(the mask and re󽗊ector could be
burned and deformed easily), so
they need heat dissipation. There are
heat dissipation holes on the lamp
housing for convection. The greater
the temperature di󽗈erence is, the more
active the convection is. During the
convection, the moisture in the air
inevitably enters a lamp. Factors such
as exposure to sunlight, convection,
and bulb heating easily cause the
moisture in the air to condense into
fog or water beads on the lamp surface
at low temperatures. This is called
headlight fog.
REMINDER
●
If fog presents inside the
combination lights and inside
the turn signal on the external
rearview mirror, it may be
due to high air humidity or
signi󽗉cant temperature di󽗈erence
between the vehicle and its
surroundings. In that case, turn
on the combination lights or turn
signal while driving. The fog will
evaporate after a short period of
driving.
●
If there is signi󽗉cant water
accumulation inside the lights,
it is recommended to drive the
vehicle to a BYD authorized
dealer or service provider for
maintenance.
Vehicle Storage
●
If the vehicle needs to be parked for
a long time (more than a month),
the following preparations should
be made. Proper preparation helps
prevent degradation and ensure easy
reuse of the vehicle. If possible, park
the vehicle indoors.
●
Charge the vehicle on time.
●
Thoroughly clean and dry the body
surface.
●
Clean the interior of the vehicle to
ensure that carpets and mats are
completely dry.
●
Release the parking brake and set the
gearshift lever in parking gear.
●
Open one window slightly (if the
vehicle is stored indoors).
●
Disconnect the 12V battery's negative
terminal.
●
Pad the front wiper arm with a folded
towel or cloth to keep it out of contact
with the windshield.
●
To reduce adhesion, apply silicone
lubricant to all door seals and body
wax to the painted surface where the
door seals meet.
●
Cover the body with a breathable
covering made of a "porous material"
such as cotton. Non-porous materials,
such as plastic sheeting, can build up
moisture and damage the paint.
●
If possible, start the vehicle regularly
(preferably monthly). If the vehicle
has been parked for a year or more,
go to a BYD authorized dealer or
service provider for comprehensive
maintenance.
