F3/F3R OWNER’S MANUAL
- 140 -
vehicle is stopped.
●
At the end of the anti-lock brake system
activation, the brake pedal may move a
little forward.
CAUTION
Do not overestimate the anti-lock brake
system: although the anti-lock brake
system assists in providing vehicle
control, it is still important to drive with all
due care and maintain a moderate speed
and safe distance from the vehicle in front
of you, because there are limits to the
vehicle stability and effectiveness of
steering wheel operation even with the
anti-lock brake system on.
If tire grip performance exceeds its
capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain, the
anti-lock brake system does not provide
vehicle control.
Anti-lock brake system is not designed to
shorten the stopping distance:
Compared with vehicles without an
anti-lock brake system, your vehicle may
require a longer stopping distance in the
following cases:
●
Driving on rough, gravel, or
snow-covered roads.
●
Driving with wheel chains installed.
●
Driving over the steps such as the
joints on the road.
●
Driving on bumpy or uneven roads.
Install all 4 tires of specified size at
appropriate pressure: the anti-lock
brake system detects
vehicle speeds using the speed
sensors for respective wheels’ turning
speeds. The use of tires rather than
specified may fail to detect the
accurate turning speed resulting in a
longer stopping distance.
Disk/drum integrated parking brake
Vehicle is equipped with drum parking
brake. This type of parking brake needs to
change brake shoe or brake drum
periodically and have them wear in by
your BYD AUTO service station.
