All pedals should be
stepped down to the
end and should fully
return with free
after replacement.
The worn-out status of the brake lining
depends on the working condition and
driving method to large extent. For the
vehicles mainly for city transportation,
the working condition of the brake
lining is relatively poor due to the
frequent start and stop. Therefore,
make sure to deliver your vehicle to the
Chery authorized service station for the
checking of brake lining thickness or
the replacement of brake lining in
accordance with the maintenance
mileage specified in the Maintenance.
For downward slope driving, it should
shift to low gear at proper time so as to
sufficiently take advantage of the brake
effects of the engine and reduce the
load of brake system. At that moment,
the brake pedal should be stepped
down all the time even the braking is
required.
The moisture brake disc will reduce the
brake efficiency. After paddling, heavy
rain or car wash, it should step down
the brake pedal slightly to generate
friction heat between the brake disc and
the brake lining so as to evaporate the
water and resume brake effects.
If the vehicle is equipped
with front boiler, it should
ensure the free airflow to the front
brake; otherwise the brake system may
overheats due to poor heat radiation to
reduce the brake effects.
Brake Booster:
If the brake booster can’t function
because the vehicle is trailed or due to
its own fault, then it needs to enhance
the stepping force to compensate the
boosting effects of the booster.
Therefore, it’s preferable not to place
the foot cushion or other covering on
the floor around the pedal. If really
needed, then make sure that the
placement of foot cushion won’t
obstruct the pedal movement without
any sliding.
The brake booster is subject to the
control of engine vacuum
booster. This device will act
only when the engine is
running. Therefore, do not turn off the
engine for sliding when driving on
downward slopes.
Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS)
The anti-lock brake system can avoid
the lock of the wheels that can keep the
steering performance of the vehicle
even under emergent braking so as to
escape the obstacles.
