b. Use neutral detergent to wash the vehicle,
following the manufacturer's instructions
when mixing the detergent with water. Dip
a soft cloth into the detergent to wipe the
vehicle gently, and use soap water and
clean water to remove the dirt.
c. Flushing with running water thoroughly,
otherwise when soap water gets dry, it will
leave taints. Especially, please use clean
water to flush each part of the vehicle after
washing in the summer.
d. To avoid leaving water mark, please wipe
dry with a clean soft towel. Do not wipe or
press too hard, or the paint surface may be
damaged.
WARNING
Avoid flushing the high-voltage electronics
during cleaning.
Decorative plastic parts on wheels: the
decorative plastic parts can easily be
damaged by organic substances. If any
organic substance spills onto the decorative
parts, please wash away by clean water and
check if the parts are damaged.
Tips
Do not install plastic decorative pieces
which have been seriously damaged on
wheels, or they may drop off the wheel
while driving and thus lead to an accident.
Aluminum wheel: Wash it only with neutral
soap water or neutral detergent.
Plastic bumper: be careful washing it. Do not
use detergent containing grinding medium to
wipe it, because its front side is soft.
Asphalt from the road: wash it using
turpentine or detergent marked as
non-harmful to painted surfaces.
NOTE
Do not use such organic substances as
gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, and strong
solvent as they may cause poisoning or
damage.
Auto Car Washing
You can clean your car in a automatic car
wash. However, you should still take care that
some procedures will damage the paint and
impair its durability and glossiness, especially
for those deep color vehicles. Usually, the
workers will tell you the safest procedures for
the vehicle paint. Pay special attention to not
flushing the electric vehicle battery pack on
the chassis, so as to reduce the possibility of
water penetration.
Waxing for BYD e6A
To keep the glossy surface as new, we
suggest you to polish and wax the vehicle
regularly.
Waxing must be done once per month or
when the vehicle body shows poor
water-resistant performance.
