Chery S11 / Chery QQ. Manual - part 288

Start and Operation

If the first brake oil path failed, the car
can still brake with the second oil path.
When this happens, you need to step on
the brake pedal with more strength. The
brake distance will be prolonged. Please
go to the Chery Service Station to check
the brake system before continuing with
your drive.
If the brake pedal is lower than before,
you need to adjust the rear drum brake. If
this happens, please test your car forward
and backing and test the brake in all
directions to find out the reason.
If the pedal does not get back or the
distance is too long, please contact with
Chery Service Station, because this
probably is a signal for the fault in brake.

Notice

The brake might invalidate if it is

overheated. So 1 Use engine brake under
low gear when driving down a
declivity2

Do not use the brake

continuously.
If the components of the brake are humid,
the brake will not function for a while. So
take a look at behind for any other cars
and step slightly on the brake pedal to
check whether the function has lost. Then
keep the distance with other cars for
enough space, and step slightly on the
brake pedal until it get back to work.
When crossing water (which is deep
enough to wet the components) or after a
washing, repeat the above process to
avoid any accident. The brake friction
piece and the brake cushion might be
worn. So do not lay your feet on the
brake pedal during driving.

ABS

ABS is a kind of advanced electric brake

system which can prevent the car from
sliding during a brake.
ABS is to prevent the wheel from locking
in an emergency brake or on a smooth
road, and to keep the swerving and
stability of the car.
This system use sensor to detect the
differences among each wheel speed and
begin to function when the wheel is going
to lock. The system detected the wheel
speed before locking and control relative
brake with electric signal.
When opening the ignition switch, the
ABS alarm light glitters for automatic
check and shut down in 4-5 seconds. If
the alarm light does not shut down or
light up during driving, it indicates there
is trouble with the ABS. The car can still
brake regularly without ABS. Please
contact with Chery Service Station if this
happens.

Start and Operation

Brake with ABS

Do not fear the vibration of the brake
pedal. Step down the brake pedal and
maintain until starting the ABS no matter
how the road status is.
ABS adjusts the brake pressure of each
wheel for best performance and does not
loose direction stability or steering
control at the same time.
When the ABS is operating, there might
be slight vibration with some noise. This
kind of vibration and noise display the
ABS is working normally.
In an emergency, step down brake pedal
and clutch pedal at the same time, and the
ABS immediately takes effect so as you
can fully control the steering.
We suggest you to familiarize with these
performances to avoid unnecessary
danger.

ABS Self-check

After starting the engine, ABS begins to
self-check.
ABS self-checks is to check for system
fault. You can hear a slight mechanical
noise which is normal.

Notice

Brake distance will differ according to
the road and running condition, so 1.
keep a safe distance with the front car. 2.
drive slowly on humid or smooth roads.
ABS can not prevent any accident caused
by careless or false operations, so 1. drive
carefully.2. decelerate when steering.3.
Step on the brake pedal forcibly and
maintain. When the ABS alarm light
enlightened, it shows there is fault with
ABS, so 1. Stop and contact with Chery
Service Station.2. check by the experts
before continue to drive.
