5. Driving guide
NOTE
● Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal during driving, otherwise the
brakes will heat up to an abnormally
high temperature, and the brake linings
and brake pads will wear excessively,
increasing the braking distance.
● When driving down a long slope or a
steep slope, downshift to a low gear
(in manual mode) to avoid continuous
application of the brake, so as to make
full use of engine braking and reduce
brake load.
● Continuous application of the brake will
cause brake overheat and result in a
temporary loss of braking performance.
NOTE
● Under normal driving conditions, brake
linings will wear, and dust will accumulate
on wheels, which is inevitable but yet has
no effect on the braking performance.
● If rust and corrosion exist because the
brake linings and brake discs are not
used or used rarely, noise may be heard
from brakes for the first use. This is
normal. It is recommended to choose a
safe area and good road conditions and
brake the vehicle several times to clean
the brake linings and brake discs.
Brake booster
The brake booster is used to increase the
pressure applied by the driver on the brake
pedal, and it only works when the engine is
running.
If the brake booster does not work properly
due to a fault, or when the vehicle is towed, the
force on the brake pedal must be increased
to compensate for the assist power loss of the
brake booster.
WARNING
● Never make the vehicle coast with
the engine shut down, because at
this moment, the brake booster does
not work, the braking distance will be
greatly increased, and an accident is
likely to be caused.
● If the brake booster is not working (for
example, when the vehicle is being
towed), the brake pedal must be
depressed with a much greater force
than normal.
