emergency braking, do not press the brake
repeatedly; this will lengthen the brake
distance.
When the vehicle speed is increased to over
5 km/h (kilometer/hour), the anti-lock brake
system enters work state. When the speed is
reduced to below 5km/h (kilometer/hour),
the anti-lock brake system will stop
working.
In rainy whether, pressing the brake pedal
can easily activate the anti-lock brake
system on slippery roads, e.g. manhole
covers, steel plates, bridge ends, etc.
When the engine is starting or the vehicle
has just begun driving, you may hear
clicking sounds in the engine compartment
or motor sound persisting for seconds. This
means the anti-lock brake system is
performing self-check and doesn't indicate
problem existence.
When the anti-lock brake system is
working, the following phenomena may
occur, but this doesn't indicate that the
system has faults:
You can hear the working sound of the
anti-lock brake system and feel the pulses of
the brake pedal and vibration of the vehicle
body and the steering wheel. Even after the
vehicle has stopped, you can still hear motor
sound sent out form
compartment.
When the anti-lock brake system is
ending its work, the brake pedal may move
forward a little.
Friendly Tips
Do not think too highly of the
anti-lock brake system; though it can
help with the vehicle control, it's
still very important to follow all
regulations and keep a proper driving
speed and safety distance, since even
when the anti-lock brake system
functions, its effect of stabilizing the
vehicle is limited.
In driving in rainy whether, if
the anti-skid performance of the tires
exceeds the allowance or wheel spin
occurs, the anti-lock brake system
will lose its effect of vehicle control.

The anti-lock brake system is not used
for shortening the brake distance, so
you should drive at proper speeds with
the safety distance kept with the
preceding vehicle. Under the following
conditions, longer brake distances may
be required compared with vehicles
without the anti-lock brake system:
Driving on uneven, pebble-laid or
snow-covered roads.
Driving
chains equipped.
Driving on steps connecting roads.
Driving on roads with recessions
and projections.
All of the four wheels are equipped with
specifically-sized
pressure: the anti-lock brake system
tests the vehicle speed with a speed
sensor to get the rotating speed of each
wheel. If tires not of the specified sizes
are used, the rotation speeds cannot be
determined
