How To Stay Safer On The Road
While the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro comes equipped with top-of-the-line safety features, there are some additional precautions you can take to further ensure your safety on the roads in South Africa:
1. Always Wear A Seatbelt
Seatbelts are designed to keep you in place during a collision and prevent you from being ejected from the vehicle. Make sure all occupants of the vehicle wear their seatbelts properly at all times.
2. Follow Traffic Rules And Speed Limits
Following traffic rules and speed limits is crucial for your safety as well as the safety of others on the road. Always obey traffic signs, signals, and lane markings to avoid accidents.
The Chery Tiggo 8 Pro features Traffic Sign Recognition, which automatically detects and displays traffic signs and speed limits on the dashboard. This helps you stay aware of your surroundings while driving.
3. Avoid Distractions While Driving

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is never a good idea. It impairs judgment, reflexes, and coordination. Do not put yourself and others at risk by driving while under the influence.
