WARNING
●
When the boot lid is opened,
air󽗊ow will bring the exhaust into
the vehicle, creating a dangerous
environment. If the vehicle must
be started with the boot lid open,
all windows shall be lowered and
the interior air control system
shall be adjusted according to the
following prompts:
●
Select the fresh air mode.
●
Select the "Face level vent and
foot level vent" mode.
●
Set the fan speed at "High
speed”.
Wading into Water
●
Check water depth - it must not exceed
the vehicle's lower edge - before
driving into 󽗊ooded areas.
●
For driving in water, turn o󽗈 the A/C
before starting the vehicle, engage
the low gear, and then keep pressing
the accelerator pedal gently to drive
over the waterlogged road stretch at a
steady and slow speed. Do not release
the pedal midway, or the exhaust back
pressure is generated to suck water
into the engine and causes serious
damage.
●
Do not park the vehicle in water, or
reverse the vehicle and turn o󽗈 the
engine in water.
●
After crossing over, press the brake
pedal several times to dry out the discs
and recover brake performance.
●
Be careful when driving through deep
water, as brakes may get wet.
WARNING
●
If there is any water or mud
on the brake disc, it may result
in delayed brake reaction and
extended braking distance, so
attention should be paid to
preventing accidents.
●
Avoid emergency braking after
driving through any waterlogged
road section.
●
No water ingress into the engine is
allowed! If the vehicle is running
on a low-lying and waterlogged
road, prevent water ingress into
the engine; otherwise, the engine
may be seriously damaged. Such
damaged is not covered by the
vehicle's warranty
●
Other systems like transmission,
driving and electrical systems may
also be seriously damaged upon
submersion. Such damage is not
covered by the vehicle's warranty
either.
●
In strong convective weather,
try your best to charge the
vehicle in sheltered places. If the
vehicle is soaked or wades in
water beyond the door sill, water
may ingress into the high-voltage
components. In such a case,
please contact a BYD authorized
dealer or service provider in
time for proper detection and
handling.
