BYD SEAL EV - Fire Prevention

• High-voltage components belong to
electronic devices, it may not fully dry
out by any means after soaking in
water.
• Vehicle safety and operating
performance will be seriously a󽗈ected
if high-voltage parts are waterlogged,
because insulation is seriously
compromised and the risk of short-
circuit is greatly increased. In this case,
the safety and service performance of
the vehicle will be a󽗈ected greatly.
•
Waterlogged high voltage parts pose a
very high safety risk, due to reduced
protection and voltage withstanding
capacities.
Fire Prevention
To prevent vehicle 󽗉res in a timely and
e󽗈ective manner, pay attention to the
following during use of the vehicle:
• No 󽗊ammable or explosive items are
allowed in the vehicle.
•Temperatures may reach 60-70°C in a
vehicle exposed to direct sunlight in
summer. Therefore, 󽗊ammable and
explosive items, such as lighters,
cleaning agents and perfumes,
stored in the vehicle can cause a 󽗉re
or even explosion easily.
• Make sure cigarettes are thoroughly
put out.
•Smoking is not only harmful to your
health, but can also may cause a 󽗉re.
Cigarettes that not thoroughly put
out may cause a 󽗉re.
• It is recommended to go to a BYD
authorized dealer or service provider
for regular vehicle checks.
•Check vehicle wiring, connections,
wiring harnesses, insulation, 󽗉xed
position and etc.regularly. Deal with
identi󽗉ed problems promptly.
• Do not re󽗉t vehicle wiring or add any
unauthorized electrical appliance.
•The addition of extra electrical
appliances, such as high-power
audio systems, light 󽗉xtures, etc.,
may overload and overheat the
wiring harness and increase the risk
of 󽗉re.
•Improper re󽗉tting of electrical
appliances or wiring may cause
a 󽗉re 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 󽗊ammables
such as dry grasses, dead woods,
leaves or wheat straws under the
vehicle. If any, a 󽗉re may be caused.
•When the vehicle is running, avoid
driving on the road sections piled
up with 󽗊ammables such as dry
leaves, wheat straws and grasses,
or immediately stop the vehicle to
check whether any 󽗊ammables are
carried along after passing such road
sections.
• Keep a lightweight 󽗉re extinguisher in
the vehicle and know how to use it.
•In order to ensure vehicle safety, a
󽗉re extinguisher should be equipped
in the vehicle, and be checked and
replaced regularly. Also, you should
familiarize yourself with use of the
󽗉re extinguisher and be prepared for
any accidents.
• Disconnect the negative cable of the
iron starter battery when the vehicle is
being serviced or repaired.
• In the event of a 󽗉re in the vehicle,
take e󽗈ective measures in a timely and
calm manner to minimize any losses:
