4.7. Measure the thickness of friction lining. If the

thickness is less than 2 mm, replace them in
pairs timely.
8
4.8. Remove the dustproof seal and check for the
damage of the dustproof seal. If necessary,
replace it with new one.
4.9. Remove the piston. Prepare one wood board

to hold the piston and place the wood board
between the piston and the wall of the brake
calliper. Press out the piston with the
compressed air carefully through the
connecting bore. Place the guard plate (such
as hard wood) at the notch of the brake
calliper to protect the piston.
Notice: Do not hold the piston with fingers to avoid
clamping. The brake calliper piston is prohibited
from removal at will and should be
removed/installed only by professionals or under
the guidance of the professionals.
4.10. Check the guide sleeve. The guide sleeve

should move smoothly and freely when
pushed with hand. Replace the guide
sleeve in event of jamming or stiffness.
Notice: Apply the lubricating grease onto
the guide sleeve during assembling.
4.11. Remove the seal ring carefully with the

plastic needle, clean the brake cylinder
and components with alcohol and blow
dry with compressed air. Carefully check
the surfaces of brake cylinder, piston, and

front circular groove and press it in
completely.
4.13. The area between the dustproof seal ring

and the brake clamp housing must be
kept dry. It should be kept away from the
brake cylinder cream or the brake liquid,
in order to ensure the correct position of
dustproof seal ring.
4.14. Fix the brake piston with the common

fixture available in market and press it
onto the dustproof seal ring slightly. Blow
the dustproof seal ring with compressed
air (up to 3.0bar) to attach the piston ring
onto the piston.
Notice: Dip the dustproof seal ring and piston with
brake liquid to facilitate the passing of the seal ring.
4.15. (Checking of brake disc) Check the

thickness of brake disc. Replace the
brake disc if the thickness is less than the
min thickness. Notice: The two brake
discs at the same axle should be replaced
at a time. The friction linings must be
replaced following the replacement of the
brake discs.
10
4.16. Check the max run-out of the end surface

V. Maintenance of ABS
1. Preparations
1.1. Tools
Special diagnosis instrument, open end wrench, socket wrench and etc.
1.2. Accessories
None
1.3. Appliances for Protection
Gloves, work clothes and work shoes
2. Precautions
2.1. When the ignition switch is turned to ON position, do not remove or install the electric elements and
the wire harness plugs of system so as to avoid the damages of electronic control device. To
remove or install such elements or plugs, turn off the ignition switch first.
2.2. Do not supply the over-high voltage to the ECU. Or else, it is easy for the electronic control device to
get damaged.
2.3. Be careful to make the electronic control unit free from knocking and collision so as to avoid
damages.
2.4. The electronic control device is likely to get damaged in the high-temperature environment.
Therefore, take off the electronic control device from the vehicle when baking the paint of vehicle.
2.5. Do not have the electronic control device (especially the wiring terminal) contacting the smear.
17
Or else, the wiring terminal will suffer from the poor contact.
2.6. If the voltage of battery is too low, the system can not work. Thus, pay attention to the inspection on
battery voltage. In particular, when the vehicle is newly started after a long-period parking, more
attention shall be paid to the battery voltage.
2.7. Do not have the wheel rotation speed sensor contacting the smear or other dirty objects. Or else,
the wheel rotation speed signals generated by the sensor may be not accurate enough, affects the
control precision of system, and even disable the system from normally working. In addition, do not
knock the rotation speed sensor; otherwise, it is easy to cause the demagnetization on this sensor,
which adversely influences the normal work of system.
2.8. During the maintenance for hydraulic system, fully release the high-pressure brake fluid in
accumulator first so as to avoid the body injury caused by squirt of brake fluid. To release the
high-pressure brake fluid in accumulator, turn off the ignition switch, and then repeatedly tread and
relax the brake pedal till the pedal become very stiff. Moreover, before the braking hydraulic system
has been completely installed, it is forbidden to turn on the ignition switch lest the galvanized electric
pumps work.
2.9. Use the special pipelines for the brake system. Since the brake system generally has very high
pressure, if the non-exclusive pipelines are adopted, it is quite easy to incur damages.
2.10. In the ABS, the wheel rotation speed sensor, the electronic control device and the pressure
adjusting device for brake pressure are irreparable. If they are damaged, they shall be replaced
as a whole.
2.11. After the braking hydraulic system has been maintained, or when the brake pedal is felt softer
during the utilization, it is necessary to deflate the brake system by the specified method and
sequence.
2.12. Use the tire recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as much as possible. If you do want to
use the tire of other types, you need to adopt these tire whose outer diameter, adhesion
performance and rotation inertia are similar to those of the previous ones. However, it is not
allowable to use the tire of different specifications together, as the mixed use will affect the
control effect of ABS.

1.4. At the finish of toe-in adjustment of front wheels, check the steering wheel for levelness. Otherwise,
loosen the lock nuts of the steering wheel, adjust the steering wheel to level position, and then
tighten the lock nuts of the steering wheel to the specified torque.
2. Adjustment of Front Wheel Camber Angle
2.1. Under normal conditions, it’s unnecessary to adjust the camber angle after the assembling of
independent suspension and wheel steering joint. In case the wheel camber angle is out of the
tolerance scope due to other reasons, it may be calibrated by means of the connecting bolts of
independent suspension and steering joint:
Front wheel camber angle: 52′±50′
2.2. Before the calibration, check (visual observation) the driving system components for damage and
replace the damaged parts.
2.3. In case the front wheel camber angle is out of tolerance, loosen the connecting bolts of front shock
absorber and steering joint and move the wheels for correction.
3. Adjustment of Caster Angle and Kingpin Inclination
The caster angle and the kingpin inclination are guaranteed by the designed structure and are free of
adjustment during use. Caster angle: 3°30′±30′, Kingpin inclination: 12°48′±30′If the parameters are out
of the specified range, replace the steering joint.
29
4. Adjustment of Rear-Wheel Alignment Parameters
All of the rear wheel positional parameters shall be guaranteed through design process.
4.1. Rear wheel camber angle: 0°±30′
4.2. Rear wheel toe-in: 0°±20′
4.3. If the deformation of rear shaft arising from the great impact force causes the change of rear wheel
alignment parameters that out of the specified range, correct the rear axle or replace the rear axle.
IV. Tire Installation and Air Pressure Adjustment

1. Installation of Air Valve
Prior to installing tire valve, firstly check the valve port to ensure whether it is smooth and free from burr,
and then apply glycerol on the rubber body surface, or soak the tire valve into glycerol. Pull or press (200
- 400N) using special tools to make the locating ring of the valve can go through the wheel holes, to this
point, the assembly is completed (soap water is allowed to substitute glycerol).
2. Tire Assembling
Before fit the tire, apply glycerol or soap water along the cycle of tire bead, meanwhile, note that:
2.1. When there is colored dot on the wheel rim, align the uniformity testing mark of tire to the colored
dot mark of wheel rim.
2.2. When without colored dot on the wheel rim, align the dynamic balance testing mark of tire to valve
position.
2.3. When without colored dot on the wheel rim, additionally, there is no dynamic balance testing mark,
however, static balance testing mark is available, at this point, align the tire valve to the static
balance testing mark.
2.4. The description concerning the uniformity, dynamic balance and static balance testing marks for
tires will be additionally provided in writing by the product division of Chery Company or suppliers. In
addition, this kind of descriptions will clearly be indicated on process sheet.
2.5. Carry out tire inflation strictly in accordance with specified pressure. During inflating process, air
pressure shall not exceed 10% of rated pressure. When performing separate packaging to spare
wheel assembly, the rated inflation pressure shall be 2.5bar, and the spare wheel assembly shall be
stored separately from four wheels. Before the four-wheel alignment, check the air pressure of all
wheels and adjust the air pressure: 2.2bar for front wheels and 2.2bar for rear wheels.
3. Tire Inflation
After completion of tire inflation, screw up the protective cap of valve, and then carry out dynamic
balancing test. Fit appropriate balance weight at the internal and external fringe of wheel rim as required.
It is required that the unbalancedness of the final assembly shall be less than 100g•cm, which is
approximately equivalent to a 5g balance weight at the internal and external fringe of wheel rim. Note:
each wheel and each side can use only one balance weight. Additionally, its maximum mass shall not be
more than 70g. During assembling process, never hit the balance weight too heavy. Otherwise, replace
balance weight in time. In addition, never use the replaced balance weight again.
4. Installation of Wheel and Tire Assembly.
When fixing wheel and tire assembly, first, manually screw up the wheel bolt onto the hub for pretension,
after that use special tools for tightening in accordance with diagonal process. Tightening torque shall be
110±10N.m. It is prohibited to use impact wrench to prevent from wheel damage, over loose or over tight.
It is not allowed to apply grease on wheel bolt (For new installed wheel and tire assembly, the wheel
bolts should be tightened at first running of 100km to guarantee the tightening torque. The tightening
torque checking of wheel bolts is one of the items of regular maintenance)
5. Tightening Method of Wheel Nuts
Tighten the fixing nut in a decussate way, the tightening force shall be approximately equal, then wheel
shall be able to turn freely. When carry out final tightening, the wheel shall be on the ground.
