Vehicle Wading into Water
●
Check water depth - it must not exceed
the vehicle's lower edge before driving
into flooded areas.
●
If crossing a flooded area is necessary,
turn off the air conditioner and keep
acceleration steady to slowly cross
over.
●
Never stop, back up, or turn off the
vehicle in flooded areas.
●
Be careful when driving through deep
water, as brakes may get wet. After
crossing over, press the brake pedal
several times to dry out the disks and
recover brake performance.
WARNING
●
Drive carefully to avoid accident
when there is any water or slurry
on the brake disc surface, as this
may increase the brake response
time thus extending the braking
distance.
●
Carefully apply any wet brake, and
remove ice or water on it.
●
Avoid emergency braking as far as
possible after driving through any
waterlogged road section.
●
If the vehicle drives on
the waterlogged road, prevent
water from entering the motor,
otherwise the motor will

●
After the vehicle drives through
waterlogged road sections,
vehicle components, such as
drive system, driving system and
automotive electric system may
also be damaged seriously. Such
damage is not covered by the
vehicle's warranty either.
●
Be sure to find a sheltered
place when charging the vehicle
on rainy days. If the vehicle
is immersed in water or
wades through water over
the doorsill, which may cause
water ingress in high-voltage
components, promptly contact
a BYD authorized dealer or
service provider for testing and
troubleshooting.
●
Do not drive the vehicle on
the road where the depth of
accumulated water exceeds half
of the tires.
Influence of water ingress in high-
voltage components:
●
Water getting into high-voltage
components, which are electronic
devices, may not be fully dried out by
any means.
●
Water ingress seriously compromises
insulation of high-voltage
components, and conductive
substances in water may lead to short
circuit of high-voltage components or
such risk in the entire high-voltage
system. This significantly affects the
safety and service performance of the
vehicle.
