ABS indicator
ABS has the self-diagnosis function. If
malfunction happens, the ABS indicator
(refer to 88
th
page) on instrument panel
comes on. This means that the ABS function
of braking system has shut down. At this
time, the brakes still supply common
braking ability like a conventional vehicle
without ABS. You should have BYD
authorized service station to inspect your
vehicle as soon as possible.
If the ABS indicator and the braking system
indicator come on together, and the hand
brake is fully released, it means that the
front-to-rear braking distribution system
may also be shut down.
Inspect the brakes according to the
explanation on page 91. If the brakes feel
normal, you should drive slowly, and have
your vehicle repaired by BYD authorized
service station. At this time, avoid sudden
hard braking which could cause the rear
wheels to lock up and possibly lead to a loss
of control.
Driving in atrocious weather
Because the decrease of driving force
(adhesive force) and visibility, different
environments such as rain day, fog day and
snow weather needs different driving skill.
Maintain the vehicle well at any time. You
need to be more careful when you have to
drive in atrocious weather. You should not
use the speed-fixed cruising control (limit to
some vehicle type) under these conditions.
Driving skill—the speed driving in wet
weather is slower than in the dry weather.
Your vehicle also needs longer time to react,
put stable and uniform pressure on all the
control installations, even if it is under the
condition which looks like a little wet. In
the wet weather, sharp steering or sudden
hard braking, both possibly lead to a loss of
control. You must be more careful in the
first a few kilometers that you adopt the
changing of driving conditions, especially in
the snow weather. One driving person
maybe forget the driving skills on the snow
surface in the several months of summer, he
(she) needs to master these skills anew
through practicing.
