BYD SEAL EV - Carrying Luggage

• Keep moderate speeds in motorways.
The higher the speed, the higher
the consumption. Maintaining vehicle
speed within the economical speed
range can save power.
3. Reduce load:
• Consumption is higher when air
conditioning is used. Turn the A/C
to reduce power consumption. When
outside temperatures are moderate,
the use of air circulation instead of air
conditioning reduces consumption.
• Do not overload the vehicle
unnecessarily. Excessive weights will
add the load of vehicle, increasing
energy consumption.
4. Other tips:
• Make sure tire pressure is correct.
Low tire pressure increases energy
consumption and wear.
•
Keep front wheels properly aligned,
avoid driving into curbstones, and
drive slowly in rough terrain.
Misalignment of the front wheels
not only increases tire wear, but
also increases load on the electric
powertrain and power consumption.
• Keep the bottom of the vehicle clean
and mud free. This reduces vehicle
weight and prevents corrosion.
REMINDER
• Do not coast in neutral gear.
Carrying Luggage
• This vehicle has multiple storage
spaces that allow you to
conveniently keep items. Overloading
or improper accommodation may
a󽗈ect maneuverability, stability and
normal operation of the vehicle, and
reduce its safety.
• The glove box, storage boxes on
interior trim panels and 󽗉le pockets on
seat backs are designed for small and
light objects, while the trunk for large
and heavy objects.
• The vehicle's total load (vehicle +
passengers + luggage) is not allowed to
exceed the maximum allowable mass.
WARNING
• Overloading and improper
accommodation may a󽗈ect
stability and vehicle control,
which may lead to accidents.
• Observe the maximum weight
limit and other loading guidelines
in this manual.
• Do not carry highly magnetic
items, for those might interfere
in the the vehicle's operating
functions.
Carrying Items in the Passenger
Area
• All items that could be thrown inwards
and thus injure occupants in case of a
collision must be properly placed and
secured.
• Do not place any objects on the inner
side of rear windscreen. Otherwise,
these objects will block the driver's
line of sight and will be thrown here
and there inside the vehicle in case of
collision.
• Ensure that items placed on the 󽗊oor
behind the front seat do not roll under
the seat, so as to avoid a󽗈ecting the
driver's ability to control the pedals or
normal seat adjustment. Do not stack
items to a height taller than the front
seats' seat backs.
• Make sure the glove box is always
closed while driving. If the glove box
is open, the occupant's knees may be
injured in case of a collision or an
emergency stop.
