4.6 Braking
Brake is the device to make the vehicle slow down and stop; the brake distance will be long if the
speed of the vehicle is high. For example, the brake distance in 60km/h is fourfold of that in
20km/h. which allows vehicle to slow as brake pedal is depressed.
WARNING!!!
WHEN VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN WATER OR AFTER THE VEHICLE IS WASHED, IT
SHOULD BE DRIVEN IN LOWER SPEED OR BY DEPRESSING BRAKE PEDAL.
THE BRAKE SHOULD BE CLEANED TO AVOID EXCESSIVE WEARING AFTER EXPOSURE
TO MUD, SAND OR WATER AND ACCUMULATED ROAD SURFACE.
AVOID DEPRESSION OF BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW.
Brake distance is different according to road situation, especially vehicle runs in high speed in rain
day will form water layer phenomenon (high speed running on the water accumulated road, If
vehicle speed exceed a speed, tires will not remove water on the road, thus form skidding state and
lose to control on water road.) And generate the phenomenon of no braking efficiency as driving on
water road. So notice specially to drive safely in rain day .The more serious tires worn, the higher
vehicle speed or the more water on the road, water layer phenomenon is formed easily.
•
After running on snow road, clean away snow and mud on the tires as soon as possible.
•
Four wheels must use assigned tires in the same specifications. Variation from specifications will
influence braking performance.
