DRIVING
Brake assist control system
●
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
ABS can prevent the wheels from being locked during emergency braking or
braking on a slippery road so as to stabilize the driving state of the vehicle. It is
an important part of the vehicle’s active safety system.
●
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION
(EBD)
As a part of ABS, EBD balances the distribution of brake force on the front and
rear wheels according to the vehicle load during normal braking, and improves
the braking stability and operability, especially during driving on a slippery road.
Front wheels locked
Start braking
Front wheels not locked
If the front wheels are locked, the
vehicle will be unable to make a turn,
and can only slide forward in the
braking direction.
Danger
Squeak
If the rear wheels are locked, the
vehicle is inclined to drift up to 180° in
severe conditions.
In case of emergency braking, the brake pedal may vibrate, which is normal
during operation of ABS. At this point, continue depressing the brake pedal with
force instead of releasing it due to the vibration of the brake pedal.
