Brake system

Brake system design

The hydraulic system of drive brake has two

separate circuits. Each circuit works

diagonally across the vehicle (the left-front

brake is connected with the right-rear

brake,etc.). If one circuit has problem, you

will still have braking at two wheels.

ABS

ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking

up or slipping when braking rapidly, so that

make you retain steering control.

When the front wheels are slipping, you will

not do steering control, in other words,

although turn the steering wheel, the vehicle

still runs directly. ABS helps prevent from

locking up, and because rapidly

pulsatile-typed brake is quicker than

person’s reaction, it is helpful to retain

steering control.

ABS also balances the front-to-rear braking

distribution according to vehicle loading.

Don’t pumping press on the brake pedal,

otherwise, it will let the ABS shut down.

When steering away from the hazard, you

should always keep firm, steady pressure on

the brake pedal, in order to let the ABS

activate. This is sometimes referred to as

“stomp and steer”.

When the ABS activates, you will feel a

pulsation in the brake pedal, and hear some

noise. This is normal, it is the ABS rapidly

pumping braking.

The speed of ABS activating depends on the

size of wheels’ driving force (adhesive

force). On dry pavement, you will need to

press on the brake pedal very hard before

the ABS activate. However, you will feel

the ABS activate immediately if you are

trying to stop on the snow or ice.
