CAUTION
●
Do not release the brake pedal
early in the process, especially
when the vehicle is stopped on a
slope; otherwise the vehicle may
slip back.
●
This function is designed to
improve vehicle safety. Excessive
reliance on or frequent use of the
function is not recommended. To
ensure safety, make sure that the
transmission is shifted to P or the
EPB is engaged before leaving the
vehicle.
Automatic EPB Release upon Vehicle
Start
●
When the vehicle is parked, start the
vehicle, press and hold the brake
pedal, and shift to D or R from P or
N to automatically release EPB. The
indicator goes out, and a text prompt
reading "EPB released" is displayed.
CAUTION
●
Be sure to always press and hold
the brake pedal when shifting
gears. Release the pedal only after
the intended gear is displayed on
the instrument cluster.
●
The EPB system conducts power-
up self-check within several
seconds after the vehicle is
started. In this process, the system
does not respond to any function.
●
When the vehicle is in D or R
after start and EPB is engaged from
the touchscreen, slowly press the
accelerator pedal to a certain extent
to automatically release EPB. The
indicator goes out, and a text prompt
reading "EPB released" is displayed.
If EPB Release Fails
●
Release the EPB via PAD→Vehicle
Health→Overhaul→EPB trailer mode
when P switch fails.
●
If the EPB can be released, drive
the vehicle to the nearest BYD
authorized dealer or service provider
for maintenance as soon as possible.
●
If it still cannot be released, contact
a BYD authorized dealer or service
provider.
Emergency braking function
●
During driving, if the brake is
blocked or fails and the ESC system
operates normally, the Controller
Deceleration Parking (CDP)can be used
for emergency braking.
●
Press the P button to forcibly brake
the vehicle, and press the brake
pedal at the same time to achieve
greater deceleration.
●
To stop braking as needed, just
release the P gear switch.
●
After the vehicle stops, the EPB
remains activated. To start the
vehicle again, repeat the operation to
release the EPB.
●
Forced braking with EPB shall be
avoided as far as possible. Emergency
braking may cause vehicle drifting,
sideslip or lane departure, resulting
in accidents when the vehicle passes
through curves, dangerous sections,
tra󽗋c congestion and other sections or
when the vehicle is running in severe
weather conditions.
EPB System Indicator
●
When the vehicle is powered on, if the
EPB is engaged, the indicator
on
the instrument cluster stays on.
