●
AB
S helps maintain the steering
control by preventing the wheels
from locking or skidding when brake
is engaged suddenly or on slippery
roads.
●
When the fr
ont tires skid, there is
no steering control, which means
that the vehicle still moves forward
even though the steering wheel is
turned. ABS helps prevent locking
and maintain steering control since
pulsating prompt brake is much faster
than human reaction.
●
Never pulsate the brake pedal;
otherwise, anti-lock braking system
(ABS) may malfunction. While steering
away from danger, a 󽗉rm and steady
pressure should always be maintained
on the brake pedal for the ABS to work.
●
When the ABS is working, the brake
pedal will vibrate, which may produce
noise. This is normal because the ABS
is pulsating the brake quickly.
Electronic brake force distribution
(EBD)
●
The EBD is an auxiliary function of
ABS. Before ABS acts, if the skid rate
of rear wheel is high, ABS adjusts the
brake pressure of rear wheel for a
smoother and more ideal brake force
distribution.
WARNING
●
AB
S cannot work e󽗈ectively under
the following conditions:
●
Tires with inadequate grip are
used (e.g., excessively worn tires
used on snow-covered roads).
●
The vehicle skids when driving
at a high speed on slippery
roads.
●
ABS is not designed to reduce the
braking distance of the vehicle.
Always keep a safe distance from
the vehicle ahead when:
●
Driving on slippery, muddy,
sandy or snowy roads.
●
Driving on roads with multiple
potholes or on uneven roads.
●
Driving on bumpy roads.
CAUTION
●
If the AB
S fault warning light is
still on while the braking system
warning light is on, immediately
park the vehicle in a safe place.
It is recommended to contact a
BYD authorized dealer or service
provider.
●
In this case, if brakes are applied,
the ABS will not work and the
vehicle will become extremely
unstable.
●
ABS does not reduce the time
and distance required to stop the
vehicle. This device only helps you
control steering when braking.
Please always keep a safe distance
from other vehicles.
●
ABS cannot prevent skidding
caused by sudden direction
change, such as trying to make
a sharp turn or change lanes
