BYD Seal 2024 - Usage Precautions; Break-In Period; Trailer Towing

●
If smart charging fails, the low-voltage
battery may cut off the vehicle's power
supply. If you find before use that
the vehicle is not powered, try to
activate the low-voltage battery by
pressing the driver's door microswitch
continuously, and immediately power
on the vehicle to charge the low-
voltage battery. It is recommended to
charge it for more than one hour.
CAUTION
●
The low-voltage battery contains
relays. Thus, it is normal that relay
operating sounds may be emitted
from the battery.
●
The low-voltage battery shall
be charged with professional
charging tools, and shall not be
removed for recharging.
●
Do not jump-start the vehicle with
another fuel vehicle, as this may
damage the low-voltage battery.
●
The low-voltage battery is a
battery on low-voltage platform
that is different from an ordinary
lead-acid battery. Please read the
instructions for use in this manual
in detail.
●
The low-voltage battery contains
a power manager. To prevent
damage to the battery or injury,
do not disassemble or repair the
battery.
●
The low-voltage battery needs to
communicate with the vehicle for
normal use, so it is important to
connect its connector and wiring
harness correctly.
Usage Precautions
Break-in Period
●
If the powertrain is hard to start or
frequently stops turning, inspect the
vehicle immediately.
●
If the powertrain makes any abnormal
sounds, stop the vehicle for inspection.
●
If the powertrain has severe coolant
and oil leakage, stop the vehicle for
inspection.
●
The powertrain needs break-in. This
should preferably be done within the
first 2,000 km in economic mode.
Steady driving instead of high-speed
driving is recommended. The following
practices effectively prolong vehicle
service life:
●
Avoid flooring the accelerator pedal
when starting and driving the
vehicle.
●
Do not maintain a high or low speed
for too long.
●
Avoid speeding.
●
Do not use the vehicle to tow other
vehicles within the first 2,000 km of
mileage.
Trailer Towing
●
The vehicle can tow a trailer only when
equipped with towing function.
●
Do not make non-approved
modifications. Contact a BYD
authorized dealer or service provider
to install the towing kit and related
software updates. BYD does not
assume any responsibility for injuries
or damage caused by non-approved
modifications.
