the event that the ABS is running,
especially urgent brake. Do not
repetitively depress the brake pedal,
in order to guard against brake
distance’s increase.
ABS will run while the speed is
accelerated to 10km/h, and it will
stop working while the speed
decreases to 5km/h.
In the event of brake on smooth
roads or on rainy days, ABS will
work. While starting engine or
engine has been just started, you
may hear the click sound or motor
sound
arising
from
engine
compartment, which implies the
ABS’s self- inspection instead of
troubles.
In the event that ABS is working,
the following cases may take place,
but they do not mean troubles.
●You may hear the sound of ABS
working and feel that the brake
pedal & steering wheel are
vibrating. In addition, you may hear
the motor sound arising from
engine compartment while the
automobile is parked.
●At the end of ABS working, the
brake pedal may slightly move
downwards.
Warning
Do not overvalue the ABS,
though ABS is favorable for
automobile control. However,
careful drive, appropriate speed,
and safe space are still important,
because
automobile
brake’s
stability and steering wheel’s
maneuverability are limited even
through ABS is working. In the
event that the brake force is
beyond the tire’s control ability
or hydroplaning takes place due
to high-speed running on rainy
days, ABS fails to effectively
control the automobile. ABS is
not designed for shortening
brake distance, thus it is a must
to drive at appropriate speed and
keep safe space from front
vehicles.
Compared
to
automobiles without ABS, the
automobiles equipped with ABS
may need longer brake distance
in the following cases:
●To drive on coarse roads, gravel
roads, and snowy roads.
●To drive across sidesteps, such
as the junction of roads.
●To drive on the rough roads.
Tires with designated size and
designed pressure should be
installed on the four wheels, and
ABS leverages wheel speed
sensor to inspect each wheel’s
rotary speed, in a bid to measure
automobile’s speed. Unqualified
wheels will lead to inaccurate
wheel rotary speed and overlong
brake distance.
