SRS ECU, collision sensor, inflator, warning light, wiring and power supply.
■ If any of the following situations occurs, it indicates a fault in a part monitored
by the warning light system. In this case, contact a BYD authorized service
provider for inspection of the vehicle as soon as possible:
● With the vehicle powered up (OK), this warning light does not illuminate
or stays on upon power-up.
● This warning light illuminates or flashes during driving.
Motor coolant over temperature indicator
If this warning light keeps lighting up, it indicates the motor coolant over
temperature. In this case, stop the vehicle in order to cool down.
Steering system fault warning light
■ With the vehicle powered up (OK), this warning light will illuminate. If the
steering system works normally, this warning light will go out a few seconds
later.
■ If the steering system becomes faulty, this warning light will stay on. In this
case, send the vehicle to a BYD authorized service provider for inspection.
● The steering system uses the motor to reduce the force required for turning the
steering wheel.
● When turning the steering wheel, you may hear the motor humming when it is
working. This is not a sign of a failure.
● Do not maintain the steering wheel in a limit position for more than 5s;
otherwise the temperature protection will be activated, thus causing heavy
steering or damages.
■ When the steering wheel is turned frequently in place, if the steering system
fault warning light does not illuminate but steering feels heavy, it is not a fault.
● If the steering wheel is turned frequently in place for a long time, the
steering system boosting effect will decrease to prevent over
temperature of the system, resulting in heavy steering when operating
the steering wheel. In this case, avoid frequently turning the steering
wheel or pull over the vehicle; the system will return to normal in 10 min.
● If the steering system fault warning light illuminates, park the vehicle where it is
safe to do so immediately and contact a BYD authorized service provider.
