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.
●
Restarting ESC after the motor is
powered o󽗈
●
When the ESC system has been
turned o󽗈, restarting the motor will
automatically restart ESC system.
●
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.
●
ESC activated
●
If the ESC fault indicator
󽗊ashes,
drive with caution.
●
Turning o󽗈 ESC
●
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 in󽗊ate tires to
the recommended pressure.
●
Neither ABS nor ESC will work
properly if the vehicle is 󽗉tted with
di󽗈erent 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
modi󽗉ed suspension a󽗈ects 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.
●
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, anti-lock braking system
(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 normal because the ABS
is pulsating the brake quickly.
Electronic brake force distribution
(EBD)
●
The EBD is an auxiliary function of
ABS. Before ABS acts, if the skid rate
