Dual-circuit brake system
You car is equipped with a diagonal
dual-circuit brake system. In case one
of the two circuits fails, the other
circuit still can maintain effective
operation.
Brake fluid
If the brake system alarm lamp does
not extinguish when releasing the hand
brake, it indicates that the brake fluid
level is too low.
Check the brake fluid level height
regularly as required.
Working instructions for
the brake system
It is normal for the brake system to
make some noises occasionally.
However, in case it makes sounds like
grinding between metals or screams,
the brake linings may be seriously
worn and need to be replaced. Then,
send the car to a Chery Authorized
Service Station for overhaul.
Send the car to a Chery Authorized
Service Station for overhaul, in case
there is a steady chatter or vibration
being transferred to the steering wheel
when braking.
The new brake lining must go through
a running-in before reaching its optimal
braking effect. The braking effect will
fall a little in the initial 200 kilometers,
under which case, apply a larger force
to the brake pedal properly to
compensate the braking effect. This gist
also applies to the new brake lining
replaced.
The wear status of the brake lining
depends greatly on the operating mode
and driving method. For a vehicle
mainly used in urban traffic, the
working conditions of its brake linings
is very hard, therefore, be sure to send
the car to a Chery Authorized Service
Station for inspection of the thickness
of the brake linings or for replacement
of the linings at the specified
In case one of the two brake
circuits fails, you need to
apply a larger force to the
brake pedal and the stopping distance
will also be longer. In such case,
send your car to a Chery Authorized
Service Station for overhaul before
proceeding to your journey.
