F6 OWNER’S MANUAL

Important safety reminders
ABS does not reduce the time or distance,
which takes to stop the vehicle. This
installation only helps you control steering
during braking. You should always keep a
safe distance away from other vehicles.
ABS will not prevent slipping those results
from changing direction abruptly, such as
trying to take a corner too fast or making a
sudden land changing. Always drive at a
safe speed for the road and weather
conditions.
ABS can not prevent a loss of stability.
Always steer moderately when sudden hard
braking. Severe or sharp steering wheel
movement can still cause your vehicle to
veer into oncoming traffic or off the road.
A vehicle with ABS may require a longer
distance to stop on loose or uneven surfaces
(such as gravel or snow surfaces) than a
vehicle without ABS. Under this condition,
slow down the speed, and keep a greater
distance away from other vehicles.
ABS indicator
ABS has the self-diagnosis function. If
malfunction happens, the ABS indicator
(refer to 104
th
page ) on instrument panel
comes on. This means that the ABS function
of braking system has shut down. At this
time, the brakes still supply common
braking ability like a conventional vehicle
without ABS. You should have BYD
authorized service station to inspect your
vehicle as soon as possible.
If the ABS indicator and the braking system
indicator come on together, and the hand
brake is fully released, it means that the
front-to-rear braking distribution system
may also be shut down.
Inspect the brakes according to the
explanation on page 107. If the brakes feel
normal, you should drive slowly, and have
your vehicle repaired by BYD authorized
service station. At this time, avoid sudden
hard braking which could cause the rear
wheels to lock up and possibly lead to a loss
of control.
