DRIVING
ABS and EBD are merely auxiliary safety systems with quite limited effect.
Compared with braking on a concrete or dry road, the braking distance may be
longer during braking on a road covered with sandstone or fresh snow. Do not
suppose that the ABS and EBD can reach the ideal braking performance under
any circumstances. Be sure to adjust the speed according to weather, road and
traffic conditions at any time. Never risk driving merely by virtue of the finite
safety functions provided by the systems.
● ABS can not work beyond the kinematic law! Even if the vehicle is equipped
with ABS, it is still quite dangerous to drive on a slippery road! If it is found
that the ABS adjusts the brake pressure during driving, the driver must
decelerate the vehicle immediately to adapt it to the current road and trac
conditions.
● Improper operation or modifications (such as modifications to the brake
system, wheels, tires and other components) of the vehicle will aect the
functions of ABS and EBD.
● Tires must be of a specied size. Incorrect tire size or inconsistent sizes of
all tires will aect the normal working of ABS.
After the brake pedal is depressed, ABS will be activated and vibration will
be felt, which are normal, in the following cases:
● Gear shifting.
● Emergency braking.
● Sharp turns at high speed.
● Driving on a wet and slippery
road.
● Passing over bumps or
ditches.
● Driving off immediately after
the engine is started.
