Brake Booster; Brake Failure - Chery Tiggo Owner's Manual

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.
When driving downhill, it is necessary to shift to
lower gear position and take full advantage of the
engine braking to avoid
continuously. Otherwise the
distance will occur due to overheating of brake or
even cause temporary brake failure.
The moister brake disc will cause vehicle cannot
slow down properly or deviation in braking;
stepping down the brake pedal slightly can test the
influence to brake. After vehicle going through
deep water, the brake pedal shall be stepped on
lightly to test the if the brake is affected; to dry up
the brake, please keep the safe driving speed and
step on brake pedal slightly until the brake function
is recovered.
Note:
If the front spoiler is mounted optionally on the
vehicle, it is necessary to ensure the air to the front
brake is unobstructed, or else the brake system
may be too hot for poor radiation

Brake Booster

operating brake Note:
longer braking
The brake booster is controlled by engine vacuum.
It works only when the engine operates. Therefore,
don't stop the engine to let vehicle sliding as going
downhill.
If the brake booster cannot work because the
vehicle is drawn or it breaks down, it is necessary
to step on the brake pedal with great force to
restore the assisting efficiency of the booster.
Note:
Each pedal can be stepped to the end and return
back to the original position completely, and should
move freely.
Therefore, the floor around cannot be covered by
foot mat or other coverings. If it surely is
necessary, it shall be assured that the foot mat not
hamper the movement of pedal and not slide.

Brake Failure

If brake failure occurs in vehicle running, please
use parking brake for emergency stop, but the
vehicle stop distance will be longer than normal
brake.
During vehicle's normal running, the
applying of hand brake will cause vehicle's
instant out of control; if it is necessary to stop
the vehicle by hand brake, please apply the
force slowly to avoid rear wheel lock and you
shall be on high alert in the process.
