BYD e6A Owner's Manual page 122

WARNING
ABS can not reduce the time and distance
required for braking. Its function is to
maintain steering control in braking. You
shall always keep safe distance away from
other vehicles.
ABS cannot prevent skidding caused by
sudden change of vehicle direction, such as
sharp turning or sudden lane changing.
Drive the car carefully at safe speed
regardless of the road and weather
conditions.
ABS cannot prevent reduction in vehicle
stability. In hard braking, the steering shall
be moderate. Sharp turn in driving may
cause the car to smash into the traffic flow
in the opposite direction or rush off the
road.
On soft or rugged road (such as sandy or
snowy road), a vehicle with ABS may need
longer braking distance than a vehicle
without ABS. Under this condition, you shall
slow down the car while keeping larger
distance from other vehicles.

ABS Indicator
The ABS system has a self-check function. If
any malfunction occurs, the ABS indicator
(refer to the description of combination meter)
on the instrument panel will come on. It
shows that the ABS is non-functional. In this
case, the brake can only perform common
braking like vehicles without ABS systems.
You should contact an authorized BYD
service station to inspect your vehicle as soon
as possible.
If the ABS (the anti-lock braking device)
indicator and brake system indicator come on
at the same time, while the hand brake lever
is released completely, it shows that the
brake force distribution system is also
non-functional.
Press the brake pedal slightly to check if it
feels normal; if normal, check the braking fluid
level when charging at the next time. If the
level is low, drive your car to BYD authorized
service station to check whether brake
system has leakage and check the brake
wear section.
If the brake pedal feels abnormal, you shall
take measures immediately. As the brake
system adopts dual loop design, even if part
of the system fails, you can still control
braking of the other two wheels. But at this
time you shall step the brake pedal deeper to
brake the car, and the brake distance will be
longer.
Slow down the vehicle, and park it at the
roadside. As the braking distance is longer,
driving the vehicle in this condition is
dangerous. You must have it towed away and
repaired as soon as possible.
If you have to drive the car for a short trip, you
must drive with extreme care at a low speed.
