BYD Seal 2024 - Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)

WARNING
●
Transmission may be seriously
damaged due to lack of
lubrication if the vehicle is
allowed to move for too long after
the motor is turned off and "N"
gear is engaged.
●
When the motor is running and
the vehicle is in Park or Drive
gear, always stop the vehicle by
stepping on the brake pedal, as
there is still force transmitted
from the actuator and the vehicle
can travel slowly even in its idle
condition.
●
If you want to shift a gear while
driving forward, do not step on
the accelerator pedal to prevent
accidents.
●
Never shift to Reverse or press
the "P" button while the vehicle
is moving, in order to prevent
accidents.
●
Never coast downhill in Neutral
or Park, even if the motor is not
running.
●
If the EPB indicator does not
come on after shifting into Park,
enable EPB in
→ ADAS →
Safety Assist on the infotainment
touchscreen and contact a BYD
authorized dealer or service
provider for inspection.
