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 ABS is activated, noise may be
heard. This is normal because the ABS
is pulsating the brake quickly.
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 authorised dealer or service
provider.
●
In this case, if brakes are applied,
the ABS will not work and the
vehicle will become extremely
unstable.
●
ABS cannot reduce the time and
distance required to brake 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
CAUTION
large or sharp turn during the
driving can cause the vehicle to
swerve into oncoming tra󽗋c or
run o󽗈 the road.
●
When running on soft or uneven
surfaces (such as gravel or snow),
a vehicle with ABS may require
a longer braking distance than
a vehicle without ABS. In such
cases, slow down and keep a long
distance from other vehicles.
WARNING
●
ABS cannot work e󽗈ectively under
the following conditions:
●
Tyres used do not have
a su󽗋cient grip level (e.g.,
excessively worn tyres are 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 muddy, sandy or
snowy roads;
●
Driving on uneven roads or with
multiple potholes;
●
Bumpy roads.
