●
After ESC is turned o󽗈, some of its
deactivated functions will be enabled
if either the ESC OFF button is pressed
again or the vehicle speed exceeds
the threshold of 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 OFF switch mis-operation
●
ESC is considered to be mis-operated
if the ESC OFF switch is pressed and
held for more than 10 seconds. In
that case, all internal ESC functions
continue to work.
●
Restarting ESC after the vehicle is
powered o󽗈
●
When the ESC system has been
turned o󽗈, restarting the vehicle will
automatically restart ESC system.
●
The start of ESC is linked with the
vehicle speed.
●
With ESC turned o󽗈, the vehicle
can become highly unstable at a
speed beyond 80 km/h, so ESC starts
automatically in this case.
●
When ESC system is activated
●
If the ESC fault indicator 󽗊ashes,
be sure to drive carefully, because
careless driving may cause an
accident. Exercise additional caution
when the indicator is 󽗊ashing.
●
When ESC system is 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.
●
Replacing Tyres
●
Make sure all tyres are of the same
size, brand, tread pattern, and total
load. In addition, be sure to in󽗊ate
tyres to the recommended pressure.
●
Neither ABS nor ESC will work
properly if the vehicle is 󽗉tted with
di󽗈erent tyres.
●
For details on tyre or wheel
replacement, it is recommended to
contact a BYD authorised dealer or
service provider.
●
Tyre and suspension handling
●
The use of any defective tyre or
modi󽗉ed suspension a󽗈ects the
driving safety system and may cause
the system to fail.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
●
The hydraulic system ofAntilock
Braking System (ABS)to drive the brake
has two independent circuits. Each
circuit passes through the vehicle
diagonally (the front left wheel brake
is connected with the rear right wheel
brake, etc.) and acts. If one circuit fails,
two wheels can still be braked. 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 tyres skid, there is
no steering control, which means
that the vehicle still moves forward
