• Disabling ESC
•If the vehicle gets stuck in snow or
mud, ESC may reduce power output
from the motor to the wheels. In this
case, you may need to turn o the
system to get out of the jam.
• Turning o ESC
•To turn o the ESC system, press the
physical button or tap Infotainment
system → ADAS → Active Safety
→ ESC. In addition, ESC checks
its working status in real time. If
ESC OFF switch is pressed while
ESC system is working, the system
will complete the active intervention
control rather than executes the
"shutdown" command immediately.
ESC is disabled only after the
intervention control is complete.
•
Some functions of the ESC system may
be re-enabled if you press the ESC
OFF switch again or the vehicle speed
exceeds the threshold (80 km/h). In
order to prevent ESC from being
turned o suddenly, ESC can be
activated again only when it is not in
a vehicle dynamic intervention state.
• ESC restart after motor OFF
•After the ESC is disabled, restarting
the motor would automatically
restart ESC.
• ESC system start and speed linkage
•If the ESC system is turned o,
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
ashes,
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 o unless necessary.
• Tire replacement
•Make sure all tires are of the same
size, brand, tread, and total load. In
addition, be sure to inate tires to
the recommended pressure.
•Neither ABS nor ESC will work
properly if the vehicle is tted with
dierent 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
modied suspension aects 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.
