●
When the ESC system is turned off,
restarting the motor automatically
restarts ESC system.
●
ESC system start and speed linkage
●
If the ESC system is turned off,
when the vehicle becomes extremely
unstable as the speed increases and
exceeds the threshold (80 km/h), the
ESC system starts on its own.
●
With ESC system activated
●
If the ESC fault indicator
flashes,
drive with caution.
●
With ESC system disabled
●
Be careful when ESC is disabled,
and drive at speeds suitable for road
conditions. The ESC system ensures
vehicle stability and its driving force.
Never turn it off unless necessary.
●
Replacing Tires
●
Make sure all tires are of the same
size, brand, tread pattern, and total
load. In addition, be sure to inflate
tires to the recommended pressure.
●
Neither ABS nor ESC will work
properly if the vehicle is fitted with
different tires.
●
For details on tire or wheel
replacement, it is recommended to
contact a BYD authorized dealer or
service provider.
●
Tire and suspension handling
●
The use of any defective tire or
modified suspension affects the
driving safety system and may cause
the system to fail.
Anti-lock Braking System
●
The ABS hydraulic system has
two separate circuits, each running
diagonally through the vehicle (left
front wheel brake connected to the
right rear wheel brake). If one circuit
fails, two wheels can still be braked.
●
ABS helps maintain the steering
control by preventing the wheels
from locking or skidding when brake
is engaged suddenly or on slippery
roads.
●
When the front 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 firm
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.
