performance due to water in high-
voltage components pose a high safety
risk.
Fire Prevention
To prevent vehicle fires in a timely and
effective manner, pay attention to the
following during use of the vehicle:
●
No flammable or explosive items are
allowed in the vehicle.
●
Temperatures may reach 60-70°C in a
vehicle exposed to direct sunlight in
summer. Therefore, flammable and
explosive items, such as lighters,
cleaning agents and perfumes,
stored in the vehicle can cause a fire
or even explosion easily.
●
Make sure cigarettes are thoroughly
put out.
●
Smoking is harmful to your health
and may cause a fire. Cigarettes that
not thoroughly put out may cause a
fire.
●
It is recommended to go to a BYD
authorized dealer or service provider
for regular vehicle checks.
●
Check vehicle wiring, connections,
wiring harnesses, insulation, and
fixed position regularly. Deal with
identified problems promptly.
●
Do not refit vehicle wiring or add any
unauthorized electrical appliance.
●
The addition of extra electrical
appliances, such as high-power
audio systems and light fixtures may
overload and overheat the wiring
harness and increase the risk of fire.
●
Improper refitting of electrical
appliances or wiring may cause
a fire due to contact resistance
and abnormal heating. Fuses or
other replacement wires in excess of
relevant electrical rating are strictly
prohibited.
●
Select a proper parking location.
●
When parking the vehicle, try to
avoid sun exposure.
●
When the vehicle is parked,
especially in summer, do check
whether there are any flammables
such as dry grasses, dead woods,
leaves or wheat straws under the
vehicle. If any, a fire may be caused.
●
When the vehicle is running, avoid
driving on the road sections piled
up with flammables such as dry
leaves, wheat straws and grasses,
or immediately stop the vehicle to
check whether any flammables are
carried along after passing such road
sections.
●
Keep a lightweight fire extinguisher in
the vehicle and know how to use it.
●
In order to ensure vehicle safety, a
fire extinguisher should be equipped
in the vehicle, and be checked and
replaced regularly. Also, you should
familiarize yourself with use of the
fire extinguisher and be prepared for
any accidents.
●
Disconnect the negative cable of the
low-voltage battery when the vehicle is
being serviced or repaired.
●
In the event of a fire in the vehicle,
take effective measures in a timely and
calm manner to minimize any losses:
●
Fires typically show initial warning
signs, such as abnormal noises and
odors in the vehicle body. When
abnormal conditions are found, turn
off and stop the vehicle immediately.
It is best to park the vehicle in a
windproof place, and then put out
the fire using the fire extinguisher in
the vehicle.
