• 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, 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 because the ABS is
pulsating the brake quickly, which is
normal.
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 will adjust
the brake pressure of rear wheel for a
smoother and more ideal brake force
distribution.
WARNING
• ABS cannot work eectively 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.
WARNING
•Driving on bumpy roads.
CAUTION
• If the ABS 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.
• anti-lock braking system
(ABS)cannot shorten the time and
distance needed for braking 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
suddenly. Always drive carefully at
a safe speed, regardless of road
and weather conditions.
• ABS does not prevent decrease
in stability either. When applying
the brake in an emergency, the
steering should be moderate. A
large or sharp turn during the
driving can cause the vehicle to
swerve into oncoming trac or
run o the road.
• When driving on wet or soft or
uneven roads (e.g., waterlogged
concrete roads, waterlogged
epoxy painted roads, sandy
roads, snowy roads, etc.), vehicles
equipped with ABS may require
longer braking distances than
vehicles without ABS. In such
