5.2.2 Electric park brake (EPB)*
The driver can apply or release the parking
brake by operating the EPB button. HSA can
be applied for driving on a slope. When the
accelerator pedal is depressed with the vehicle
parked, the EPB will be automatically released
to provide driving assist for the driver.
CAUTION
The EPB will apply a fixed force according
to the gradient for braking.
● If the vehicle slides downwards after
parking, the EPB will automatically
increase the brake force.
● If the vehicle continues to slide after the
brake force is automatically increased,
please depress the brake pedal and
drive the vehicle to a flat road. Contact
the GAC Motor authorized shop for
inspection in time.
Application of static park brake
-
When the vehicle is stationary, pull up
the EPB button. The button indicator
lamp and the indicator lamp
on the
instrument cluster will come on, indicating
that the EPB has been applied.
-
When the gearshift lever is switched to
the “P” gear, the EPB will be applied
automatically.
-
When the vehicle is powered off, the EPB
will be applied automatically
NOTE
● The EPB can also be applied when the
ENGINE START/STOP button is in the
“OFF” position.
● After the vehicle is parked steadily, the
EPB should be applied first.
● When the EPB is working, operating
noise can be heard, which is normal.
● If the vehicle is coupled with a trailer or
is to be parked on a steep slope, it is
recommended to pull up the EPB button
again after the first application of EPB to
ensure the maximum braking effect.
● On a slope with a gradient of 17% to
30%, in 5 minutes after the EPB is
applied for the first time, it will be applied
again. At this time, operating noise can
be heard, which is normal.
