Starting and driving
The brake assist system includes ESC,
ABS, TCS, HAC, HBA, BOS, EBD, etc.
Dierent vehicle congurations may be
dierent, so refer to the specic vehicle
conguration.
Only when the power system is running
can the brake assist system work, which
eectively improves active driving safety.
Warning
● Driving at high speed on icy and
slippery roads can easily lead to the
loss of control of vehicles, seriously
injuring drivers and occupants.
● The vehicle speed and driving
style must be adjusted according to
the visibility, weather conditions,
road and trac conditions. Do not
take advantage of the extra safety
function provided by the brake assist
system to drive at risk, lest it cause
an accident.
● It is impossible for the brake assist
system to violate kinematic laws.
Even if the vehicle is equipped with
ESC and other systems, there are still
Brake assist system
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
Under some driving conditions, ESC can
apply brake to the wheels respectively to
eectively reduce the risk of sideslip and
improve driving stability. ESC can identify
extreme driving states such as oversteering
or under-steering of the vehicle or vehicle
slippage, and keep the vehicle in a
stable driving state by applying brake to
corresponding wheels or reducing engine
output torque.
ESC cannot transcend the laws of physics.
Note that ESC cannot function under any
driving conditions to help the driver keep
the vehicle in a stable driving state. For
example, ESC cannot play an auxiliary role
when driving on a road section with sudden
changes in pavement quality. When the
vehicle is running on a road with a layer of
water lm, oating and skidding are easy
to occur. Because of the separation of a
layer of water lm, ESC cannot sense the
road condition and play an auxiliary role.
When the vehicle runs through a curve at
high speed, especially on multiple curves,
Warning
risks when driving on slippery roads.
● When driving at high speed on wet
roads, the wheels may be o the
ground, resulting in skidding. Once
this happens, the vehicle will not
be able to brake, turn or even lose
control.
● If the vehicle is too close to the
preceding vehicle or the vehicle
speed is too high relative to the
current driving environment, the
brake assist system will not work
eectively.
● Although the brake assist system
can eectively assist the driver in
controlling the vehicle in dierent
driving environments, but remember
that the driving stability of the
vehicle is closely related to the road
adhesion of the tires.
● Be careful when depressing the
accelerator pedal to accelerate on
slippery or snowy roads. Even if the
brake assist system is activated, the
wheels may still slip, causing the
vehicle to lose control.
