Snow chains
■ The snow chains are only available for emergency use or in the specific area expressly
stated in the traffic laws.
■ The snow chains should be installed on the front wheels, and cares should be taken
when driving the car with snow chains on snow and ice roads. Some snow chains may
damage the tires, wheels, suspension and body. Fine snow chains should be used to
ensure that there is sufficient space between the tire and other parts in the wheel
housing.
■ Please carefully review and read the parts assembly drawing and other instructions
from the snow chain manufacturer.
■ Before purchasing tire chains and installing them onto the vehicle, you should consult
with the BYD Auto Authorized Service Station from which your vehicle is purchased.
■ After installing the snow chains, the driving speed on snow and ice roads should be
less than 30km/h.
■ To minimize the wear of tires and snow chains, the car with snow chains should not be
driven on snow-free roads.
Tip
● The driving speed should not exceed the lower of 30km/h and the limit speed
specified by the snow chain manufacturer.
● Drive the vehicle with cautions and notice the bumps, pitting, and sharp turns, which
will result in the jump of vehicle.
● If the vehicle is installed with tire chains, avoid the sharp turns or wheel-locking
braking and slow down the vehicle before making a turn, in order to prevent accident
due to out-of-control.
● Install the tire chains to the tires in symmetric manner and immediately disassemble
the tire chains once the further use of tire chains is not required.
