BYD e6A - Check Coolant Level

BYD e6A AUTO Owner's Manual
5-10 Motor and Chassis
Check Coolant Level
Check the transparent overflow tank of the
cooling fluid when the motor is cold. If the
cooling fluid level is located between "FULL"
and "LOW" line on the tank, it is in
compliance with the requirement. If the fluid
level is low, additional cooling fluid must be
added. (Refer to section "Choose Cooling
Fluid" below for information on usable type of
cooling fluid.)
The cooling fluid level in the overflow tank
varies with the temperature of the motor. But
if the fluid level is under "MIN" line, more fluid
must be added until fluid level reaches "MAX"
line.
After adding cooling fluid, if the fluid level
drops in short period, there may be leakage in
the system. You shall conduct visual check to
radiator, hose, radiator cap, drain cock and
pump.
If visual check cannot find any leakage,
please contact BYD authorized service
station to check cap pressure and whether
there is leakage in the cooling system.
Tips
To avoid scorching, do not remove the
radiator cap when the motor is hot.
Choose Cooling Fluid
Only use cooling fluid authorized by BYD
authorized service station. Choose and add
suitable type of cooling fluid into cooling
system according to environment
temperature.
Improper coolant could damage the cooling
system, such as motor.
NOTICE
Do not over use water, which may damage
motor cooling system in winter.
