REMINDER
●
The steering system features an
electric motor to reduce the force
required to turn the steering
wheel.
●
When turning the steering wheel,
a hum may be heard from the
running motor. This does not
indicate that the motor is faulty.
●
Do not turn the steering wheel
to its limit position for more
than ve seconds, otherwise the
temperature protection will be
activated and the steering system
will be damaged or steering will
become heavy.
●
If you have turned the steering wheel
frequently with the vehicle staying put
for a long time, the steering wheel may
become dicult to turn even if the
warning light does not turn on. This is
not a fault.
●
To prevent steering system
overheating, the power assist eect
will be reduced if the steering wheel
has been frequently turned with the
vehicle staying put for a long time. As
a result, the steering wheel become
dicult to turn. In this case, reduce
steering frequency or power o the
vehicle, and the system will recover
within 10 minutes.
●
In cases where low-voltage battery has
low SOC.
●
When the low-voltage battery voltage
drops below the EPS working
threshold of 9V, EPS will stop
providing steering power. The low-
voltage battery should therefore be
inspected and charged or swapped if
necessary.
●
A dead motor may prevent the EPS
system from working, so never turn o
the motor during driving. If the motor
dies while driving, hold on to the
steering wheel, pull over immediately,
and contact a BYD authorized dealer or
service provider.
WARNING
●
If the steering system warning
light goes on, immediately park
the vehicle safely, and contact a
BYD authorized dealer or service
provider.
Low-voltage power system fault
warning light
●
It lights up when the DC system or low-
voltage battery fails.
●
Charging and discharging stop when
this warning light turns on.
●
When this warning light lights up and
remain steady on while driving, the
vehicle speed will be limited.
●
This light is used to warn about the
operating state of the DC module and
the low-voltage battery module when
the vehicle is not being charged or
discharged.
●
If this warning light turns on while
driving, it indicates that there is a
problem with the DC system or the
low-voltage battery.
Powertrain fault warning light
●
If the powertrain fails, this warning
light turns on.
●
If any of the following cases occurs, it
means there is a fault in components
monitored by the warning light system.
In that case, contact a BYD authorized
dealer or service provider for vehicle
inspection as soon as possible.
●
This warning light is steady on when
the ignition is switched on.
