Brake system
General Instructions
Four wheels of the vehicle are equipped disc-type
brakes. The booster can help to reduce the force
needed to depress the brake pedal.
The service brake system has two sets of bake
pipelines. If one pipeline fails, the other will still
work normally and make the vehicle stop. However,
you must apply a bigger force than usual to depress
the brake pedal. Go to the authorized dealership of
BAIC ORV for inspection and repair as soon as
possible.
When driving, putting a foot on the brake pedal will
cause the brake to make a minor movement and
generate heat, thus reducing the effectiveness of the
brake and shortening the service life of the friction
plate of the brake. It will also lower fuel efficiency. If
the brake light is lit all the time, it will also confuse
drivers behind your vehicle.
When driving down a long slope, the continuous use
of the brake will make it accumulate heat, thus
reducing its effectiveness. At this time, the foot shall
be taken off the accelerator pedal, and it shall shift to
a low gear position to use the engine to assist in brake.
After driving through deep water, check the brake.
Moderately depress the brake pedal and see if it feels
normal. In case of abnormality, be sure to lightly
depress the brake pedal from time to time until it
returns to normal.
The braking operation includes feeling time and
reaction time.
First, decide whether to press the brake pedal as this
is the feeling time. Then, you must lift your foot and
depress the pedal. This is the reaction time.
The average reaction time is approximately three
quarters of a second. But, this is only the average
time. One driver may have a shorter reaction time,
while another driver may need a reaction time of two
to three seconds, or even longer. Age, physical
condition, alertness, coordination and sight all affect
reaction time. Alcohol, drugs and depression also
have an effect on it. Even though the reaction time is
about three-quarters of a second, when the speed is
The vehicle will move 20 m at 100 km/h, which is too
long in an emergency. Therefore, it is very important
to keep sufficient distance from other vehicles.
Of course, the actual braking distance will vary
greatly depending on the surface (highway or dirt),
road conditions (wet, dry, icy), tire tread, brake
condition, vehicle weight, and braking force.
Avoid violently depressing the brake pedal. Some
drivers drive with too much force, such as stomping
on the accelerator pedal then pushing the brake pedal
down, rather than maintaining the driving flow with
other vehicles. This is a wrong way of driving. In the
short period between these periods of braking, there
is no time for the brakes to cool down. If you stomp
on the brake pedal in this manner, the brakes will
wear out more quickly. By maintaining flow with
other vehicles and maintaining necessary distance
from other vehicles, you can greatly reduce
unnecessary braking. This will improve the braking
effect and prolong the life of the brakes.
