Brake System
Design of Brake System
The hydraulic system driving the brake
has two independent loops. Each loop
acts in the diagonal direction across the
car, linking the left front wheel and right
rear wheel, ect. If one loop has fault,
another two wheels still have brake
function.
Disc (Drum) Parking Brake
The car is equipped with disc (drum)
parking brake. This kind of brake system
requires running-in to the brake shoe
regularly, and especially, after brake
shoe and/or brake disc (drum) is
replaced.
Running-in shall be conducted by BYD
service station.
Anti-lock Brake System
ABS helps to prevent the wheels from
locking or skidding in hard braking,
allowing steering control in braking.
When the front wheels are skidding,
steering control is not available, which
means even if you rotate the steering
wheel, the car keeps running ahead
straightly. ABS helps to prevent wheel
locking, and keeps the steering control
available as the quick-acting pulse
brake responds much faster than the
driver.
ABS also distributes braking forces on
all wheels according to the load status of
the car.
Do not step on the brake pedal
repeatedly in a short time, otherwise
ABS may fail. When steering the car to
avoid danger, you shall keep stable and
strong pressure on the brake pedal so
as to give full play to ABS. Sometimes it
is called “Stepping stably, steering
accurately”.
When ABS acts, you will feel a shake on
the brake pedal and sometimes you will
hear noise. This is normal when ABS
makes quick-acting pulse braking.
The ABS response time depends on
tires’ driving force (adhesive force). On
dry and paved road, you shall step on
the brake pedal forcibly to enable ABS.
But if you want to stop the car on snowy
or freezing road, you can feel that ABS
acts quickly.
Important Safety Tips
ABS can not reduce the time and
distance required for braking. Its
function is to maintain steering control in
braking. You shall always keep safe
distance away from other vehicles.
ABS cannot prevent skidding caused by
sudden change of vehicle direction,
such as sharp turning or sudden lane
changing. Drive the car carefully at
safe speed regardless of the road and
weather conditions.
ABS cannot prevent reduction in vehicle
stability. In hard braking, the steering
shall be moderate. Sharp turn in driving
may cause the car to smash into the
traffic flow in the opposite direction or
rush off the road.
On soft or rugged road (such as sandy
or snowy road), a vehicle with ABS may
need longer braking distance than a
vehicle without ABS. Under this
condition, you shall slow down the car
while keeping larger distance from other
vehicles.
