Parking Brake - Geely Emgrand 2015 Manual

Starting and Driving
engine stops running during the vehicle is
moving, you needs to conduct the braking
in the normal way, rather than in inching
braking. It is more difficult to press the
brake pedal in that way. Even if the engine
stops running, there is still some braking
booster for braking, but the power booster
will be consumed when braking. Once the
braking booster is exhausted, the braking
time will prolong, and it is more difficult to
press the brake pedal. Installation of non-
original attachments will impact perfor-
mance of your vehicle.

Parking Brake

Be sure to securely tighten the parking
brake and don't press the release button;
you should tighten the parking brake as far
as possible when driving on the slopes.
When the manual parking brake is pulled up
and the ignition is switched on, the parking
braking indicator light will be illuminated.
To release the parking brake, you should
slightly pull up the brake lever and press the
release button, and then completely release
the brake lever.
In order to reduce the operation force of the
parking brake, you should apply the service
brake at the same time.
In order to avoid the unexpected
move of the vehicle, you should
tighten the parking brake after you stop the
vehicle stably every time.
Be sure to completely pull down the brake
lever while releasing the parking brake.
Otherwise the partially releasing of the
parking brake will cause overheating of the
brake parts and affect the braking perfor-
mance, and cause the too earlier wear of
the brake disc and friction plates.
Electronic Stability Control Sys-
tem （ESC）
The Electronic Stability Control System
(ESC for short) is a kind of active safety
technology assisting the driver to control
the vehicle, and can automatically adjust
the automatic correction of the instability of
vehicle body, conducive to guard against
accidents. The ESC can make use of the
advanced sensor technology to judge the
intention of the driver driving direction so
that when the vehicle starts to be off the
road, the system will implement the wheel
braking or reduce the engine torque accord-
ing to the actual situations to guide the vehi-
cle back to the correct route.
The ESC should not go against the
physical principle applied to the vehi-
cle. Even the vehicle is equipped with the
ESC and other systems, the slippery and
wet roads still have a lot of risks.
