Brake System - BYD S6 Owner's Manual

WARNING
 As the exhaust pipe is very hot,
when the engine is running or
immediately after it stops, keep
anyone and inflammables away
from the exhaust pipe.
 Do not make the engine run at
idle speed or park the vehicle on
ground surfaces covered with
inflammable grass, leaves,
paper or rags (especially
wheat-straw in summer). Please
avoid driving on such roads.

Brake System

The brake system is a cross hydraulic
system with independent dual circuits.
WARNING
 If the engine stalls, do not
depress the brake pedal
repeatedly, as the vacuum
pressure will be consumed
gradually at each depression.
 Even if the vacuum is consumed
completely, the brake can still
function effectively. But you must
apply much greater depressing
force on the brake pedal and the
brake distance becomes longer.
 Never creep the vehicle when
the engine has stalled.
Brake Pad Warning Plate
When it is necessary to replace the
brake pad due to wear, the brake pad
warning plate will sound. If you hear
the sound continuously during driving,
allow the nearest BYD service station
inspect and replace the brake pad. Do
not continue to drive the vehicle when
hearing the alarm.
It is a normal phenomenon for friction
between brake pad and brake disc to
occur and sometimes make a sound
during braking.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
The ABS helps prevent the wheels
from locking when the brakes are
applied suddenly and firmly or applied
on a slippery surface, helping to
ensure excellent driving stability and
steering performance of the vehicle.
It is easy to activate the ABS in wet
weather conditions such as rain or
snow, when depressing the brake
pedal on roads with a low friction
coefficient. You just need to depress
the brake pedal firmly to activate ABS,
so do not depress the brake pedal
repeatedly in emergency braking.
When ABS is operating, the following
may occur, but they are normal
phenomenons:
