the indicator turns o󽗈, and a "EPB
released" message is displayed.
CAUTION
●
The brake pedal must always
be pressed when shifting gears.
Release the pedal only after the
intended gear is displayed on the
cluster.
●
When the vehicle has been started and
the gear is in a driving gear such as

simply press the accelerator pedal
slowly to a certain degree. EPB is
released automatically and

WARNING
●
For safety considerations, refrain
from using EPB for braking in
normal driving. It is preferred to
be used when the brake pedal
fails or is blocked.
●
As the EPB cannot go beyond the
physical limit of road adhesion,
activating the emergency brake
function may result in vehicle
drift, sideslip or de󽗊ection when
the vehicle passes through bends
or dangerous/heavy-tra󽗋c road
sections, or when the vehicle
is driven under severe weather
conditions. Be careful to avoid any
possible accident.
If EPB Release Fails
●
If manual EPB release fails, press and
hold the EPB switch for over two
seconds. If EPB can be released, drive
the vehicle to the nearest repair shop
to check the brake pedal switching
signal and relevant parts and lines. If
it cannot be released, contact a BYD
authorized dealer or service provider
immediately.
Emergency Braking When Brake Pedal
Fails
●
If braking fails or is blocked, continue
to press P gear switch or pull the EPB
switch* for emergency braking.
CAUTION
●
For safety considerations, refrain
from using the EPB for braking
in normal driving. If the brake
pedal fails or is blocked, use the
emergency braking function while
you can always keep the vehicle
under control and drive normally.
EPB System Indicator
●

EPB is engaged, is solid on on the
instrument cluster.
●
When the vehicle is powered o󽗈, if
the EPB is engaged,

instrument cluster and then turns o󽗈 in
a few seconds.
●
When the vehicle is powered on, the
EPB system starts self-check. turns
on and then o󽗈 in a few seconds on
the instrument cluster. If it does not
go o󽗈, the EPB or braking system may
be faulty. In this case, contact a BYD
authorized dealer or service provider
immediately.
EPB Operating Sound
●
EPB motor noises can be heard while
the EPB is being engaged or released.
●
