INTRODUCTION OF DRIVING
Be sure to make air flow to
the front brake unblocked if the front
spoiler is mounted on the body,
otherwise, the braking system may
overheat or reduce its braking
efficency due to bad abstraction of
heat.
The brake booster is
controlled by the engine vacuum, and
the unit works only when the engine
is working. Therefore, be sure not

DESCRIPTION
FOR
THE BRAKING
SYSTEM
It is normal for the braking system to
generate some noises occasionally. But, if
it make sounds like grinding between
metals or screams, the brake discs may
have been heavily worn and need to be
replaced. Now, deliver the car to Chery
Authorized Service Station for repair.
Deliver the car to Chery Authorized
Service Station for repair if there are
consecutive chattering or vibrations being
transferred to the steering wheel when
braking.
A new brake lining must go through a
running-in before reaching its optimal
braking effect. The braking-effect will fall
a little in the initial 200 kilometer. In this
case, apply larger force on the pedal
properly to compensate the braking-effect.
This point also applies to the new brake
lining replaced.
Wear status of brake lining depends
greatly on operating mode and driving
method. For a vehicle mainly used in
urban traffic, the working conditions of its
brake linings is very hard; therefore, be
sure to send your vehicle to a Chery
Authorized Service Station to check the
thickness of the brake linings or replace
them at the specified maintenance
kilometrage.
When running downgrade, shift to a lower
gear timely to make full use of the
engine’s braking action for reducing the
load of the braking system. At this time,
do not keep pushing down the brake pedal
even braking is needed.
Damping brake disc may reduce the
braking efficiency. After driving through
water, rainstorm or car washing, push
brake pedal gently to make brake disc and
brake lining rub to generate heat, which
will evaporate the water and restore the
braking effect.
