Brake - Ikco DONG FENG S30 2016 Owner's Manual

The brake system has two independent
hydraulic oil circuits. If one circuit fails,
the other can brake the wheel as well.
Application of brake
Do not put the foot on the brake pedal
during driving, or else, the brake will be
overheated, the wear of brake disc and
brake block will be speeded up and the
fuel consumption will increase.
Warning
• Do not coast the vehicle with the
engine shut down.
• To reduce brake wear and avoid
brake overheat, decrease the
speed and switch to the lower
gear when driving down a long
slope.

Brake

overheating
weaken the brake performance,
causing the vehicle out of control.
On the smooth road, be careful for
braking, accelerating or downshift.
Sudden braking or accelerating
will cause wheel slip and then
accident as a result.
Type of brake
This vehicle applies the vacuum booster
brake, which utilizes the engine vacuum
effectively to enhance the brake force.
If the engine stops, the vehicle can still
be braked by depressing the service
brake pedal. But a larger pressure is
required to stop the vehicle and the
brake distance will be lengthened.
If the engine fails to run or is shut down
during driving, the brake booster will not
work and a larger force is required to
depress the brake pedal.
Precautions for brake wetting
When washing vehicle or driving in water,
the brake may be wetted. As a result, the
brake distance will be lengthened and
the vehicle will drift during braking.
To dry the brake, slightly depress the
will
service brake pedal when the vehicle
travels at a safe speed, heating the
brake until the brake recovers normal.
Avoid high-speed driving before the
brake can work normally.
Function of ABS
ABS is the abbreviation for anti-lock
brake system. It is only required to
depress and hold the service brake
pedal to operate this system.
ABS controls the brakes of all wheels to
prevent the wheel from locking during
emergency braking and braking on the
smooth road.
This system adjusts the brake fluid
pressure by detecting the rotary speed
of each wheel, so as to prevent the
vehicle from side sliding due to wheel
locking.
This system, through avoiding wheel
locking, helps the driver to control the
steering wheel better and reduces
the possibility of side sliding when the
vehicle brakes on the smooth road.
