3. Driving Guide
Hint
●
If the brake pedal is not depressed,
press the EPB system button to release
the parking brake. The buzzer will
alarm, and the instrument cluster
display will show “please depress the
brake and release the EPB”.
●
The noise may be produced, which is a
normal phenomenon when releasing
the EPB.
●
When the vehicle battery has no power,
the system cannot remove the EPB.
Please contact GAC Motor Dealer for
handling, if the condition allows for the
cable emergency activation (Please
refer to Page 403) and the parking
brake is removed under this condition.
●
If the EPB is not applied for a long time,
the system will detect the conditions
automatically with audible noise.
Automatic Driving Release
When the door is closed and the driver has
fastened his seat belt, the EPB will be released
automatically when the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
Caution
●
When the vehicle is in the parking state,
do not depress the accelerator pedal
quickly. Otherwise, it will accelerate to
shorten the service life of EPB.
●
The utilization of the automatic driving
release function will shorten the
service life of the EPB, and it is
recommended to be used only in case
of rampway starting.
Warning
Do not depress the accelerator pedal when
the driver is operating in front/rear or
bottom of the vehicle, such as in the engine
running state with the transmission in
driving gear, even if the EPB is applied.
Otherwise, the vehicle will move and cause
accidents and even casualties.
Uphill Start Assist
When the vehicle has been parked on the
slope, fasten the seat belt, start the engine, put the
shift lever to the corresponding gear and depress
the accelerator pedal to assist uphill start and
avoid the vehicle sliding. The EPB will be
automatically removed after a smooth start.
Caution
The EPB cannot be automatically removed
if the safety belt is not fastened.
