vehicle stability. In hard braking, the
steering shall be moderate. Sharp
turn in driving may cause the car to
smash into the traffic flow in the
opposite direction or rush off the road.
On soft or rugged road (such as
sandy or snowy road), a vehicle with
ABS may need longer braking
distance than a vehicle without ABS.
Under this condition, you shall slow
down the car while keeping larger
distance from other vehicles.
ABS Indicator
ABS has self-detection function. If any
fault,
ABS indicator (refer to
introduction on combination
instrument) on the instrument panel
will be turned on. This means ABS
function of the brake system has fault.
But the brake can still provide normal
braking force like an auto without ABS
function. Please contact BYD service
station to check you car.
If ABS indicator and braking system
indicator are turned on at the same
time when hand brake is released
completely, it means the braking force
distribution system also fails.

is normal; if normal, check the braking
fluid level when refilling fuel at the
next time (refer to section on checking
braking fluid). If the level is low, drive
your car to BYD service station to
check whether brake system has
leakage and check the brake wearing
piece.
If the brake pedal feels abnormal, you
shall take measures immediately. As
the brake system adopts dual loop
design, even if part of the system fails,
you can still control braking of the
other two wheels. But at this time you
shall step the brake pedal deeper to
brake the car, and the brake distance
will be longer.
Shift to lower gear to slow down the
car, and park the car at roadside. As
the braking distance is longer, driving
the car under this condition is
dangerous. You shall have the car
