5.3.4 Hydraulic Boost Failure Compensation

(HBC)

When the vacuum booster fails, the HBC function

can compensate for the temporary vacuum

shortage caused by the vacuum failure and

increase the brake pressure. Meanwhile the

instrument cluster will indicate “Please Check

HBC”. In this case, please contact the GAC Motor

authorized shop for inspection as soon as

possible.
