■ ABS cannot work effectively in the following circumstances:
● tires with insufficient road holding capacity have been used (e.g.
over-worn tires are used on the road covered by snow);
● The vehicle slips when it is running on a wet and slippery road at a high
speed.
■ ABS is not designed for shortening the braking distance of the vehicle. Be
sure to keep a safe distance away from the running vehicle ahead in the
following circumstances:
● When driving on a muddy road or a road covered by gravels or snow;
● When driving on a pitted or uneven road;
● When driving on a bumpy road.
● If the ABS fault warning light remains on when the brake system warning
light illuminates, park the vehicle where it is safe to do so immediately and
contact a BYD authorized service provider.
● Braking the vehicle in such a situation can cause the ABS to malfunction,
and the vehicle would become extremely unstable.
● ABS (anti-lock brake system) cannot shorten the time and distance needed
for braking the vehicle. This system only helps you to control steering
during braking. You should always keep a safe distance away from other
vehicles.
● ABS cannot prevent slipping caused by sudden change of direction, e.g.
trying to turn the vehicle quickly or changing to drive on another lane
suddenly. Drive the vehicle carefully at a safe speed all the time, no matter
what the road and weather conditions are.
● ABS cannot prevent the reduction in stability. Perform steering properly
during emergency brake. Big or sudden turning during driving may result in
the vehicle's collision with oncoming vehicles or rushing out of the road.
● When running on a loose and soft or uneven road (e.g. the road covered by
gravels or snow), the vehicle with ABS may need a longer braking distance
than that without ABS. In this case, slow down the vehicle and keep a
longer distance away from other vehicles.
