5. Driving Directions
5.2 Brake System
5.2.1 Service Brake
When you press down or slightly press the
brake pedal for the first time under some driving or
weather conditions, you may hear the brake
squeaking or screaming, or other noise. Or you
may hear braking noise occasionally during mild or
moderate braking, especially in a new vehicle
(without brake running-in). It is normal and not an
indication that the brake system is faulty or that the
brake safety and performance are affected.
Caution
• If there is any metal-to-metal sharp friction
sound, the brake lining may be close to its
wear limit. Y
ou should go to any authorized
GAC Motor's dealer for maintenance as soon
as possible.
• If the steering wheel keeps vibrating or
oscillating during braking of the vehicle, you
should go to any authorized GAC Motor's
dealer for maintenance as soon as
possible
Hint
• Do not put your foot on the brake pedal to rest
when driving. Otherwise, the temperature of
the brake may rise abnormally, resulting in
excessive wear of the brake lining and brake
pad and longer braking distance.
•
When driving down a long or steep slope, set
the transmission to a lower gear to avoid
continuous use of the brake, make full use of
the engine to brake and reduce the load of the
brake.
•
Continuous use of the brake may result in
over
heating of the brake and temporary loss
of brake performance.
Hint
• Brake dust may accumulate on the wheel
under normal driving conditions due to the
wear of the brake. It is inevitable. A small
amount of brake dust will not affect the brake
performance.
•
If the brake lining and brake disc are rusty
because they are not used or they are used at
a low rate, the brake may make a noise when
it is pressed for the first time. It is normal. It is
recommended to brake the vehicle several
times in a safe
area or on a safe road to clean
the brake lining and brake disc.
