BYD SEAL U DM-i - Fire Prevention

WARNING
●
Do not drive on roads where
the depth of accumulated water
exceeds half of the tyres.
In󽗊uence of water ingress in high-
voltage components:
●
Water getting into high-voltage
components, which are electronic
devices, may not be fully dried out by
any means.
●
Water ingress seriously compromises
insulation of high-voltage
components, and conductive
substances in water may lead to short
circuit of high-voltage components or
such risk in the entire high-voltage
system. This signi󽗉cantly a󽗈ects the
safety and service performance of the
vehicle.
●
The reduced ingress protection
rating and voltage withstanding
performance due to water in high-
voltage components pose a high safety
risk.
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.
●
In hot summer, the interior
temperature of the vehicle parked in
the sun can be more than 70°C. If
there are lighters, cleaning agents,
perfume, and other 󽗊ammable and
explosive materials in the vehicle,
it is easy to cause 󽗉res and even
explosions.
●
Make sure cigarettes are thoroughly
put out.
●
Smoking is not only harmful to
health, but also may cause a 󽗉re.
Cigarettes that not thoroughly put
out may cause a 󽗉re.
●
Contact a BYD authorized dealer or
service provider for regular inspection.
●
Check vehicle wiring, connections,
wiring harnesses, insulation, 󽗉xed
positions regularly. Deal with
identi󽗉ed problems promptly.
●
Do not modify the vehicle's wiring
or install any additional electrical
appliances.
●
Installing other electrical appliances
(such as high-power audio systems
and lights) causes excessive wiring
load, resulting in heating of the
wiring harness and 󽗉res. Improper
re󽗉tting of electrical appliances or
wiring may cause a 󽗉re due to
contact resistance and abnormal
heating.
●
Do not replace fuses with those
beyond the rated speci󽗉cation of
electrical appliances or with other
metal wires.
●
Select a proper parking location.
●
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. Do not park the vehicle in a
place exposed to the sun.
●
Keep a lightweight 󽗉re extinguisher in
the vehicle and know how to use it.
