142 4-4 Starting and Driving
■ When pulling up or releasing the EPB, you will hear a motor running sound
from the EPB system.
■ If any burning smell is smelt or any abnormal noise is heard after using the
emergency brake function, it is recommended to immediately contact a
BYD authorized service provider.
■ To prevent hill slipping, do not park the vehicle with the gear shift
mechanism instead of EPB before leaving the vehicle, but use the EPB to
park the vehicle and keep the gearshift lever in P position.
■ To prevent causing a serious accident, no passenger in the vehicle is
allowed to operate the EPB switch when the vehicle is running.
■ When pulling up or releasing the EPB, depress the brake pedal as far as
possible to prevent vehicle sliding and the blocking of gearshift lever
position arising from sliding because the EPB cannot provide enough
parking force.
AVH
The automatic vehicle hold (AVH) is AVH function which is designed to hold the
vehicle in place for a long time in conditions where the vehicle needs to keep
stationary in such cases as traveling on a slope with congestion or stopping in
front of traffic lights. When the vehicle meets the AVH ready condition, depress
the brake pedal until the vehicle becomes stationary (vehicle speed becomes
zero), and the AVH function enables the vehicle to operate in the automatic hold
state.
■ Press the AVH switch to activate
the AVH function; the AVH ready
indicator on the combination
instrument illuminates white, which
turns green after the operating
conditions of the AVH function are
met.
■ Press the AVH switch again to turn
off AVH.
