Driving and Operating
EPB Automatic Clamping Function
When the engine shuts off in the motionless
state, the vehicle will automatically apply
parking brake, and you do not have to
release the EPB switch.
EPB Automatic Releasing Function
You do not have to manually release
parking brake when starting the vehicle;
parking brake will be released automatically
when the system detects that the vehicle is
going to start.
Start the vehicle, engage gear (drive gear or
reverse gear), and the driver
’
s seat belt is
tightened; depress the accelerator and
release the clutch. After the vehicle start
conditions are met, the parking brake will be
released automatically.
To smoothly start and avoid sliding
backwards on an uphill pavement, opening
of the accelerator being depressed shall be
enlarged properly.
Anti-Sliding Reclamping Function
When the parking brake is engaged, if it is
detected that wheels roll, EPB will
immediately reclamp to avoid sliding.
EPB Hot Disc Reclamping Function
If you park when the rear brake disc
temperature is high, the braking force may
reduce after a period of time due to thermal
expansion and cold contraction. EPB can
keep the braking force by reclamping many
times to avoid sliding.
EPB Dynamic Braking Function
During driving (speed greater than 3 km/h),
continuously draw back the EPB switch to
trigger the ESC system so as to brake four
wheels till the vehicle comes to a stop. EPB
clamps after the vehicle stops. If the EPB
switch is released halfway, braking is
released.
In case of dynamic braking, if the ESC
system is subject to braking failure, EPB
clamps rear wheels to brake.
This function can be activated only in case
of emergencies such as foot brake failure.
Please neither activate the function in
normal times nor have others operate the
EPB switch freely.
Detection Line Passing Mode
Conduct as required by the detection line
after entering the roller platform.
Continuously draw back the EPB switch or
continuously conduct the action of drawing
back-releasing the EPB switch 6 times.
Deactivation of Automatic Clamping Function
During transport, traction and vehicle
cleaning, you may need to deactivate the
EPB automatic clamping function so as to
make it possible to move the vehicle after
the vehicle is turned off.
Deactivation method: Depress the brake
pedal and hold the EPB switch pressed while
turning off the engine. Try to move the
vehicle to confirm that EPB is not in the
clamped state.
Afterwards, if you have to apply the parking
brake, draw back the EPB switch.
Deactivate the automatic clamping function
only on flat ground; otherwise, the vehicle
will move and thus a danger may be caused
when the foot brake is released.
