5. Driving Guide
Hint
●
If the brake pedal is not depressed, press the
EPB system button to release the parking
brake. The buzzer will alarm, and the
instrument cluster display will prompt "please
depress the brake and release the EPB".
•
Releasing the EPB may generate running
noise, which is a normal phenomenon.
●
When the vehicle battery has no power, the
system cannot release the EPB. If conditions
allow, conduct the emergency start through
connecting cable (
=> Refer to Page 410
), and
then release the EPB. Please contact your
GAC MOTOR dealer for handling.
•
If the EPB is not applied for a long time, the
system will detect the conditions automatically
with audible running noise.
Automatic Driving Release
When the door is closed and the driver has
fastened the seat belt, the EPB will be released
automatically when the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
Caution
•
When the car is in the parking state, do not
depress the accelerator pedal quickly.
Otherwise, it will shorten the service life of
EPB more quickly.
•
The utilization of the automatic driving release
will shorten the service life of the EPB, and it is
recommended to be used only in case of hill-
start.
Warning
Do not depress the accelerator pedal when
any person is operating in front of/ behind or
under of the car in such state that the engine is
running and the transmission is in driving gear,
even if the EPB is applied. Otherwise, the car
will move, causing accidents and even
casualties.
Uphill Start Assist
When the car has been parked on a slope,
fasten the seat belt, start the engine, engage a
corresponding gear and depress the accelerator
pedal to assist uphill start and avoid the sliding.
The EPB will be automatically released after a
smooth start.
Caution
The EPB cannot be automatically removed if
the safety belt is not fastened.
