to avoid scratching them, which may
a󽗈ect their sealing performance.
2. Wipe o󽗈 dust or sand around the roof
metal sheet with a wet cloth to prevent
abrasion of sealing strips when the
sunroof is closed, which may a󽗈ect the
sunroof sealing performance.
3. Frequently clean the rails, front
sash and other parts to avoid the
accumulation of dust, sand, and
leaves, and prevent the drainage holes
from being blocked by such debris,
resulting in water leakage into the
vehicle.
4. When washing the vehicle, do not aim
high-pressure water jets directly at the
sealing strips, to prevent high pressure
from distorting even damaging the
strips and water from leaking into the
vehicle.
5. The sunroof freezes easily in winter.
Forcibly opening the frozen sunroof
will damage sealing strips or other
parts. Instead, warm up the vehicle
and turn on the A/C system to
accelerate the melting of snow and
ice on the sunroof. Try to open the
sunroof after the temperature inside
reaches a certain level. Dry the residual
moisture on the sunroof to prevent it
from freezing.
6. Do not open the sunroof fully on
extremely bumpy roads. Otherwise,
the vibration between the sunroof and
the rail may deform related parts and
even damage the motor. And, do not
open the sunroof when it rains or the
vehicle is being washed.
Vehicle Storage
●
If the vehicle needs to be parked for
a long time (more than a month),
the following preparations should
be made. Proper preparation helps
prevent degradation and ensure easy
use of the vehicle. If possible, park the
vehicle indoors.
●
Charge the vehicle on time.
●
Thoroughly clean and dry the body
surface.
●
Clean the interior of the vehicle to
ensure that carpets and mats are
completely dry.
●
Release the parking brake and set the
gearshift lever in parking gear.
●
Open one window slightly (if the
vehicle is stored indoors).
●
Disconnect the negative terminal of
the low-voltage battery.
●
Pad the front wiper arm with a folded
towel or cloth to keep it out of contact
with the windshield.
●
To reduce adhesion, apply silicone
lubricant to all door seals and body
wax to the painted surface where the
door seals meet.
●
Cover the vehicle body with a
breathable covering made of a "porous
material", such as cotton. Non-porous
materials, such as plastic sheeting, can
build up moisture and damage the
paint.
●
If possible, start the vehicle regularly
(preferably once every month). If the
vehicle has been parked for a year or
more, go to a BYD authorized dealer
or service provider for comprehensive
maintenance.
