel button to deactivate the intelligent cruise control system.
The intelligent cruise control relies on other systems to work, such as the Electronic Stability Control (ESC). If either of these systems stops working, the intelligent cruise control will be auomatically turned off.
In case of automatic deactivation, a sound signal is given and the instrument cluster display shows a text message. The driver must intervene to match the speed of and the distance to the vehicle ahead.
The intelligent cruise control system may be disabled for reasons including but not limited to:
- Any door, bonnet or boot door is opened.
- Driver seat belt is unfastened.
- The wheels lose road holding.
- The brake system performance is degraded or faulty.
- The parking brake is applied.
- The front camera is covered by wet snow or rain.
- The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is functioning or turned off.
- Hill Descent Control (HDC) function is turned on.
System Limitations
The detection range of the front camera is limited, and in some cases, it may not detect vehicles or there may be a delay in detecting them.
Detection problems may occur in the following situations:
- Vehicles move slowly along the driver’s
lane. The system can only detect the vehicle that has fully entered the driver’s lane.
- When the vehicle ahead is a large truck,
the time of detecting the vehicle may be delayed.
- When the driver enters or exits a curve on the road, detection problems related to the vehicle ahead may occur.
Under such circumstances, the driver should keep alert. Take emergency measures and temporarily disable the intelligent cruise control system if necessary.
The detection capability of the front camera is limited. In some cases, the front camera may not be able to accurately determine the lane line and is vulnerable to environmental interference.
Lane line detection problems may occur in the following situations:
- The camera may not be able to recognize special lane lines such as triangular and herringbone lane lines, which may affect the performance of the function.
- The lane lines are not paved to state standards and are not recognizable.
- The lane lines have low visibility and contrast and cannot be recognized.
- The surface of the lane lines is covered with sand, water, snow, etc. and cannot be recognized.
- The wheel marks from vehicles ahead in rainy or snowy days, and wheel marks caused by braking operation of vehicles ahead may be recognized as lane lines due to the high contrast.
- The road dividers, curbs, etc., may be recognized as lane lines.
- Continuous lane line-like projections on a road, such as the shadow of a railing, may be recognized as lane lines.
Function switching
The system will automatically switch the intelligent driving functions based on the current road conditions. When the conditions for the intelligent cruise control are not met, it will downgrade to adaptive cruise control function.
The currently activated intelligent driving function can be viewed through the instrument cluster.
When any of the following situations (- including but not limited to) occurs, it will be downgraded to the adaptive cruise control function:
- Confused lane lines or incorrect lane line type.
- Unclear lane lines on both sides or missing lane lines.
- When driving on sharp curves or continuous curves.
- The driver actively turns the steering wheel.
After the intelligent cruise control function is activated, a white or gray intelligent cruise control indicator and a green cruise speed value are displayed on the instrument cluster, indicating that only adaptive cruise control can be activated, and the vehicle cannot be kept within the
lane.
Lane Keep Assist (LKA)
The lane keep assist system can recognise lane lines, pedestrians, curbs, front/rear incoming vehicles, and calculate the distance from the vehicle to the left/right lane line and front/rear incoming vehicles via front camera and rear side medium- range radar when the vehicle speed is high than 65 km/h. When the vehicle deviates from the lane or is about to collide with pedestrians, vehicles in the adjacent lane, the system will give a corrective assist force to prevent the lane deviation, mitigate or avoid collision, or remind the driver to keep the vehicle in the lane. the lane keep assist system consists of Lane Keep Assist, lane departure warning, and lane keeping emergency assist.
When the vehicle is powered on, the lane keep assist system will start self- check, and the system function is not
available at this stage.
Ensure the surface of the forward- facing camera is clean. The performance of lane keep assist system may be affected by factors such as a dirty front camera, bad weather conditions and
fading lane lines.
The lane keep assist system is only suitable for use on expressways and
main urban roads, and the driver needs to concentrate on driving the vehicle. When using Lane Keep Assist, hold the steering wheel and keep an eye on the road and surrounding traffic. Do not use this feature on city streets, construction areas, narrow roads, or road sections where cyclists or pedestrians may be present. It is strictly
forbidden to rely on the lane keep assist system to determine the appropriate driving route. Be sure to take measures at any time and in a timely manner. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious property damage and personal injuries or even death.
When the electronic stability control system (ESC) is off, the lane departure prevention (LDP) and emergency
Lane Keep Assist (ELKA) cannot work.
Function Types
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) warns the driver when the vehicle deviates from the lane unconsciously. Unconscious lane departure includes departure that has already occurred and the imminent lane departure.
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)
When the vehicle approaches a lane line and there is a risk of deviation, the Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) assists the driver to control the vehicle back to the lane by applying torque to the steering wheel.
Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELKA)* Emergency Lane Keep Assist (ELKA) can help the vehicle back to its own lane in the following situations:
- The vehicle is about to rush out of the road or collide with the edge of roads.
- Unintentional deviation from the lane and there may be a collision with the opposite vehicle.
- Unintentional deviation from the lane and there may be a collision with the rear vehicle (applicable only to models equipped with rear side medium-range radars).
- Unintentional deviation from the lane and there may be a collision with the pedestrians in the adjacent lane.
ELKA cannot cope with all situations under all kinds of traffic, weather and
road conditions.
This function cannot detect fences, railings or similar obstacles on the
roadside.
ELKA is only enabled when a high risk of collision exists, so do not wait for
this function to intervene.
The driver shall always keep their attention and judgment to ensure vehicle travels safely, keeps a proper distance from other vehicles, and adheres to
current traffic laws and regulations.
Function Selection
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driver Assistance → Safety Settings → Lane Keep Assist, and then enable or disable lane
departure prevention and emergency lane keeping assist in the interface; No warning,
sound and steering wheel vibration setting are available for lane departure warning system.
When either Lane Departure Warning (LDW) or Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) is enabled, the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) OFF indicator on the instrument cluster display does not turn on.
The lane keeping assist and lane keeping emergency assist switches
are activated by default each time the vehicle is powered on. The lane departure warning function remembers the status selected by the driver last time. If the previous selection was "No Alert", it will default to "Steering Wheel Vibration" upon the next power cycle.
Display of Lane Keep Assist System
The curvature of lane line may be detected inaccurate due to limited sensor performance, e. g., straight road is
displayed as curved road. The lane keep assist system will display the information of system working status on instrument cluster.
When the lane departure warning or lane departure prevention is activated, the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) off indicator 1 does not turn on. When the lane keep assist system has any fault, the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) fault warning light lights up in yellow. When any of the lane departure warning and lane departure prevention is turned off, the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) OFF indicator turns on in yellow and displays “OFF”.
When the lane keep assist system does not detect the lane lines, the lane line 2 are not displayed.
When lane keep assist system is not activated, the lane line 2 are displayed in grey.
When lane keep assist system is in standby status, the lane lines 2 on both sides are displayed in white.
When the lane departure warning system is activated, the lane lines 2 on the corresponding side are displayed in red.
When Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) is activated, the lane lines 2 on the corresponding side are displayed in blue.
Hands-off Warning
When the lane keep assist system is activated, the driver should always hold the steering wheel with both hands. If the system does not detect hands on the steering wheel when Lane Keep Assist is activated for the first time, there will be a visual reminder in the instrument cluster, such as turning the lane line blue. If the Lane Keep Assist is activated again in the next period of time, and the system still does not detect the driver’s hands on the steering wheel, the system requests and gives an audible warning, and displays relevant reminder on the instrument cluster.
When both hands are detected, the reminder displayed on the instrument
cluster will disappear.
Abnormal tyre pressure, incorrect wheel alignment parameters, inconsistent tyres and incorrect tyre model, etc., may result in abnormal performance of Lane Keep Assist system. The driver shall use the assist system when the vehicle is in
normal condition.
System Limitations
Under the following road conditions, the lane keep assist system performance will degrade or it fails to work. The driver should keep alert:
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to roads with heavy snow.
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to roads with excessively small curve radius.
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to roads with no visible lane lines
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to intersections of roads.
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to roads with vehicle marks (e.g., tire marks).
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to roads of which the lanes increase or decrease.
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to roads that the original lane and the new lane have large difference.
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to pavements with potholes, bumps, undulations.
- The lane keep assist system cannot recognize road signs (cones), so it is not applicable to construction zones.
- The lane keep assist system is not designed for roads with extra-wide, ultra- narrow, triangular lane markings, or other non-standard lane line configurations.
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to zigzag pavements.
- The lane keep assist system is inapplicable to bad weather with reduced visibility.
- The field of view of the front camera and the rear side mid-range radar cannot be obstructed by pollutants. Especially, when it’s completely covered by snow,
the lane keep assist system will
deactivate and notify the driver via a message on the instrument cluster display.
- The installation of front camera, front medium-range radar (if equipped) and rear side medium-range radar may be
affected by vibration or impact, which will degrade the system performance. At this time, it is necessary to recalibrate the front camera and rear side medium- range radar.
Collision Mitigation Support Front (CMSF)
The collision mitigation support front system can warn the driver of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles through sound, images and braking. The system assists the driver by taking steps to avoid or mitigate a collision when the driver brakes too late, applies too little braking force or does not brake at all.
When the vehicle is powered on, the collision mitigation support front system will start self-check. The system is
not available at this stage.
- This function is auxiliary and cannot cope with all weather and road conditions.
- The driver is recommended to read all the chapters related to this function in this manual to understand the factors such as function limitation and all the knowledge required before the use of this system.
- The collision mitigation support front system cannot replace the attention and judgment of driver. The driver is always responsible for maintaining proper speed and distance, and complying with traffic laws and regulations.
- No system can guarantee to operate 100% properly under any circumstances. Therefore, please do not drive the vehicle towards people or objects for the purpose of testing the performance of the CMSF. Otherwise, accidents may occur and result in casualties.
- For safety reasons, the system is inactive if the driver is not wearing a seat belt.
- Typically, the CMSF system operates discreetly in the background without driver awareness. When the system identifies a potential hazard, it issues warnings or initiates braking to protect occupants. Due to system performance limitations, false activations may occur. Drivers must always remain fully attentive to the surrounding environment. To minimize false activations, brake intervention may occur slightly later than intended. Drivers must respond promptly and should not rely solely on the driver assistance function.
- The system will not react to animals, small vehicles (such as tricycles), vehicles with irregular appearance, cyclists, oncoming and crossing vehicles.
- For the effective targets recognised by the system, due to different vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, scenes and road conditions, the system cannot always achieve the same performance.
- The function will not be activated when the vehicle is driving at low speed.
Function Settings
The collision mitigation support front is a safety system, and the function is enabled by default every power-on cycle.
When the CMSF fails, the fault warning light of the Collision
Mitigation Support Front (CMSF) on the instrument cluster lights up, the driver should contact PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance as soon as possible.
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence:
Vehicle Settings → Driver Assistance →
Safety Settings → Pre-collision Assist, and set the alarm timing in the forward collision
warning setting interface. When no alarm is selected, the alarm timing will automatically return to normal the next time the vehicle is powered on.
The alarm timing for forward collision warning is divided into four levels: off, later, moderate and earlier.
Off: no alarm is required.
Later: the alarm distance is close and the alarm time is relatively late.
Medium: the alarm distance is moderate and the alarm time is between earlier and later.
Earlier: the alarm distance is far and the alarm time is relatively early. If the driver considers that the alarms are too frequent, a low alarm sensitivity can be selected, thus reducing the total number of alarms.
Function Composition
The system will assist the driver in the following ways when it judges that a danger will occur:
- Safety Distance Warning
The safety distance warning function is active in non-emergency situations. It is used to alert the driver that the distance from the vehicle ahead is too small when the vehicle speed reaches 65 km/h and above. At this time, the drivers should adjust their driving behavior and maintain a reasonable distance.
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
When the vehicle speed reaches 30 km/h or above, the system determines that there is a potential risk of collision and will alert the driver through alarm sounds, alarm pictures displayed on the instrument cluster, short braking, etc.
- Dynamic Braking Support (DBS)
When the vehicle speed reaches 4 km/h or above, if the current braking force is too small when a dangerous situation occurs, the system will assist the driver to increase the braking force to avoid or reduce the collision.
- Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence:
Vehicle Settings → Driver Assistance →
Safety Settings → Pre-collision Assist, and then enable or
disable the Automatic Emergency Braking function in this interface.
If the driver fails to brake effectively when a dangerous situation occurs, the system will perform automatic emergency braking in a timely manner to avoid or reduce a collision. Automatic emergency braking can reduce speeds by up to 60 km/h.
Function Activation
Vehicle Speed during CMSF Operation The target ahead is a vehicle: the CMSF system is active when the vehicle speed is between 4 and 150 km/h. If it exceeds this range, the CMSF system is inactive.
The target ahead is a pedestrian or a two- wheeled vehicle: the CMSF system is active when the vehicle speed is between 4 and 90 km/h. If it exceeds this range, the CMSF system is inactive.
The forward collision warning function alerts the driver to react promptly through sound and images on the instrument cluster, as well as short braking, when it detects a collision risk, reducing the collision risk. If the driver's braking force is insufficient or no braking is applied, the dynamic braking support or automatic emergency braking will actively intervene to mitigate or avoid a collision, displaying images and text prompts on the instrument cluster along with a sound alarm.
Collision Mitigation Support Front
The forward collision mitigation assist helps avoid or mitigate collisions with other vehicles. It is primarily designed for rear-end collision scenarios when traveling straight. The forward collision warning function will alert the driver to react in time through sound, pictures on the instrument cluster and short braking when a collision risk is detected, reducing the risk of collision.
Pedestrian Collision Mitigation Support
Pedestrian collision mitigation support can avoid or mitigate collisions with pedestrians. Main application scenario: pedestrians crossing the road.
Cyclist Collision Mitigation Support
The cyclist collision mitigation assist is designed to prevent or mitigate collisions with cyclists. Primary application scenarios: cyclist crossing/rear-end scenarios.
Obstacle Detection
The Collision Mitigation Support Front (- CMSF) can detect such obstacle targets as passenger vehicles, trucks, buses and other vehicles as well as pedestrians and cyclists.
Vehicles
The Collision Mitigation Support Front (- CMSF) can detect most vehicles that are stationary or driving in the same direction as the vehicle.
Vehicles within a certain range can be detected at night only when the front combination lights are normally illuminated.
Pedestrians
The best working effect can only be achieved when the system detects accurate information about the body shape of pedestrians. This means that the system can be combined with standard human movement patterns to clearly identify information about the person's head, arms, shoulders, thighs, upper body, lower body, etc.
The system can detect pedestrians in contrast to the background, for example, the colour of the pedestrian's clothing contrasts with the colour of the surroundings.
If the contrast is low, pedestrians are detected late or not at all, which means that warnings and braking are delayed or not possible.
The clothing worn is difficult to recognise as a body outline if the pedestrian is partially obscured. As a result, the system will not accurately detect pedestrians if they are less than 0.8 metres tall or if they are carrying larger objects, which means that the brake will not be possible.
Cyclists
The cyclist must be an adult and the vehicle must be designed for adults. The best working effect can only be achieved when the system detects accurate information about the contours of the human body and bicycle. This means that the system can be combined with standard human movement patterns to clearly identify information about the bicycles, head, arms, shoulders, thighs, upper body, lower body, etc.
If the cyclist is partially obscured, the background contrast is poor, or the bicycle is carrying large cargo, the system will not accurately detect cyclists, which means that the brake will not be possible.
Function Limitation
The collision mitigation support front system may be limited in some cases.
Surroundings
- Strong sunlight, reflect light, and extreme light contrasts may make it difficult for drivers to see visual warning signals and may also affect the detection function of the front camera.
- The brake distance becomes longer on wet roads, which reduces the anti- collision performance of the CMSF.
- If the passenger compartment temperature is very high, the front camera may be temporarily turned off and the system may not issue a warning.
- Under complex driving conditions, the system may initiate unnecessary braking, such as at construction sites, railroad tracks, manhole covers, underground garages, or when encountering spray or splashing water ahead of the vehicle.
View of Front Camera
- The detection of the front camera may be affected in certain scenarios, such as roads with guardrails, driving through tunnels, vehicles entering or exiting ahead, or on sharp curves.
- In some cases, the view of front camera is limited. The system may detect vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists later than expected, or fail to detect them at all.
- The performance of the automatic emergency braking may be reduced or even unavailable when the front camera is obscured or the front camera function is limited.
- The headlights and taillights must be turned on and particularly bright to ensure that the vehicle can be detected at night.
- The alarms and brake interventions for pedestrians and cyclists are turned off at speeds above 90 km/h.
- If the driver operates the accelerator pedal or makes a steering intervention during the automatic emergency braking process, the system will be inactive even if a collision cannot be avoided.
- The driver needs to apply greater force to the brake pedal during the automatic emergency braking process.
- The system is not in use when reversing.
Leaving Vehicle Departing Alert (LVDA)
The Leading Vehicle Departing Alert (LVDA) function monitors the status of the vehicle ahead through a front camera. When a vehicle in front is detected and that vehicle moves a certain distance away, the system will alert the driver through text and sound that the vehicle ahead is departing if the following vehicle does not follow or the driver does not initiate movement.
LVDA is only an assistance system and cannot replace the driver's
observation and judgment of traffic conditions. In all circumstances, the driver must always maintain control of the vehicle and bear full responsibility for vehicle operation. Driving must comply with laws and regulations. Failure to do so increases the risk of accidents and may result in casualties.
If the camera is unable to detect the vehicle ahead, the LVDA function will
not work.
Function Activation/Deactivation
Click the following on the multimedia display
in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driver Assistance → Safety Settings → Intelligent Reminder, and then enable or disable the
front departure alert function in this interface.
System Limitations
Under the following scenarios, FDA may not be activated, including but
not limited to:
- There are pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. in front.
- There are no vehicles in front.
- The gear is not in D.
- The vehicle ahead is at a considerable distance from own vehicle.
- The stopping period for the vehicle ahead and own vehicle is short.
- The front camera is obscured or when the front camera function is limited.
Traffic Sign Recognition
(TSR)
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) obtains the information on road traffic signs such as speed limit signs and various prohibitory signs via front camera and map information, and prompts the driver of current road sign information via the meter instrument in real time. If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit value of the current road, the system will give an alarm in time to assist the proper driving of the driver.
When the vehicle is powered on, the traffic sign identification system will
start self-check, and the system function is not available at this stage.
Speed Limit Information Recognition
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driver Assistance → Safety Settings → Intelligent Reminder → Speed Limit Information
Recognition, then set the speed limit alarm method in the intelligent reminder interface.
Display of speed limit sign
The speed limit sign is displayed when the vehicle passes its location and remains visible until the next speed limit sign is encountered, at which point the display updates to the new limit.
If the road speed limit sign is unclear, distorted, inclined, irregular, partially blocked or covered, etc., the recognition of front camera will degrade, resulting in
misrecognition or lack of recognition.
When the map data is not updated or the positioning is inaccurate, the speed limit sign information ahead may not be displayed or the displayed speed limit
information may be inaccurate.
In case of other non-standard signs and positions, it may be identified as speed limit signs, resulting in misrecognition. When vehicle positioning is affected, auxiliary road speed limit signs may be displayed when driving on the main
road.
Speed Limit Alarm
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driver Assistance → Safety Settings → Intelligent Reminder → Speed Limit Information Recognition, then select the alarm mode in the Speed Limit Alarm interface.
OFF: the instrument cluster only displays the speed limit sign.
Blinking Icon: The speed limit sign in the instrument cluster blinks.
Blinking Icon & Sound Alert: the speed limit sign on the instrument cluster blinks accompanied by a sound alert.
Speed Limit Alarm
An alarm is triggered when the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit recognized by the system. The alarm is cancelled when the vehicle speed is lower than the speed limit recognized by the system.
The speed limit alarm function only serves as a speed limit reminder. The driver shall actively control the vehicle
speed.
Speed Limit Update Reminder
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driver Assistance → Safety Settings → Intelligent Reminder → Speed Limit Information Recognition, and then enable or disable the Speed Limit Update Reminder function in this interface.
Traffic Sign Detection
Currently, this function can only recognise and display some road sign information on the instrument cluster display to assist the driver. Recognizable road sign information includes: Children Crossing, Road Construction signs, etc.
- The traffic sign detection function is affected by the field of view of the front camera, the relative position between the front camera and the speed limit sign, etc. The traffic sign may be incorrectly identified or not identified, so do not rely on this function to determine the driving mode.
- If the road speed limit sign is unclear, distorted, inclined, irregular, partially blocked or covered, etc., the recognition ability of front camera will degrade, resulting in misidentification or identification failure.
- When vehicle positioning is affected, auxiliary road traffic signs may be displayed when driving on the main road.
- In case of other non-standard signs and positions, it may be identified as traffic signs, resulting in misidentification.
Radar Side-Rear Assist System*
The system detects the rear side of the vehicle based on the rear side medium- range radars on both sides of rear bumper, to realise Lane Change Assist (LCA) (- including blind spot detection function), Rear Collision Warning (RCW), Door Opening Warning (DOW) and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA).
When the vehicle is powered on, the rear side radar assist system will start self-check, and the system function is not available at this stage.
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driver Assistance → Safety Settings → Pre- collision Assist and enable or disable the functions as demand in this interface. The state of all function switches remains as the previous setting.
The system will prompt the driver of driving safety via the on/flashing of blind spot detection indicator on the exterior rearview mirror, instrument cluster prompt, sound alarm, flashing of hazard warning light, etc.
When the vehicle is powered on, the blind spot detection indicator on the instrument cluster display lights up in green, and the system works normally. There is a malfunction when the blind spot detection fault warning light lights up in red.
- Please keep both sides of the rear bumper surface clean.
- This system is only for driver assist, and it cannot replace the driver's responsibility for safe driving.
- Do not dismantle or exchange the rear side medium-range radar.
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
The lane change alert function covers the blind spot and the rear area with fast approaching vehicles, to assist and alert the driver against blind spots and rear vehicles when driving, especially when turning or changing lanes. The lane change safety warning function works within the speed range of 15 ~ 150 km/h.
- Blind spot
- Area with fast approaching vehicles
When the alarm condition is met, the blind spot detection indicator light on the exterior rearview mirror lights up or flashes. If the indicator and sound warning function are turned on in advance in the multimedia display, the system will also give a sound warning.
In the following situations (including but not limited to), the performance of the lane change assist function may be reduced or the system may not function properly, for example:
- Bad weather such as rain or snow.
- For smaller targets (pedestrians, bicycles, etc.).
- For stationary targets (vehicles, pedestrians, etc.).
- When driving on sharp bends and slopes.
Rear Collision Warning (RCW) The rear collision warning function can monitor the targets behind the vehicle. When a vehicle is detected quickly approaching behind, the hazard warning light turns on to remind the rear vehicle to slow down or keep a safe distance. When the vehicle is stationary and a rear-end collision risk is detected, the Neutral (N)/ Park (P)/Drive (D) may trigger the brake (not trigger only when in Reverse (R)) to reduce the risk of slipping forward for the vehicle involved in rear-end collision and avoid secondary collision between the driven vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
The rear collision warning function works when the gear is in N/P/D gear and the vehicle does not slip backwards. The detection of the rear approaching targets includes the following targets:
- Four-wheeled vehicle
- Two-wheeled vehicle
In the following situations (including but not limited to), the performance of the rear collision warning function may be reduced or the system may not function properly, for example:
- The relative speed between the rear vehicle and the driven vehicle is too high or too low.
- The rear vehicle approaches after changing lanes from other lanes.
- For smaller targets (pedestrians, bicycles, etc.).
- Bad weather such as rain or snow.
- When driving on sharp bends and slopes.
The rear collision warning function cannot avoid collision. The driver should pay attention to the warning and take actions accordingly for safe driving.
Door Opening Warning (DOW) When the vehicle is stationary or at low speed, the rear side middle-range radar detects the approaching movable targets at the rear side. When a potential collision risk exists to open the door, the blind spot detection indicator on the exterior rearview mirror lights up or flashes and gives a sound
warning to remind the driver of the risk to open the door.
The door opening warning function mainly detects the following targets:
- Four-wheeled vehicle
- Two-wheeled vehicle
- Running pedestrians
In the following situations (including but not limited to), the performance of the door opening warning function may be reduced or the system may not function properly, for example:
- Bad weather such as rain or snow.
- The relative speed between the rear vehicle and the driven vehicle is too high or too low.
- The rear vehicle approaches after changing lanes from other lanes.
- In sharp turns, ramps and other scenes.
- For smaller targets (pedestrians, bicycles, etc.).
After the vehicle is powered off for 3 minutes or the vehicle is locked and powered off, the door opening warning function stops working.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The rear cross traffic alert function uses rear-side medium-range radars to detect approaching objects. When a potential collision is detected with vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles or pedestrians approaching from the rear, the warning light of the corresponding side rearview mirror remains on or flashes, accompanied by an audible alert. At the same time, red warning waves will be displayed on the surround view monitor interface to clearly and accurately convey the warning and warn of potential danger.
This function operates when the vehicle is in R gear or N gear and rolling. When a possible collision is detected, the rear cross traffic alert function will provide the driver with light (blind spot detection indicator light on the exterior rearview mirror, hazard prompt on the multimedia display) and sound (hazard warning sound from the speaker) alarms to warn the driver of the collision risk while continuing to reverse.
Parking Assist System
The parking assistance system detects obstacles in front of and behind the vehicle through radar sensors and provides distance prompts to the driver via sounds and alarm color blocks indicating the distance between the vehicle and the obstacles.
Front parking radar*
The parking assist system radar sensors on the front bumper can detect objects up to 0.7m away from the front of the radar.
Rear parking radar
Park assist system radar sensors in the middle of the rear bumper can detect barriers up to 1.5m from the rear of the vehicle.
The parking assist system cannot replace the driver's visual
observation.
- The parking assist system cannot detect objects below the bumper or vehicle, or objects too close or far away from the vehicle.
- The parking assist system may not be able to detect children, pedestrians, cyclists or pets.
- The parking assist system cannot detect tiny objects.
- If you do not pay attention to the surrounding conditions of the vehicle during parking, it may cause serious casualties and property damage. Even if the vehicle is equipped with a parking radar system, the driver must carefully observe whether there are obstacles before parking.
Alarm volume setting
Click the following on the multimedia display in sequence: Vehicle Settings → Driver Assistance → Safety Settings → Pre-
collision Assist, and then select the Radar Sensor Volume in this interface. The three optional alarm volumes are low, medium and high.
How the System Works
When the park assist system works and obstacles enter the detection range, the detection results will be displayed on multimedia display in colour blocks, with corresponding audio alerts. The beep sound indicates that there is an obstacle in front of the vehicle (if equipped with front parking radar) or behind the vehicle. The closer the vehicle gets to the obstacle, the more rapid the beep sound becomes. When the distance is less than 30 cm, a continuous beep sound will be heard and "Please stop" will be prompted on the multimedia display.
Due to environmental factors, the detection performance of radar sensors of parking assist system may be degraded in hot, extremely cold or humid
weather.
When the System Cannot Work Normally
Please be aware that the radar sensor of parking assist system may not alarm or may give wrong alarms under the following conditions:
Situations where obstacles cannot be detected
- Net-shaped barriers like iron wires, mooring ropes or nets.
- Low barriers like stone, wood blocks, etc.
- Vehicles with a high chassis.
- Soft objects like snow, cotton, sponge that easily absorb the ultrasonic wave.
- Some obstacles with special shapes, such as pillars, trees, bicycles, angle steel, cornerstone and corrugated paper.
- The parking assist system radar sensor may not detect overhanging obstacles such as fire hydrants, wall-mounted charging boxes, etc.
Situations where false alarms may occur
- The surface of the parking assist system sensor is covered with ice.
- The vehicle is on a steep slope.
- There are high-frequency radios or antennas installed on the vehicle or in use nearby.
- The sound of other vehicles' horns, engine roars, vehicle exhaust noises, etc., are too close to the parking assist system sensor.
- Driving in snow or rain.
If the system still does not alarm when the vehicle approaches to the obstacle, and it is confirmed that it is not caused by the above
situation, please contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance.
- The sensor of parking radar system can only detect the closest barrier when there are several barriers. Please note whether the parking sensor of another side detects other barrier when the vehicle moves.

Rear View Camera System*
The rear view camera system (reverse camera) assists the driver in reversing by displaying the view behind the vehicle.
Before reversing, the driver must carefully check for any obstacles around the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and property damage. The rearview camera system cannot replace the driver's visual observation. Do not rely solely on the
rearview camera when reversing.
- There is a discrepancy between the distance displayed on the multimedia display and the actual distance.
- The reverse camera cannot detect objects outside of its visible range, such as those below the bumper or underneath the vehicle.
- The reverse camera may not be able to detect children, pedestrians, cyclists or pets.
- It is forbidden to use the rear view camera system during long-distance or high-speed reversing operations, or in areas with crossing traffic.
Position of Reverse Camera
The reversing camera is located on the back door. The camera's viewing area is extremely limited and may not capture objects near corners or below the bumper. The displayed image may vary depending on the vehicle's orientation or road conditions. There may be a discrepancy between the distances shown on the screen and the actual distances.
Reversing Assist Line
The reversing assist lines are dynamic trajectory lines that adjust their direction according to the turning angle of the steering wheel. When reversing, the reversing assist lines overlay the road surface behind the vehicle and move left or right as the steering wheel is turned. The direction they indicate aligns with the actual trajectory of the vehicle, helping the driver plan the reversing route.

Maintenance of Tyres
Tyre Inspection
When to check the tyres
Inspect tyres at least once every month.
How to check the tyres
Check the tyre pressure with a tyre pressure gauge and check the pressure only when the tyre is cold.
Unscrew the valve cap from the tyre valve, press the tyre pressure gauge firmly onto the valve and take the pressure reading.
If the cold tyre pressure meets the recommended pressure value on the tyre pressure label, no adjustment is required. If the inflation pressure is too low, inflate to the recommended pressure value. If the tyre is overinflated, press the metal valve core of the tyre valve to deflate it.
Check the tyre pressure again. Always install the valve cap back on the valve core. Valve caps keep dirt and moisture out.
Tyre wear
The tread wear indicator will appear when the tyre is worn to 1.6 mm or less of tread. Tyres should be replaced as soon as tyre wear has reached its limit. Tires must be
replaced promptly once the tread wear reaches the legal limit.
If uneven tyre wear is found, or some continuous vibration is felt while driving, contact a PROTON e.MAS service outlet for inspection. Conduct tyre dynamic balancing when installing new tyres. When installing new tyres, wheel balancing must be performed.
If the tyres with shallow tread patterns or exposed wear marks are used continuously, it will lead to extended braking distance, steering failure, tyre breakage, etc., which increases the likelihood of
accidents.
Dispose used tyres in accordance with relevant environmental protection
adversely affect the service life of the tyres and the handling performance of the vehicle, causing the vehicle to lose control.
Tyre Rotation
The tyres should be rotated every 10000 km.
laws.
Tyre Pressure
This vehicle is equipped with a tyre pressure label. Located on the lower section of the left center pillar, it indicates the recommended inflation pressures for both front and rear tyres.
Tyres can work effectively only when they have correct inflation pressure. Under-inflation or over-inflation may
Carry out correct rotation according to the sequence shown in the figure. Adjust inflation pressure of front/rear tyres as shown in tyre pressure label on the vehicle after each rotation.
The wheels need to be installed correctly. After tyre rotation,adjust the
tyre pressure.
Wheel Alignment and Wheel Balance
It is necessary to inspect wheel alignment if abnormal wear of tyres or deviation is found. It is necessary to re-balance wheels if the vehicle shakes when driving on a smooth road. Please contact a PROTON e.MAS service outlet for maintenance as soon as possible.
Flat Tyre
When a tyre bursts during driving, the following conditions may occur. Please take actions accordingly:
- If a front tyre bursts, the dragging of the flat tyre will cause the vehicle to deflect towards the side of the burst tyre. Release the accelerator pedal and hold the steering wheel tightly. Make a turn to keep the vehicle on the original lane, then depress the brake pedal gently to park the vehicle on a safe road as possible as you can.
- Release the accelerator if a rear tyre bursts. Turn the steering wheel to your intended driving direction to maintain the vehicle under control. The vehicle may shake and there will be noise, but the steering still can be controlled. Depress the brake pedal gently to park the vehicle on a safe road as possible as you can.
If you find that the tyre is leaking slowly, please follow the steps below:
- Drive the vehicle slowly to a safe and flat place to avoid further damage to the tyres and wheels;
- Turn on the hazard warning light and place a triangle warning board at an appropriate position;
- Use the quick tyre repair kit to repair the tyre.
To prevent the vehicle from moving, it is necessary to take the following
measures:
- Activate the parking brake.
- The vehicle is in Park (P) or Neutral (N);
- Do not allow any occupant to left in the vehicle.
- Before using the tyre repair kit, place stoppers in front and rear of the remaining tyres.
Cleaning the Exterior
Washing the vehicle frequently helps to protect the appearance of the vehicle. When washing the vehicle, turn off the power supply and put the vehicle in a cool place. Do not wash it under direct sunlight. If the vehicle is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it is necessary to wait for the exterior of the vehicle body to cool down before cleaning it.
When using an automatic car washer, be sure to follow the instructions of the car washer operator.
- To prevent damage to the vehicle paint, the corrosive substances (bird droppings, resin, insects, asphalt spots, paving salt, industrial dust, etc.) should be cleared immediately. If necessary, use industrial alcohol to remove asphalt spots and obstinate oil stains, and then immediately wash with water and mild neutral soap solution to remove alcohol.
- It is forbidden to use chemical solvents containing ethanol or strong detergents to scrub the exterior lamp cover to avoid damage to the exterior lamp cover.
- It is forbidden to clean the exterior lamp cover of the vehicle whose surface is hot or exposed to direct sunlight. It is necessary to wait for the exterior of the vehicle body to cool down before cleaning the exterior lamp cover of the vehicle to avoid damage to it. Avoid any impacts made to the exterior lamp covers.
Cleaning Vehicle with High- pressure Washer
- Before washing the vehicle, check and ensure that the vehicle charge port lid is properly closed.
- Be sure to clean the vehicle in strict accordance with the instructions for use of the high-pressure washer, paying special attention to the working pressure and spraying distance. If a pressure washer is used, the nozzle must be at least 30 cm away from the body surface. Keep the nozzle moving and do not spray water constantly at one position. High-pressure water flowing into the vehicle parts may cause damage. Do not spray the nozzle towards the charging port.
- Do not use cluster nozzles to clean the vehicle.
- Never flush with the nozzle directly or indirectly targeting inside the front compartment. High-pressure water flow can cause damage to the electrical components in the front compartment or cause some parts to not work normally.
- Do not aim the nozzle at the connector of the chassis and flush (especially the orange high-voltage harness connector).
- Do not clean the front camera and sensor with a high-pressure washer or a steam washer, to avoid damage.
- Do not spray to wash the painted bumper and soft parts such as rubber hoses, plastic parts, and insulating materials at close range.
Cleaning Vehicle with Automatic Car Washer
- Before automatic car washing, please check with the car washer operator for any additional parts mounted on vehicle, and follow the professional advice provided by the operator.
- Fold the exterior rearview mirrors before washing the vehicle.
- The strength of the paint of vehicle body can withstand the washing of the automatic washer, but the impact on the paint must be noted. The influence mainly depends on the structure of the washer, the cleaning brush, the filtering state of cleaning water, and the type of cleaning agent and wax solvent. If the paint surface of the vehicle body is darkened or scratched after washing, the operator should be notified immediately to make corrections.
- When choosing an automatic car washer to clean the vehicle, give priority to a non-contact car washer. This type of the vehicle washer does not have any part (- brushes, etc.) that may touch the vehicle surface.
Cleaning the Interior
Regular vehicle interior cleaning helps to improve the environment inside the vehicle. Dust and dirt will accumulate on interior trims, and cause damage to carpet, fabrics, leather and plastic surfaces. Stains should be cleaned quickly, especially on light- coloured interior trims, as they may become permanent rapidly under extremely high temperature.
Clear the dust on small buttons and knobs with a soft brush.
Only use professional cleaning agents to clean the interior trim surface of vehicle, or it may cause permanent damage to the vehicle. To avoid spraying excessively, it is necessary to spray cleaner on the cleaning cloth directly. It is necessary to wipe the cleaner off immediately if you spray it on the surface of other objects in the vehicle by accident.
The temperature of baking gun used to paste the glass protective film is extremely high. It should be noted that the baking gun should never bake the interior trims when the protective film is being pasted, or the interior trims will be damaged. Adequate waterproof protection should be taken before pasting to prevent water stains from flowing into the vehicle through gaps and causing electrical failure.
When you clean the glass surfaces on the vehicle, do not use abrasive cleaning agent, or the glass will be scratched and/or the rear windshield defogger will be damaged. Only use soft
cloth and glass cleaner.
Detergent contains solvents which may coagulate on vehicle interior trims. Please
read and comply with all safety instructions on labels before using detergent.
Open the doors and windows to keep good ventilation when cleaning vehicle interior trims.
Note the following when cleaning the interior trims:
- Do not get rid of dirt on trim surface with a knife blade or other sharp objects.
- Do not use a scrubbing brush to avoid damaging the interior surface of the vehicle.
- Do not press or use a cleaning cloth to wipe with great force. Wiping hard cannot improve cleaning effect but will damage the interior trims.
- Only use moderate neutral soap. Avoid using strong detergent or degreasing soap. Too much soap will leave stains and is easy to absorb dirt.
- Do not soak interior trims when cleaning.
- Do not use organic solvents such as naphtha or alcohol, as they will damage interior trims.
- Never spray cleaner directly onto components with electrical buttons and controls.
Fabric/Carpet
Clean dust and scum with vacuum cleaner fitted with soft brush head. For stubborn stains, you may try to remove them with fresh water or soda water first. Before cleaning, please choose an appropriate method to remove stains:
- For liquid stains: Wipe residual stains gently with tissue, so that the stains can fully saturate and get absorbed by the tissue.
- For solid dry stains: Remove as much as possible by hand and then remove with a vacuum cleaner.
Cleaning steps:
- Soak the clean lint-free white cloth in water or soda water.
- Wring the cloth to remove residual moisture.
- When removing stains, scrub gently from edges to the middle until no more stain marks are left on the cloth.
- If stains cannot be wiped off thoroughly, repeat the above cleaning operations with mild soap water.
If stubborn stains still cannot be removed thoroughly, consider to use synthetic fabric cleaner or detergent. Test for colour fastness on an inconspicuous position in the vehicle before using these products. If the cleaner was successful in the test patch, it can be used to clean the entire surface. After cleaning, the tissue may be used to absorb residual water on fabrics or carpets.
Leather Cleaning
A soft cleaning cloth dipped in water may be used to remove dust. To clean more thoroughly, use a soft cleaning cloth dipped in neutral soap water. Please let the leather dry in air, do not dry it by baking, and do not clean leather with steam.
Do not use detergents or polishes on leather, or the appearance and feel of the vehicle interior trims may be permanently changed. Do not use silicon-based, wax- based or organic solvent-containing products to clean the vehicle interior trims, which may cause uneven gloss of leather and affect the appearance of the interior
trims. Do not apply shoe polish to the leather.
Instrument Panel and Other Plastic Surfaces
Do not use detergents or polishes on plastic surfaces, otherwise it may change the appearance and hand feel of interior trims permanently. Some commercially available products may enhance the glossiness of instrument panel and thus cause reflection on windshield, which may severely affect the visual field of windshield.
Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol or strong oxide
chemicals to wipe the interior trims.
Replacement of Bulbs
LED lights are equipped for all lights on the vehicle. If any abnormalities or damages are found in the lights, contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet for replacement.
When there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the front combination lamp shade, such as in rainy days or when washing the vehicle, there may be temporary fogging in the lamp shade. This is natural. The fog will dissipate after the lamps are turned on for a short time. If it does not dissipate, contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service
outlet.
Inspection or Replacement of Fuses
If any electrical components are not working, it is possible that the fuse has blown. If this happens, it is recommended to check as per the below and replace the fuse if necessary:
-
Switch the vehicle power to OFF and turn off all electrical equipment, disconnect the negative cable of the low-voltage battery;
Do not try to repair any blown fuse. Do not substitute any blown fuse with a fuse of different colour or amperage, otherwise the electric system will get damaged or cause fire due to overload of wires.
3. Replace with a new fuse of the same model and specification. If the fuse blows immediately after replacement, contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet as soon as possible.
The colour indicates the amperage of fuse. This amperage is also marked on fuse. Contact with liquid may damage electric components in the vehicle. Be

- Please go to an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet as soon as possible to repair or replace the tyre.
Hybrid System Overheating
Any of the following conditions may indicate that the hybrid system has overheated:
- The power decreases.
- Loud knocking or banging noises.
If the hybrid system overheats, proceed with the following steps:
- Drive the vehicle safely off the road, stop, and turn on the hazard warning lights. Shift the gear to P and apply the parking brake. If the air conditioning is in use, turn it off.
- If engine coolant or steam sprays out of the expansion tank, shut down the hybrid system. Wait for the steam to subside before opening the front hood. If no engine coolant or steam is spraying out, keep the hybrid system running and ensure the electric cooling fan is operating.
To avoid serious personal injury, keep the hood closed until there is no steam being ejected. Steam or engine coolant spraying out indicates high
pressure.
- Check whether there is obvious engine coolant leakage under the radiator, hose or vehicle. Water dripping after using the air conditioner is a normal phenomenon.
When the hybrid system is on, keep all parts of the body and clothing away
from the operating cooling fan.
- If the engine coolant is leaking, stop the hybrid system immediately. Contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet as soon as possible.
- If there is no obvious leakage, check the engine coolant reservoir. If the engine coolant in the reservoir is exhausted, add engine coolant to the reservoir to approximately half full while the hybrid system is running. Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap when the hybrid system and radiator are hot. High- temperature fluid and steam ejected under pressure can cause serious injury.
- After the engine coolant temperature drops to the normal level, check the engine coolant level in the reservoir again. If necessary, add more coolant to bring it to approximately half full. A significant loss of engine coolant indicates a leak in the system.
Please contact an authorised PROTON e.MAS service outlet as soon as possible for inspection and repair.
