energy. Therefore, the vehicle will produce
a "creak" sound, which is normal and does
not affect the performance and use of the
vehicle.
Heating of brake lining after use
Braking is realized by friction between the
brake drum and the friction lining, which is
a process of converting kinetic energy into
thermal energy. Therefore, the heat is
generated. And it is normal for brake lining
to generate heat after braking.
Do not touch the brake disc with
hands after parking to avoid scalding.

Braking energy recovery

The brake system of the vehicle has an
energy recovery function: When the vehicle
is in forward gear (D), kinetic energy is
converted into electric energy during
braking or coasting, and the power battery
is charged to feed back energy and
improve the driving range. In the process
of energy recovery, the wheels reversely
drag the drive motor to rotate, and the
drive motor and the service brake system
jointly realize vehicle deceleration.
This function can be set by pressing the
brake energy recovery button on the
instrument panel switch block.
The energy recovery level must be set
when the vehicle is in D gear. Press the
button continuously to switch among three
levels: L1, L2, and L3.
In order not to affect the driving
feeling, L3 is recommended when
the vehicle is fully loaded.
Repair and Maintenance
It is normal to have slight stalling and
motor noise
decelerates.
When the power battery is full and its
temperature is too high or too low,
the energy
automatically reduced in order to
prevent the battery from being
damaged.

Brake fluid

In the hydraulic brake system, if the brake
fluid is too little or has not been replaced
for a long time, it will affect the braking
performance. Therefore, the brake fluid
shall be added in time and replaced
regularly.
When the brake fluid drops to a
certain low level, the brake system
failure warning indicator will light up.
Check
The brake fluid reservoir is located on the
right side of the engine compartment.
Check whether the fluid level in the
reservoir is between MIN and MAX.
