necessary to step on the brake pedal with great force, and
the stopping distance becomes longer. If this situation
occurs, please send the vehicle to Chery authorized
service station for overhaul, and then you can continue
your travel.

brake distribution systems fail or the brake fluid level is too
low.
The height of brake level shall be checked regularly
according to the requirement.

metal grinding or screeches for a long time, it indicates the
brake lining may be seriously worn and needs to be
replaced. Here the vehicle shall be sent to Chery
authorized service station for overhaul.
If there is continuous jitter or vibration passing to the
steering wheel when braking, the vehicle shall be sent to
Chery authorized service station for overhaul.
The new friction lining of brake has to be run in to get the
best braking effect. The braking effect may reduce a little in
the first 200 km, in this situation, only stepping on the pedal
with a larger force can retrieve the braking efficiency. This
point is also applicable for the newly-replaced brake lining.
The wearing conditions of the brake friction lining
mostly depends on the working condition and driving
manner. For the vehicles mainly used on the city road, the
working conditions of the brake friction lining is very
rigorous for frequent starting and shutdown, therefore,
please be sure to check the thickness of brake friction lining
or change it at Chery authorized service station according
to the service mileage specified by maintenance rules.
