Use and drive
■ If the battery SOC rises or drops abnormally, it’s recommended to contact a BYD Auto
Authorized Service Station for checking.
Note
● In order to ensure the safety of the power battery, the car should be kept away from
flammable and explosive materials, fire sources and various hazardous chemicals.
● The car should be parked away from the heat sources to avoid long-term exposure
to sunlight; otherwise the service life of the power battery will be reduced.
● If the vehicle is to be unused for a long time (>7 days), it’s recommended to maintain
the battery power level at 40%~60%, in order to prolong the life of power battery. If
the vehicle is to be unused for >3 months, ensure to fully charge the battery and
then discharge to 40%~60% once every 3 months, otherwise it will probably result in
over-
discharge and deteriorated performance or even damage of battery. The
vehicle malfunctions and damages arising thereof will not be covered by warranty.

● To avoid personal injury, do not touch the power battery directly;
● It’s recommended to contact a BYD Auto Authorized Service Station as soon as
possible.
● If there is liquid leakage when the power battery is damaged, do not touch the liquid;
if the liquid accidentally contacts your skin or gets into eyes, must rinse them with
plenty of water and seek medical service immediately;
● In case of a car fire, must use a special fire extinguisher to extinguish it; do not use a
water-based fire extinguisher.
