Starting and Driving
- 141 -
and the squeal in braking is normal too.
This may because other matters are pasted
on the friction face during driving process,
and the friction face may be rusty due to
being out of service for a long time or
rainy day. If the frequency of squeal is not
greater, it is unnecessary to be treated
specially.
To avoid affecting pedal stroke, don’t
place thick carpet within the brake pedal
area.
Brake Precautions
Reasonable use of brake friction pair
Brake friction pair is a device directly
providing friction for car brake. If it
exceeds the use limit of brake friction pair,
the brake will be out of service, and even
damage the brake disc. Therefore, please
replace brake friction pair timely. (The
maximum remaining thickness of brake
block of front wheel disc brake is 2mm,
and that of rear wheel is 2mm too.)
Attention
To run in the friction plate and brake disc,
and ensure performance and service life,
you'd better avoid sudden brake or
long-term brake within 200km after
purchasing a car and re-installing a new
friction plate, so as to reach the optimal
brake performance.
Vacuum Auxiliary Brake
The brake booster realizes auxiliary
braking by electrical vacuum pump. If the
electrical vacuum pump is powered off,
you can step on the brake pedal to park
your car, but you have to increase power to
step on it to park your car, and the brake
distance will be longer too.
Attention
When you drive at high altitude localities,
the continuous braking may increase the
force for brake pedal.
Warning
Don’t slide your car when turning off the
power.
Braking
Don’t rest your foot on brake pedal during
driving. Because it may overheat the brake,
and accelerate to wear friction plate.
To avoid accelerating to wear friction plate,
and overheating brake, before entering
down slope or long slope, please reduce
speed and use motor drag brake. Brake
overheating will reduce brake performance,
and cause vehicle to be out of control.
When driving on slippery road, be cautious
when braking and speeding up. Sudden
