Driving
22
All pedals should be
stepped down to the
end and should fully
return
with free
brake efficiency. After paddling, heavy
rain or car wash, it should step down the
brake pedal slightly to generate friction
heat between the brake disc and the brake
lining so as to evaporate the water and
resume brake effects.
If the vehicle is equipped with front
spoiler, it should ensure the
free airflow to the front
brake; otherwise the brake
system may overheats due to poor heat
radiation to reduce the brake effects.
Brake Booster
If the brake booster can’t function because
the vehicle is trailed or it’s due to its own
fault, then it needs to enhance the stepping
force to compensate the boosting effects of
the booster.
Therefore, it’s preferable not to place the
foot cushion or other covering on the floor
around the pedal. If really needed, then
make sure that the placement of foot
cushion won’t obstruct the pedal
movement without any sliding.
The brake booster is subject to the
control of engine vacuum booster. This
device will act only when the
engine is running. Therefore,
do not turn off the engine for
sliding when driving on downward
slopes.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
( )
The anti-lock brake system can avoid the
lock of the wheels that can keep the
steering performance of the vehicle even
under emergent braking so as to escape the
obstacles.
Reaction of ABS
The anti-lock brake system will not effect
under normal brake period and will effect
only when the wheels are almost locked.
During braking, the pulse movement of
the brake pedal together with the noise
indicates that the ABS is under working.
Such pulse movement and noise are
normal. At such moment, do not release
the pedal.
Braking Taking Advantage of ABS
The consecutive stepping down of the
brake pedal with full force under emergent
condition will actuate the antilock brake
system immediately to keep the control of
steering. If with enough space, you still
can escape the obstacles.
It’s recommended that you should get
familiar with this brake technology firstly;
however, any unnecessary adventures
should be avoided.
Though ABS can ensure
the best brake effects,, the
stop distance will have
great difference depending on the
road conditions. The ABS can’t
always make sure to reduce the
braking distance, such as on sand or
snow ground, the braking distance
of the vehicle with ABS may be
much longer than the one of the
vehicle without ABS. Also, taking
