EPB System Indicator
●
When the v
ehicle is powered on, if the
EPB is engaged,
is solid on on the
ins
trument cluster.
●
When the vehicle is powered o, if the
EPB is engaged,
on the instrument
clus
ter turns on and then turns o in
several seconds.
●
When the vehicle is powered on,
the EPB system starts self-check. The
indicator
on the instrument cluster
turns on and then turns o in se
veral
seconds. If it does not, the EPB
or braking system may be faulty. It
is recommended to contact a BYD
authorized dealer or service provider
for inspection as soon as possible.
EPB Operating Sound
●
EPB motor noises can be heard while
the EPB is being engaged or released.
●
After the emergency braking function
is activated, if there is a burning smell
or unusual noises are heard, contact
a BYD authorized dealer or service
provider immediately.
WARNING
●
T
o prevent sliding down, do not
park the vehicle with the gearshift
mechanism instead of EPB before
leaving the vehicle. Be sure to use
the EPB got parking and ensure
that the transmission is shifted to
"P".
WARNING
●
T
o prevent a serious accident,
never allow any passenger in the
vehicle to operate the EPB switch
when the vehicle is running.
●
When the EPB is pulled up
or released, depress the brake
pedal as far as possible to
prevent vehicle sliding and the
resulting gear shifting jamming
when the EPB cannot output
enough parking force.
●
For safety considerations, refrain
from using EPB for braking in
normal driving. It is preferred to
be used when the brake pedal
fails or is blocked.
●
As the EPB cannot go beyond the
physical limit of road adhesion,
activating the emergency brake
function may result in vehicle
drift, sideslip or deection when
the vehicle passes through bends
or dangerous/heavy-trac road
sections, or when the vehicle
is driven under severe weather
conditions. Be careful and do not
cause any accident.
Automatic Vehicle Hold
(A
VH)
The automatic vehicle hold (AVH) takes
place when the vehicle needs to be
stationary for longer periods of time, such
as in trac jams on a slope or waiting
at trac lights. When the AVH standby
preconditions are met, AVH is activated
if you press the brake pedal until the
vehicle stops.
●
Press the AVH switch to enable AVH.
A white AVH standby indicator is
displayed on the instrument cluster
