4-4 Starting and Driving 141
■ When the vehicle has been started and the gearshift lever is in D or R
position, manually pull up the EPB and slowly depress the accelerator
pedal to a certain depth, and then the EPB will be released automatically,
the indicator will go out, and the instrument will display the message of
"EPB deactivated".
■ Avoid forcible braking by applying the EPB. The emergency brake function
can be activated only in emergency cases, such as failure of service brake
and blocking of brake pedal.
■ As the EPB cannot go beyond the physical limit of road adhesion, the
activation of emergency brake function may result in drift, sideslip or
deflection of the vehicle when the vehicle passes through bends,
dangerous and heavy-traffic road sections or when the vehicle is driven
under severe weather conditions. Be careful and do not cause any
accident.
■ When it is failed to manually release the EPB, keep pressing the EPB
switch for more than 2s. If the EPB can be released, drive to the nearest
repair shop as soon as possible to check the switching signal of brake
pedal and the relevant parts and lines. If the EPB cannot be released after
doing so, immediately contact a BYD authorized service provider.
■ CDP (controlled deceleration parking) function may also be activated in
case of brake blocking or failure when the ESP system works normally in
the vehicle traveling process. The braking deceleration will be 0.4g if only
the EPB switch is pulled up and will be 0.8g if the EPB switch is pulled up
and the brake pedal is depressed at the same time. Avoid forcible braking
by using the EPB switch. The emergency brake function can be activated
only in emergency cases, such as failure of service brake and blocking of
brake pedal.
■ If the EPB is in pull-up state when the vehicle is powered on, the indicator
on the instrument will stay on.
■ If the EPB is in pull-up state when the vehicle is powered OFF, the indicator
on the instrument will illuminate and then go out about 3s later.
■ If the EPB system performs self-inspection when the vehicle is powered up,
the indicator on the dashboard will illuminate and then go out 3s later. If
the indicator does not go out, it indicates that there may be a fault in the
EPB system or brake system.In this case, immediately contact a BYD
authorized service provider.
