BYD TANG 2024 - Starting and Driving; Starting the Vehicle

●
Look for the ignition point. If the
cabin smokes, do not open the hood
immediately. This will let a large
amount of air in and cause 󽗉re
spreading. There is limited comburent
in the cabin. Keeping the hood closed
can control the 󽗉re so that the 󽗉re
can be easily put out. Point the on-
board 󽗉re extinguisher at the ignition
point from the hood gap to put the
󽗉re out, or seek help from the passing
cars. If you can borrow more 󽗉re
extinguishers, open the hood to put it
out when you cannot see any 󽗊ame
from outside.
●
If the 󽗉re brigade is involved, ask for
a duty performance certi󽗉cate and a
description of 󽗉re cause.
●
After occurrence of the accident,
contact the insurance company for
post-event handling in a timely
manner.
REMINDER
●
In order to mitigate losses in the
event of an accident, the purchase
of commercial insurance (󽗉re loss,
theft, etc.) is recommended.
