Seat Belts

Seat Belt Overview

Studies have shown that proper use
of seat belts can significantly reduce
casualties in emergency braking, sudden
steering or collisions. Please read the
following information carefully and
observe it strictly.

CAUTION

●Before driving, make sure all
occupants are properly buckled
up to prevent serious injury or
death in emergency braking or in
a collision.

●The seat belts are designed
primarily for adults and are not
intended for children. Make sure
to choose an appropriate child
restraint system according to your
child's age and size (see P23)

●If a seat belt is damaged
or malfunctions, immediately
contact a BYD authorised
dealer or service provider
for confirmation and handling.
Until then, do not use the
corresponding seat.

●BYD has highly emphasized that all
occupants should always fasten their
seat belts while in the vehicle to
prevent serious injury or death.

●It is recommended that children be
seated in rear seats and always
use seat belts and suitable child
restraints. In emergency braking or
collision, unprotected children may be
seriously injured and their lives may
be endangered. Likewise, do not allow
children to be carried on someone's
lap. This will render the children not
adequately protected.

Emergency Locking Retractor Function

●When the driver turns sharply or
brakes suddenly, when there is a
collision, or when the occupant
leans forward too quickly, the seat
belt automatically locks to effectively
restrain and protect the occupant.

●When the vehicle travels smoothly,
seat belts are pulled out and retracted
as the occupants move slowly and
smoothly, allowing the occupants to
move freely.

●If the seat belt locks due to sudden
retraction, pull on the seat belt
webbing to create retractable slack in
order to pull out the seat belt.

Pretensioner and Force Limiter
Function

When a severe front collision occurs
and the triggering conditions of the
pretensioner are met, the pretensioner
quickly retracts part of the seat belt and
locks it to improve the protection of the
occupant. The force limiter limits the
seat-belt restraint force to the occupant's
body to a certain extent so as to avoid
injury to the occupant due to an excessive
restraint force.

Using Seat Belts

1. Adjust the seat position and seatback
angle (see P52).

2. Adjust the position of the three-point
seat belt.

●Keep the correct sitting posture and
pull out the shoulder belt diagonally
across the entire shoulder without
contacting the neck or falling from the
shoulder. Position the lap belt as low
as possible around the hip.

Page 13

CAUTION

●The shoulder belt should cross
the centre of the shoulder. The
seat belt should be far from the
neck and not liable to slip from
the shoulder; otherwise, it cannot
function well in the event of
emergency braking or accident
and may even cause severe injury.

●The lap belt should be positioned
as low as possible across the hip
to prevent any injury caused by
pressing against the abdomen in
case of an accident.

●The seat belt should be fitted tight
to the body for better protection.

3 . Insert the latch into the buckle until it
clicks, and then pull it back to make sure
it is firmly locked. Do not fasten the belt
with any part of the strap twisted.

4. Unlock the seat belt.

●Press the red unlock button on the
buckle. The latch plate pops out, and

the seat belt automatically retracts. If
the seat belt does not retract smoothly
and automatically, pull it out and
check whether it is twisted.

01

SAFETY

CAUTION

●One seat belt is for one occupant
only. Do not share a seat belt with
another occupant, not even with a
child.

●Avoid travelling with the seatback
leaning too far back. The seat belt
protection performs best when
the seatback is upright.

●Make sure that no seat belt
or itsspring bolt/buckle becomes
pressed by the door; otherwise
the seat belt may be damaged.

●Check the seat belts regularly
for cuts, wear, looseness, and
other abnormalities. If any
problem is found, contact a
BYD authorised dealer or service
provider for confirmation and
handling. Until then, do not use
the corresponding seat.

●Do not remove, disassemble or
modify the seat belts without
permission.

●After an accident, have the
seat belts checked at a BYD
authorised dealer or service
provider. The associated seat
belts and pyrotechnic lap

Page 14

CAUTION

pretensioners* must be replaced
if the pretensioner function has
been activated.

●In the event of a severe accident,
regardless of whether the seat
belt has an apparent damage,
replace it together with the seat
assembly, and thoroughly check
the airbag system.

●Pregnant women need to fasten
the seat belts properly and
position the lapbelt as low as
possible around the hips to avoid
serious injury caused by the
intense lap belt forces against the
abdomen in an accident.

●Do not insert foreign objects such
as coins and clips into the buckle
as they prevent proper connection
between the latch and buckle.

●Use an approved model whenever
you replace the seat belt.

REMINDER

●For normal functioning of the rear
seat belt, ensure that its latch is
inserted into the corresponding
buckle during use. The driver
should remind occupants to wear
seat belts properly.

●The driver should ensure that all
occupants are wearing seat belts
before driving the vehicle.

Seat Belt Reminders

If any occupant has not buckled up
after the vehicle is started, visual and
audible alarms go off and continue until
the corresponding seat belt is properly
fastened.

●Seat belt reminder

If any occupant has not buckled up
after the vehicle is started, visual and
audible alarms go off and continue
until the corresponding seat belt is
properly fastened.

●Display of unfastened belt's seat

The indicator for the seat with
unfastened seat belt lights up.

●Seat belt reminder for front passenger

If the driver or front passenger has
not buckled up after the ignition is
switched on, the seat belt reminder
indicator and the indicator associated
with the corresponding seat light up. If
the seat belt remains unfastened while
driving, in addition to the reminder
indicator, an audible alarm is given to
alert the driver and the occupant.

●Seat belt reminder for rear passengers

With the ignition on, if any rear
passenger does not buckle up, the
seat belt reminder indicator and
the indicator associated with the
corresponding seat light up. While the
vehicle is in motion, when only rear
seats are loaded with occupant(s), who
have not buckled up, only the seat
belt reminder indicator is on and no
audible alarm is given.

●When the driver, the front passenger,
and rear passengers have buckled
up, the seat belt reminder indicator
and all indicators displayed for the
corresponding seats turn off.

REMINDER

●In the event of abnormality
or function failure, contact
a BYD authorised dealer or
service provider. Do not use
the corresponding seat until the
functions return to normal.

Page 15

REMINDER

●When driving, make sure all
occupants have their seat belts
properly fastened to prevent
serious injury or death in
emergency braking or in a
collision.

Airbags

Airbags

●The airbag system is a part of
auxiliary restraint system and also
a supplement to seat belts. When
the vehicle is involved in a serious
collision and the airbag system meets
its deployment conditions, relevant
airbags will rapidly deploy and, along
with seat belts, provide additional
protection for heads and chests of
the occupants, to reduce likelihood of
personal injury or even death.

●Airbags are divided into front and
side types, according to the type of
collision. The front airbags include a
driver airbag and a front passenger
airbag, while side airbags include side
airbags, the far side airbag, and curtain
airbags.

●As an integral part of the vehicle's
passive safety protection system, the
airbag system does not replace seat
belts and must be used in combination
with seat belts to maximise protection.

REMINDER

●Occupants must sit in a
proper position to maximise the
protection provided by seat belts
and the airbag system.

REMINDER

●Do not disassemble or assemble
airbag components without
authorisation.

●If the seatbacks get wet from
rain or splashes, the side airbag
system may not work properly.

01

SAFETY

●Do not use seat covers, as they
restrict airbag deployment on the
corresponding side in an accident.

●Do not place anything between
the side airbag and the occupant.

●Do not apply excessive force to the
side of seats equipped with side
airbags.

●After a collision, even if the
airbag did not deploy, and the
pretensioner did not lock the
seat belt, to ensure the normal
operation of the airbag system,
contact a BYD authorised dealer
or service provider for inspection
as soon as possible.

●If the vehicle is ingressed with
water (wet carpet or vehicle
submerged in water) or damaged
by water, do not start the vehicle
and the low-voltage battery needs
to be disconnected. Otherwise,
the airbags may deploy, resulting
in serious injury or death.

Driver and Front
Passenger Airbags

This vehicle is equipped with driver
and front passenger airbags. When the
airbag system Electronic Control Unit
(ECU ) detects a moderate to severe front
impact, and the triggering conditions are
met, the airbags deploy.

Page 16

Front airbag deployment

●In moderate to severe frontal crashes,
a sensor detects a sharp deceleration
and sends a signal to the ECU to trigger
the front airbags.

●When there is a frontal crash, the seat
belt secures the occupant's lower body
and torso in place. The airbag cushions
and protects the occupant's head and
chest.

●When the severity of the impact
does not reach the airbag deployment
threshold, seat belts provide the main
protection while airbags assist little to
the protection.

●The front airbag deflates immediately
after inflation, without affecting the
driver's vision and ability to operate
the steering wheel or other controls.

●The airbag deploys within a
thousandth of a second.

●A loud noise will be heard when the
airbag deploys. It will not cause injury,
but it may cause tinnitus or temporary
deafness.

●A cloud of dust from the airbag surface
may come off when the airbag deploys.
Although such powder is non-toxic,
individuals with respiratory problem
might experience some temporary
discomfort.

●The front passenger airbag is
controlled by the passenger airbag
switch. See P65 for details.

WARNING

●No accessories, such as telephone
holders, cups, ashtrays, may
be installed on airbag covers
or within their action range.
Otherwise, airbag deployment will
increase the risk of injury in an
accident.

Front Seat Side Airbags

The vehicle is equipped with side airbags
for the left and right front seats (installed
in the outer edges of the front-row
seatbacks and marked with "AIRBAG", as
shown in the illustration).

●When a moderate to severe side
impact is detected during vehicle
travel and the triggering conditions are
met, the side airbag deploys to protect
the occupant's chest.

●Generally, only the airbag on the
impacted side deploys in the event of
a side impact.

●If the impact occurs on the passenger
side, the airbag on the passenger side
deploys even if there is no passenger in
the seat.

●For optimal side airbag protection,
occupants must have their seat belts
fastened and sit upright against the
seatback.

Front far side airbag:

Page 17

●The vehicle you purchased is equipped
with a front far side airbag (installed in
the inner edge of the driver's seatback
and marked with "AIRBAG", as shown
in the illustration).

●When a moderate to severe front or
side impact is detected during vehicle
travel and the triggering conditions are
met, the far side airbag deploys to
protect the heads and shoulders of the
driver and the front passenger.

●If the impact occurs on the front
passenger side, the far side airbag
deploys even if there is no passenger
in the seat.

●For optimum protection from the
driver far side airbag, the occupant
must have the seat belt fastened and
sit in an upright position.

In a vehicle equipped with seat side
airbags:

●Prevent the seatbacks from getting
wet. If they get wet from rain or
splashes, the side airbag system may
not work properly.

●Do not cover or replace seatback
covers on you own. Unsuitable
seatback covers may prevent airbag
deployment in a collision.

Side Curtain Airbags

●The vehicle is equipped with curtain
airbags for the left and right front seats

(installed at the junction of the body
side trim and the ceiling and marked
with "AIRBAG" on the A-pillar, B-pillar,
and C-pillar trims, as shown in the
illustration).

01

SAFETY

●When a moderate to severe side
impact is detected during vehicle
travel and the triggering conditions are
met, the side curtain airbag deploys to
protect the head of the occupant on
the side of collision.

REMINDER

●Generally, only the airbag on the
impacted side deploys in the
event of a side impact.

●For optimum curtain airbag
protection, the occupant must
have their seat belt fastened and
sit in an upright position.

Airbag Triggering
Conditions and
Precautions

Airbag Triggering Conditions

●Airbag triggering conditions: In the
event of a vehicle collision, whether an
airbag will be triggered is decided by
factors such as the amount of collision
energy, accident type, collision angle,
obstacles, and vehicle speed. The
airbag system may be triggered in
special collisions.

Page 18

●The airbag system does not always
work in any accident, and generally it
will not be triggered in the event of
a minor frontal collision, rear collision
or rollover. In this case, the driver
and passengers are protected by their
properly fastened seat belts.

●Determinants of airbag system
triggering: Decision is made by
comparing the deceleration curve,
generated in the collision and obtained
by the ECU, and the set value.
If signals, such as the deceleration
curve generated and measured in the
collision, are lower than the respective
reference values preset in the ECU,
the airbag system will not be triggered
even if the vehicle may have been
seriously deformed in the accident.

●The ECU of the BYD airbag system
has been set up with considerations of
common misuse and road conditions.
However, due to the increasing
changes in causes and forms of vehicle
collisions, for your safety, please
strictly follow this user manual, use the
vehicle correctly, and avoid its misuse.
Otherwise, there is no guarantee that
the airbags will achieve their expected
effect.

Cases When Airbags May Be Deployed

①The vehicle's nose hits the ground
when crossing a deep groove.

②The vehicle hits a bump or kerbstone.

③The vehicle's nose hits the ground
when going down a steep slope.

④One side of the vehicle is hit by another
vehicle.

Cases When Airbags May Not Be
Deployed

①The vehicle hits a concrete column,
tree, or other slim objects.

②The vehicle goes under a truck or
another large vehicle.

③The vehicle tail is hit by another
vehicle.

④The vehicle rolls over.

⑤The vehicle hits a wall or a vehicle at a
side other than the front side.

⑥Parts other than the passenger
compartment receive side impact.

⑦The lateral side of the vehicle is hit
diagonally.

⑧The lateral side of the vehicle hits a
columnar object.

Page 19

WARNING

●Airbags are designed for
specific models. Any change to
suspension, tyre size, bumpers,
chassis and factory-equipped
devices may adversely affect the
airbag system. Users must not use
any parts of the airbag system
on other car models; doing so
may lead to failure of the airbag
system.

●Drivers should maintain a distance
of at least 10 in (25 cm) between
their chest and the steering
wheel, in order for the system to
provide the most effective driver
protection.

●Fasten your seat belt and sit
properly while the vehicle is
in motion. If the seat belt is
not fastened, if the occupant
is leaning forward or sitting
improperly, airbag deployment
can increase the risk of injury.

●Do not paste stickers, cover or
decorate the hub cover of the
steering wheel, the right side
surface of the dashboard or the
surface of A, B, and C-pillar trims.
Clean these surfaces with a dry or
damp cloth, without applying too
much pressure.

WARNING

●A child is not to be seated in
the front passenger seat, nor
are they to ride sitting on a
front passenger's lap, to prevent
serious injury or even casualty
caused by airbag deployment.

01

SAFETY

●Side airbags and side curtain
airbags deploy quickly with high
impact forces. Occupants must
not lean against the doors of
vehicles equipped with these
airbags while these vehicles are
in motion. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury or even
death.

●Do not place any other
accessories or items within the
action range of side curtain
airbags, including the windscreen,
side door glass, A-pillar trim,
ceiling, B-pillar trim, C-pillar trim
and auxiliary handles. When
the side curtain airbag deploys,
the accessories or items will
be thrown by the impact force
from the side air curtain airbag,
or the side curtain airbag may
not deploy normally, resulting in
serious injury or even death.

●When transferring car ownership,
make sure to pass on all of the
vehicle's documents and keep the
new ownership informed of airbag
conditions.

●Do not modify or replace seats
or trims of the seats with
side airbags. These changes
may prevent normal deployment
of side airbags, and thereby
cause airbag system failure or
unintended deployment of side
airbags, resulting in serious injury
or death.

Page 20

WARNING

●Do not disassemble or repair the
A-pillar trim, ceiling, B-pillar trim
or C-pillar trim, which contain side
curtain airbags. These changes
can cause failure of the airbag
system or accidental deployment
of curtain airbags, which may
cause serious injury or even
death.

●Do not change any component
of the airbag system, including
any corresponding label. It is
recommended that any operation
done to the airbags be performed
by a BYD authorised dealer or
service provider.

accident protection. Once the
airbag is triggered or damaged,
the airbag system must be
replaced.

●Follow safety regulations and
procedures related to the
scrapping of parts of the vehicle
or its airbag system.

●The airbag system has strong anti-
interference and anti-disturbance
resistance to electromagnetic
fields around it. However, to
avoid accidents, do not use the
vehicle in an electromagnetic
environment that violates
national regulations.

●The airbag system of this vehicle
is designed with full consideration
of domestic common misuses
and road conditions. However, in
order to avoid accidents, do not
have the bottom of the vehicle
impacted or drive roughly in harsh
road conditions.

been fully verified to seamlessly

WARNING

match the vehicle's original
wiring harness system. Any wiring
harness modification or alteration
may cause the airbags to
deploy mistakenly under normal
conditions or fail to deploy in the
event of a collision.

It is recommended that you contact
a BYD authorised dealer or service
provider immediately if any of the
following situations occurs.

●Any airbag has deployed.

●The airbag fault warning light

 comes on abnormally on the
instrument cluster.

●There is a collision with the front of the

the airbags do not deploy.

●The airbag cover (highlighted area
shown) has been scratched, cracked or
otherwise damaged.

Page 21

●Airbags need to be removed,
disassembled, installed or repaired.

●An impact to a vehicle door
(highlighted area shown) in an
accident is not adequate to cause the
airbag to deploy.

●The surface of the seat with a
side airbag is scratched, cracked, or
damaged similarly.

●Decorative (liner) parts at A-pillar with
built-in curtain airbags, roof beam
and C-pillar are scratched, cracked, or

Data Collection and
Processing

Data Collection and
Processing

●This section provides you with
some important information on how
personal data is collected and
processed when you use a BYD vehicle.

●For a more detailed overview on data
processing, data protection and data
subject rights, please read the current
version of the privacy policy for the
vehicle available at the infotainment

system 

 (Vehicle Settings →

permissible or you have consented
to it. In addition to the vehicle
manufacturer, third-party agencies
with professional equipment (such as
government agencies) can also read
the EDR data if they have access
to the vehicle EDR and equipment
(for example, they can read the data
of SRS control unit to clarify the
accident).

Vehicle Data Processing

●Data is collected when the vehicle
is used, such as data collected or
transmitted by vehicle sensors or
control units, which is necessary for
the safe functioning of your vehicle.

●In some cases, the data is used
to support driving (driver assistance
systems) or to enable a specific
comfort or infotainment function.

●Personal data that is collected and
processed mainly include in-vehicle
data, remote-services-related data,
and other data, as further specified
below.

In-vehicle data

Operation data

Page 28

●When the vehicle is used, various
vehicle status data (e.g., speed,
battery level, and braking system) or
environment (e.g., distance sensors
and temperature) data is collected and
processed.

●This data is not usually stored,
but there are control units, sensors
or other components installed in
the vehicle that record such data,
for example, to record maintenance
requirements, error messages, or other
information.

●The in-vehicle data will only be
stored in the equipment in the
vehicle but can be read out via
the legally required OBD ("On Board
Diagnostics") interface, for example,
by BYD authorised dealer or service
provider or other third parties.

●In case this access takes place
during vehicle maintenance, the
information can also be transmitted to
BYD engineers for quality assurance,
product defect reports, or customer
claim verification.

Remote-services-related data

Remote supporting svrvices

●These include remote supporting
services such as remote diagnosis
and over-the-air (OTA) updates
and upgrades for security and
safety purposes (subject to owner's
approval).

●These services serve the
following purposes: service provision
(remote support/diagnostics), product
development, and security/public
safety.

of information and access, to
rectification, erasure of personal data

Page 30

("right to be forgotten") and the
right to object to the processing of
personal data or to restrict it (or to
withdraw consent given earlier, as
well as the right to data portability).

●These rights may be limited in some
cases. For example, if we can show
that we have a legal obligation to
process your data, or if providing the
information to you would disclose
personal data about another person,
or if we are legally prevented from
disclosing that information.

●In some cases, this may mean that

High-voltage battery fault
warning light

EPB indicator

Warning Light/Indicator Description

Smart key warning light

●If the key is not in the vehicle when
you press the START/STOP button,
this warning light comes on for a
few seconds, a beep sounds, and the
message "No key detected, please
confirm if the key is in the vehicle" is
displayed on the instrument cluster.

●If you press the START/STOP button
while an electronic smart key matching
the model is in the vehicle, this
warning light does not light up. The
vehicle can now be powered on.

●If the warning light flashes after
you press the START/STOP button, it
indicates low battery of the key.

●If the key is not in the vehicle, the
instrument cluster prompts "No key
detected, please confirm if the key is
in the vehicle".

 ABS fault warning light

●This warning light comes on when the
ignition is on. If the anti-lock braking
system (ABS) is working properly, the
light goes out in a few seconds.
Thereafter, if the system fails, the
light lights up again until the fault is
cleared.

●When the ABS fault warning light is on
(with the parking system fault warning
light off), the braking system continues
to operate whereas the ABS does not.

Powertrain fault warning light

Airbag fault warning light

●When the ABS fault warning light is
on (with the parking system fault
warning light off), since the ABS system
does not operate, the wheels will be
locked in case of emergency braking or
braking on a slippery road.

●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 authorised
dealer or service provider for vehicle
inspection as soon as possible.

●This warning light does not come on
or is steady on when the ignition is
on.

●This warning light turns on during
driving.

REMINDER

●A warning light that lights up
briefly during operation does not
indicate a problem.

●If the parking brake system
warning light and the ABS warning
lights light on at the same time,
stop the vehicle safely right away
and contact a BYD authorised
dealer or service provider. In this
case, if brakes are applied, the
ABS will not work and the vehicle
will become extremely unstable.

●If both ABS indicator and the braking
system indicator come on and the
electronic parking brake (EPB) is fully
released, the braking force distribution
system of front and rear wheels has
also failed.

Page 35

Tyre pressure fault warning light

●This warning light comes on when the
ignition is on. It turns off in a few
seconds if the tyre pressure monitoring
system is working properly. If the
system fails, this warning light turns on
again.

●When the tyre pressure fault warning
light comes on or flashes, the message
"Please check TPMS" is displayed
on the instrument cluster, and the
tyre pressure is displayed as "---", it
indicates that the tyre pressure system
is faulty.

●When the tyre pressure value displays
"Abnormal Signal", it indicates that the
tyre pressure signal at the location of
the vehicle may be disturbed or the
tyre pressure monitoring module is
damaged.

●When the tyre pressure fault warning
light is solid on and one or more
values turn yellow on the tyre
pressure screen on the instrument
cluster, the corresponding tyre is in
under-pressure condition. When the
temperature value of one or more tyres
turns yellow, it indicates that the tyre
temperature is too high.

In the event of any of the situations
above, it is recommended to contact a
BYD authorised dealer or service provider
for inspection as soon as possible.

ESC fault warning light

●This warning light turns on after the
vehicle is started. If electronic stability
control (ESC) functions properly, the
light goes out in a few seconds. If ESC
is faulty, this light comes on again until
the fault is cleared.

●If the ESC warning light flashes
temporarily while the vehicle is in
motion, it indicates the ESC system is
working.

●When the ESC warning light turns on
(with the ABS fault warning light and
the parking system fault warning light
off), the ESC fails, but the ABS and
the braking system continue to operate
normally.

02

●When the ESC warning light turns on
(with the ABS fault warning light and
the parking system fault warning light
off), the ESC system does not work.
This means the vehicle is extremely
unstable at sharp turns or when the
driver steers away from obstacles
ahead.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

●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 authorised
dealer or service provider for vehicle
inspection as soon as possible.

●This warning light remains off (self-
check not performed) after the
vehicle is started.

●This warning light is steady on while
driving.

REMINDER

●A warning light that lights up
briefly during operation does not
indicate a problem.

●If the ESC warning light remains
on while the warning lights for the
ABS and the braking system are
on, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place and contact a
BYD authorised dealer or service
provider. This is because braking
at this time can render the vehicle
extremely unstable, and the anti-

Page 36

REMINDER

lock braking system does not
work at all.

ESC OFF warning light

●When the ESC OFF switch is pressed,
this warning light should remain
steady on and the ESC system will
not operate. When the ESC OFF switch
is pressed again, this warning light
should turn off and the ESC system
resumes its normal operation.

REMINDER

●While the ESC OFF warning light
is on, the driver must stay alert
and keep driving at a lower
speed when making a sharp turn
and when avoiding an obstacle
which appears suddenly, because
braking at this time can render
the vehicle unstable, given the
malfunction of ESC system.

Driving power limit warning light

●When the level of the high-voltage
battery is low and the motor power is
limited, this indicator will light up, and
it is recommended to contact a BYD
authorised dealer or service provider
immediately.

Main alarm indicator

●If this indicator goes on, check the fault
prompt or warning on the instrument
cluster.

CPD indicator/warning light*

●CPD indicator*: If child presence
detection (CPD) is turned off, the
indicator is solid on, and the OFF
reminder lasts for five seconds. Tap ON
or Delay. The indicator turns off and
CPD is enabled.

●CPD warning light*: If the CPD fault
reminder lasts for five seconds and
the indicator is solid on, it indicates
that the CPD system fails. It is
recommended to bring the vehicle to
a BYD authorised dealer or service
provider for inspection.

Driver attention warning light*

●Driver attention warning (DAW) system
evaluates the driver's degree of fatigue
by the vehicle operation status. The
driver would be reminded according to
the evaluation results to ensure driving
safety.

Seat belt reminder indicator

●With the ignition switched on, if any
passenger on the front seats or rear
seats has not buckled up, the seat belt
reminder indicator lights up. It remains
on until the seat belt is fastened.

Airbag fault warning light

●With the ignition switched on, this
warning light turns on and then
goes off in a few seconds if the
airbag system is working properly. This
warning light is used to monitor the
airbag ECU, collision sensors, inflation
device, warning lights, connections,
and power supply.

●If any of the following cases occurs, it
means there is a fault in components
monitored by the warning light system.

always resting well on the seatback,
and adjusting the seat belt to the right
position.

●Secure your luggage appropriately to
prevent it from skidding or moving.
Luggage in the vehicle should not be
higher than seatbacks.

Page 52

WARNING

●Sitting on a folded seatback,
in the boot, or on cargo
is prohibited. Improper seating
position or improperly fastened
seat belts can result in personal
injury in case of emergency
braking or a collision.

●Do not place any items under
the seats. The driver may lose
control of the vehicle because
items placed there affect the
seat locking mechanism or
accidentally push up the seat
position adjustment lever, causing
the seat to move suddenly.

●When adjusting the seat, do not
place your hand under the seat
or near its operating parts, to
prevent being crushed.

●After adjusting the seatback, lean
back to confirm the seatback
has been locked. Seatbacks that
are not fully locked can cause
personal injuries in an accident or
emergency braking.

●Do not put the seatback down
while driving or riding in the
vehicle. This makes the shoulder
strap of the seat belt not properly
attached to the body. As a result,
you and your passengers could hit
the strap in an accident, causing
serious injury to the neck or other
parts; or you and your passenger
may slip out of the waist belt,
resulting in other serious injuries.

●Do not adjust the driver's seat
while the vehicle is in motion, as
unpredictable seat movement can
cause the loss of vehicle control at
this time.

●Do not drive the vehicle until
occupants are seated properly.

REMINDER

●Adjust the seat position before
fastening seat belts.

●While adjusting a seat, do not let
it hit against any passenger or the

Charging/
Discharging
Instructions

Charging Instructions

●Charging equipment uses high-voltage
current. Minors are prohibited to
charge the vehicle or touch the
charging equipment. Keep them away
from the vehicle during charging.

●Charging may affect medical or
implanted electronic devices. Consult
the device manufacturer before
charging.

●Charge the vehicle in a relatively safe
environment, and avoid charging in
damp areas, or areas with fire or heat
sources.

●Protect the charging equipment
against water contact on rainy days.

●Before charging:

●Ensure that power supply
equipment, charging connector,
charge port, and charging connection
device are free of defects, such as
cable wear, rusted ports, cracked
casings, or foreign objects in the
ports.

●Do not charge the vehicle when the
charging connector's or port's plug,
socket, or metal terminals are loose
or damaged by rust or corrosion.

●When the charging connector, port,
power plug, or socket is visibly
stained or damp, wipe them with a
dry and clean cloth to ensure the
connection is dry and clean.

●Use charging equipment that complies
with local standards.

●To avoid charging failure or fire, do
not modify, disassemble, or repair
the charging equipment and related
ports. Contact a BYD authorized
dealer or service provider for
handling if there is a fault.

●Do not use charging equipment that
does not meet safety standards or
has potential safety hazards. Do not
allow children to use the charging
equipment and keep animals away
from the vehicle while charging.

●Ensure that your hands are properly
dry before charging.

●If anything abnormal is found in
the vehicle or charging equipment
during charging, stop immediately and
contact a BYD authorised dealer or
service provider.

●Always observe the following charging
precautions to prevent damage to the
vehicle:

●Do not shake the charging connector,
otherwise the vehicle charge port
may be damaged.

●Whenever possible, do not charge
the vehicle in a thunderstorm, under
risk of lightning strikes.

●Do not open the bonnet for
maintenance while charging.

●After charging, do not disconnect the
charging equipment with wet hands or
while standing on any wet surface.

●Before driving, ensure that the
charging equipment is disconnected
from the charge port.

Compatibility of Vehicle and Charging
Infrastructure

●The signs are located on the vehicle's
charging socket, components of the
local charging infrastructure (charging
stations and sockets) and on the
charging cable.

Page 73

●The signs refer to standardised
charging systems in accordance with
DIN EN 62196.

Charging Precautions

●When the SOC bar on the instrument
cluster turns red, the high-voltage
battery is about to be exhausted.
Please charge it immediately,
otherwise the service life of the high-
voltage battery will be reduced.

●Mode 2 charging means charging
with an AC charging connector that
complies with local standards. Use
a dedicated AC line and power
outlet that meets local standards. The
purpose of using a dedicated line is to
protect the line from tripping due to
line breakage or high-power charging
of the high-voltage battery. Using a line
other than dedicated lines may affect
proper operation of other devices on
the line.

●Avoiding damage to the charging
equipment (precautions for charging
equipment):

●Prevent the charging equipment
from suffering any mechanical
impact.

●Do not place the charging equipment
near heaters or other heat sources.

●Never drop the equipment or move
it by pulling it directly by the
cable. Take caution when moving the
equipment.

●Inserting the charging connector
before charging:

●Make sure that the charging
connector and charge port are
free of foreign objects, and that
the protective cap of the charging
connector terminal does not get
loose or deformed.

●Hold the charging connector, align
the connector with the charge port
and push it in, making sure that they
are properly connected.

●When charging is complete:

●Stop charging first and make sure the
charge port is unlocked.

●Pull the charging connector.

04

●Do not force the charging connector
out while the charge port is locked,
otherwise the charge port may be
damaged.

USING AND DRIVING

●Precautions:

●The A/C can be used as normal
while the vehicle is being charged.
To ensure the charging power, it is
recommended not to turn on the A/C.

●It is recommended that no one stay
in the vehicle during charging.

●It is recommended to park the
vehicle in a ventilated area during
charging.

●The vehicle system automatically
stops charging when the high-voltage
battery is fully charged. The charge
port is equipped with an electronic
lock. Unlock it before unplugging the
charging equipment.

●To stop DC charging, turn off
the charger before disconnecting
the charging connector. In Mode
2 charging, remove the charging
connector and then the power plug.

●When charging is complete and the
charging connector is unplugged,
make sure that the charge port's cap
and door are closed, otherwise water

Page 74

or foreign materials may enter the port
and affect its normal use.

●Before starting the vehicle, ensure
that the charging equipment is
disconnected. The locking mechanism
can damage the charging equipment
and the vehicle if the vehicle is
started with the charging connector
incorrectly inserted.

●Battery temperatures that are too low
or too high can compromise vehicle
charging performance.

●The temperature control system can
improve low-temperature charging
capacity of the battery. Due to output
capacity limitations of charging piles,
the charging time is extended, the
heating time becomes longer and
the power consumption of heating
is increased. These are normal
phenomenons.

●For faster low-temperature DC
charging, charging from low SOC
is recommended because, due to
the low battery temperature, the
charging current is small for vehicles
with high SOC in low-temperature
environments.

●To improve your experience, it is
recommended to charge the vehicle
immediately after using it, as the
battery is relatively hot and has
better charging performance.

●Turning A/C on during low-
temperature charging affects the
performance of battery temperature
control system and charging
performance.

●It is normal that when the battery
temperature control system is working
during charging, the charging power
displayed on the instrument cluster
may fluctuate temporarily.

●Before charging is complete, battery
equalisation is activated for longer

battery life and thus the charging time
may be longer.

●In case of high-temperature high-
power DC charging, the performance
of battery temperature control system
may be affected by the A/C in
the passenger compartment, and the
charging performance may degrade,
resulting in an extended charging time.
To ensure charging efficiency, it is
recommended to keep the A/C off
during charging.

Battery

High-Voltage Battery

●The vehicle is powered by a high-
voltage battery that can be charged
and discharged repeatedly. The high-
voltage battery is charged by an
external power source or through
energy recovery when the vehicle
brakes or coasts.

●The high-voltage battery is located
under the vehicle floor, so be careful
to avoid bumping when driving on
bumpy or uneven roads.

●Due to the chemical characteristics of
the battery itself, the battery capacity
of vehicles that have been used for a
period of time has natural degradation,
and their pure electric mileage will
reduce. It is recommended to go to
a BYD authorized dealer or service
provider for regular vehicle checks.
The store-side inspection can confirm
whether the reduction of pure electric
mileage is normal.

Battery Properties

●It is normal that vehicle performance
is affected by battery electrochemical
properties and self-protection and
varies to some extent in the following
conditions:

●When SOC is high, the regenerative
braking performance may decline.

●The vehicle switches to trickle
charging mode at high SOC. If the
charging time is prolonged, the
estimated remaining charging time
displayed on the instrument cluster
may not be accurate.

●When SOC is low, the acceleration
performance may decline.

●When the high-voltage battery is
low, V2L cannot be used as normal.
Charge the battery promptly.

●At high or low temperatures, it
is normal that the charging and
discharging capabilities of the high-
voltage battery decline, and the
charging time is prolonged. Power
performance may also decline under
extreme temperatures.

●When charging in low temperatures,
the temperature control system
can significantly improve charging
capability. For details, see Charging
Precautions.

●When the vehicle is used at
low temperatures, the battery's
temperature control system will start
heating the battery as appropriate
to ensure the driving power
and discharging performance and
improve your driving experience.
When the vehicle is driven over short
distances, heating may be ineffective,
which increases power consumption
and decreases driving range.

●When the high-voltage battery is
normal, the driving range of the vehicle
varies with the following factors:

●Driving habit: For example, the
range in frequent acceleration or
deceleration is shorter than that at
constant speeds, and the range is
shorter when driving at high speeds
than when at low speeds.

Page 87

●Road conditions: For example, the
range driven in rough conditions or
on long slopes is shorter than that
in normal conditions and on even
roads.

●Temperature: The driving range at
low temperatures is shorter than that
at ambient temperatures.

●Use of electric equipment: For
example, the range driven with A/C
on is shorter than that with A/C off.

●Usable capacity of the high-voltage
battery is lower in cold weather
and reduces as the temperature
decreases. If the vehicle with high
battery level is charged at low
temperatures, the SOC may quickly
jump to 100%.

Battery Usage Tips

●It is recommended to use the vehicle at
temperatures between 14℉ (-10℃) to
104℉ (40℃). When SOC is low, timely
charge the vehicle to ensure enough
driving range and good acceleration
performance.

●To ensure long term performance,
avoid driving in extreme temperatures
for over 24 hours.

●In low ambient temperatures, if the
vehicle must be stored for a long time,
it can be placed in an underground
garage or other warmer area to reduce
loss of battery heat, maintaining
vehicle performance.

●Frequent and sudden acceleration or
deceleration should be avoided. Drive
the vehicle on flat and dry roads.
When necessary, turn off high-power
equipment such as A/C or adjust
the A/C temperature to reduce power
consumption of such devices and
increase the driving range.

●Low-power charging contributes to the
service life of high-voltage battery.

●When the vehicle is used for the
first time or after a long idle period,
the SOC displayed on the instrument
cluster may not be correct. It is
recommended to fully charge the
vehicle first.

●It is recommended to fully charge the
vehicle at a regular basis (at least once
a week), and fully charge it from low
battery (SOC <10%) once every three to
six months.

●Under extreme working conditions
(such as frequent sudden acceleration/
deceleration) that cause battery
overheating, if the temperature of
high-voltage battery is excessively
high, it is normal for discharging
capability to decrease gradually. If
the battery temperature keeps rising,
the fault warning light lights up on
the instrument cluster. In that case,
it is recommended to contact a BYD
authorised dealer or service provider.

04

USING AND DRIVING

●When the battery SOC increases
or decreases abnormally, it is
recommended to contact a BYD
authorised dealer or service provider
for inspection.

WARNING

In the event of an emergency or
accident, be aware of the following
warnings:

●To avoid personal injury, do not
touch the high-voltage battery
directly.

●It is recommended to contact a
BYD authorised dealer or service
provider as soon as possible.

●If the high-voltage battery is
damaged and leaking fluid, avoid
any contact with the fluid.

Page 88

WARNING

If it comes into contact with
skin or eyes, rinse immediately
with plenty of water, and seek
immediate medical attention.

●If the vehicle catches fire,
use dedicated fire extinguishers
instead of water-based fire
extinguishers.

CAUTION

●To ensure safety of the high-
voltage battery, stop the vehicle
away from flammable and
explosive materials, ignition
sources and various hazardous
chemicals.

●The available battery capacity
decreases as the vehicle is used
over time.

●Prolonged exposure to heat
sources and direct sunlight reduce
the service life of the high-voltage
battery.

●When the vehicle is not to
be operated for an extended
period (over seven days), it is
recommended that the battery
SOC should be kept at 40%-60%
to prolong its service life. When
the vehicle is not to be operated
for over three months, the high-
voltage battery must be fully
charged and then discharged to
40%-60% every three months.
Otherwise, over-discharge may
lead to battery performance
degradation or even damage. Any
vehicle fault or damage so caused
will not be warranted.

●If there is a collision with
the high-voltage battery, contact
a BYD authorised dealer or

CAUTION

service provider immediately for
maintenance.

Recycling the High-voltage Battery

How to scrap an NEV:

1. Take the vehicle to the BYD recycling
service provider that will assess the
residual value of the high-voltage
battery.

2. Take the assessed vehicle to the
recycling organisation to disassemble
the high-voltage battery.

3. Take the battery to the recycling
service provider which will buy back
the battery.

WARNING

●New energy car owners have
the responsibility and obligation
to hand over waste high-voltage
batteries to the recycling service
outlet. Anyone who hands over a
used high-voltage battery to any
other organisation or individual,
or removes/disassembles a
high-voltage battery without
authorisation, shall be liable for
any environmental pollution or
safety incident so caused.

Low-Voltage Battery

It is positioned under the rear seat, with
its access cover near the ankle of the
rear middle passenger. With the access
cover open, the low-voltage battery's
negative terminal and negative GND
wiring harness are visible.

●To prevent the SOC of the low-
voltage battery becoming too low,
the intelligent charging function

Page 89

is triggered automatically when
conditions are met (ignition off, high-
voltage battery discharging allowed,
and low-voltage battery level below
the design value).

●If the battery voltage is too low, it may
not be able to power on the vehicle. In
that case, contact the BYD authorised
dealer or service provider promptly.

●After the vehicle has been in use
for 3-5 years, it is recommended
that the staff conducting routine
maintenance should conduct checks
on the low-voltage battery. These
include checking the battery terminal
for corrosion and whether the battery
and terminals are firmly attached.

WARNING

●The low-voltage battery contains
a corrosive solution. To prevent
damage to the battery or injury,
do not disassemble or repair the
battery without authorisation.

●Do not disassemble or dismantle
the low-voltage battery. Any
organisation or individual to do
so shall bear the responsibility
for environmental pollution or
accidents.

●Since the low-voltage battery
may produce combustible and
explosive hydrogen gas, use tools
in such a manner that the battery
would not produce sparks. Do not
smoke or use open flames near
the battery.

●Avoid electrolyte contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. In case
that happens, use baking soda
water to clean the skin, and
plenty of water to rinse the eyes,
and immediately seek medical
attention.

WARNING

●In case of mouth contact with
the electrolyte, seek medical
attention immediately.

●Keep children away from the low-
voltage battery.

CAUTION

●When checking the low-voltage
battery, remove the ground cable
from the negative terminal (-) first,
and reconnect it last.

04

●When cleaning the low-voltage
battery, make sure to avoid any
fluid getting inside.

USING AND DRIVING

REMINDER

●It is normal that intelligent
charging with the ignition off
produces a noise similar to when
the ignition is switched on.

●Do not carry out maintenance
work during intelligent charging.

●When leaving the vehicle, make
sure the doors are closed and all
electrical equipment is turned off.

●If the vehicle needs to be parked
for a long time, please disconnect
the negative terminal wire.

Waking up the Vehicle from Low SOC

Wake-up by the driver's door
microswitch:

●The low-voltage battery features the
dormant/wake-up function. The low-
voltage battery may have entered a
dormant state after long-term parking.
In that case, the vehicle cannot be
located or unlocked with the smart
key. To wake up the vehicle, hold the

Page 90

smart key close to the driver's door
and press the microswitch on the door
for 3 seconds. When unlocked, the
vehicle can be used as normal. If these
actions cannot wake up the vehicle,
the low-voltage battery may have been
exhausted.

Wake-up by jump starting*:

If the vehicle cannot be waked up by
using the microswitch, use a 12V power
supply and two specially designed cables
to jump start the vehicle.

●Positive terminal for jump starting:
inside the under-bonnet power
distribution box (PDB)

●Negative terminal for jump starting:
bonnet latch

WARNING

●Never jump start another vehicle.
This may damage the low-voltage
battery.

WARNING

●If the low-voltage battery SOC is
too low or the battery fails, jump
starting may be required. Please
carefully read and strictly follow
the jump starting instructions in
this manual.

●The low-voltage battery contains
an intelligent control module.
To prevent battery damage,
do not disassemble or damage
this battery without permission,
except in an emergency.

●Disconnect the negative terminal
of the low-voltage battery before
performing parts replacement and
vehicle repairs.

●Do not clean the low-voltage
battery with water, but wipe it
with a cloth instead.

CAUTION

●It is recommended that the
jump starting be done under the
guidance of professionals, as the
space for operating the under-
bonnet PDB is limited and circuit-
based risks are present.

Usage Precautions

Break-in Period

●If the powertrain is hard to start or
frequently stops turning, inspect the
vehicle immediately.

●If the powertrain makes any abnormal
sounds, stop the vehicle for inspection.

●If the powertrain has severe coolant
and oil leakage, stop the vehicle for
inspection.

Page 91

●The powertrain needs break-in. This
should preferably be done within
the first 1,243 miles (2,000 km)
in economic mode. Steady driving
instead of high-speed driving is
recommended. The following practices
effectively prolong vehicle service life:

●Avoid flooring the accelerator pedal
when starting and driving the vehicle.

●Avoid speeding.

●Do not maintain a high or low speed
for too long.

Trailer Towing

●This vehicle is designed to carry
passengers. Do not overload it or use
it to tow other vehicles.

●Towing other vehicles has an adverse
impact on the maneuverability,
performance, braking, endurance,
driving economy, power consumption,
and other aspects of performance of
the vehicle itself.

●Do not disassemble the rear bumper
beam or add any boot-mounted bike
rack without authorisation. Issues so
caused are not covered by warranty.

●If you want to install a trunk-mount
bike rack, go to a BYD authorised
dealer or service provider to consult
whether this function is supported on
your model. Upgrade the hardware
there if it is practicable.

●The bike rack can only load no
more than three bikes, and only one
passenger is allowed in the rear seat
when the vehicle is carrying a bike.
For the vehicle to carry bike(s), the
technically permissible laden mass
may be exceeded by not more than 75
kg. For driving safety, avoid speeding
and overloading.

●This vehicle is designed to carry bike
rack or similar luggage rack. Do not
tow a caravan or any other trailers.

●Driving safety and comfort totally
depend on equipment usage and good
driving habits.

●BYD does not provide free warranty for
the damage or faults resulted from the
trailer towing.

Driving Safety
Precautions

No Drunk Driving

04

Even a small amount of alcohol can
reduce a driver's ability to respond to
traffic condition changes. The higher the
level of alcohol, the less responsive the
driver will be. Therefore, never drive
while under the influence.

USING AND DRIVING

No Speeding

Speeding is a major cause of fatal
accidents. Faster speeds generally entail
higher risk. Therefore, maintain a speed
safe for the road traffic conditions.

Keeping the Vehicle Safe for Driving

Tyre bursts and mechanical faults are
extremely dangerous. To reduce the
possibility of such faults, frequently check
the vehicle's condition, and regularly
complete the specified inspections.

CAUTION

●Any driver must possess a driver's
license before driving a vehicle.

●Do not drive when fatigued.

●Always follow the traffic
regulations when driving a
vehicle.

Page 92

CAUTION

●When driving, drivers must stay
focused and not carry out
any unrelated activity, such as
answering calls or adjusting
buttons.

Vehicle Use Suggestions

Suggestions for prolonging the battery
usage:

●When the vehicle is not to be
operated for an extended period (over
seven days), it is recommended that
the battery SOC should be kept at
40%-60%, or it will reduce high-voltage
battery service life.

●When the vehicle is not to be operated
for over three months, the high-voltage
battery must be fully charged and then
discharged to 40%-60%. Otherwise,
over-discharge may lead to battery
performance degradation or even
damage. Any vehicle fault or damage
so caused will not be warranted.

●During operation of the vehicle, if
the instrument cluster displays the
pure electric driving mileage as 0, it
indicates the battery SOC is low. In this
case, charge the high-voltage battery
in time and avoid operating the vehicle
with low SOC for a long time.

●For optimal battery performance,
use a charging connector to fully
charge the battery regularly, and the
recommended frequency is once a
week at least.

●To maintain long-term performance,
avoid continuously exposing the
vehicle to an environment with a
temperature above 140℉ (60°C) or
below -22℉ (-30°C) for over 24 hours.

●If the tray dented inward or there is
scarification under the battery package

tray, it is suggested to check at a BYD
authorised dealer or service provider.

●During operation of the vehicle,
avoid repeated rapid acceleration or
deceleration whenever possible.

●During operation of the vehicle, avoid
operating the vehicle continuously
for a long time whenever possible;
otherwise, the excessively high
battery temperature will affect vehicle
performance.

●If the instrument cluster mulfunctions
when driving, it is recommended to
contact a BYD authorised dealer or
service provider for inspection as soon
as possible.

●When the high-voltage battery
temperature is high, the vehicle
performance will be limited to some
extent. In this case, stop the vehicle
and wait until the temperature drops
before operating.

REMINDER

●If the meter drops to 0, the
battery must be recharged. If it is
not recharged within seven days,
the battery may suffer permanent
damage. Such damage is not
covered by BYD warranty terms.

●Driving range depends on many
factors, such as the vehicle's
available power, vehicle age
(current battery life), weather,
temperature, road conditions and
driving habits. Compared with
under normal temperatures, the
pure-electric driving range is
somewhat reduced and power
performance will also be affected
in low or high temperature
environments.

Page 93

Carrying Luggage

●This vehicle has multiple
storage spaces. Overloading or
improper accommodation may affect
maneuverability, stability and normal
operation of the vehicle, and reduce its
safety.

●Make sure the vehicle's total load
(vehicle + passengers + luggage)
remains within the specified maximum
weight.

WARNING

●Overloading and improper
accommodation may affect
vehicle maneuverability and
stability, which may lead to
collisions.

●Observe the maximum weight
limit and other loading guidelines
in this manual.

●Do not carry highly magnetic
items, as they might interfere in
the vehicle's normal operations.

Carrying Items in the Passenger Area

●All items that could be thrown inwards
and thus injure occupants in case of a
collision must be properly placed and
secured.

●Ensure that items placed on the floor
behind the front seat do not roll under
the seat, so as to avoid affecting the
driver's ability to control the pedals or
normal seat adjustment. Do not stack
items to a height taller than the front
seats' seatbacks.

●Make sure the glove box is always
closed while driving. If the glove box
is open, the occupant's knees may be
injured in case of a collision or an
emergency stop.

REMINDER

●Do not pile up toys in the vehicle,
as this may affect driving safety
and present a hazard to the
children, especially in case of
emergency braking or collision.

Loading the Boot

●Place luggage evenly in the boot. Put
heavier items at the bottom and as far
in as possible.

●Secure items with ropes or straps so
that they will not move while driving.
Do not stack items to a height taller
than seatbacks.

04

USING AND DRIVING

●For boot strapping or fastening
supplies, contact a BYD authorised
dealer or service provider.

Wading into Water

●Check water depth before driving into
flooded areas, it must not exceed the
vehicle's lower edge.

●If crossing a flooded area is necessary,
turn off the air conditioner and keep
acceleration steady to slowly cross
over.

●Never stop, back up, or turn off the
vehicle in flooded areas.

Page 94

●After crossing over, press the brake
pedal several times to dry out the disks
and recover brake performance.

●Be careful when driving through deep
water, as brakes may get wet.

WARNING

●The presence of water, mud, or
silt in the braking system may
delay brake response and extend
braking distance.

●Drive carefully and avoid
emergency braking after crossing
flooded areas.

●The motor will be seriously
damaged if it is submerged when
crossing a flooded area. 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.

Influence 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 significantly affects 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.

●Be sure to find a sheltered place
when charging the vehicle on rainy
days. If the vehicle is immersed in
water or wades through water over
the doorsill, which may cause water
ingress in high-voltage components,
promptly contact a BYD authorised
dealer or service provider for testing
and troubleshooting. Do not drive on
roads where the depth of accumulated
water exceeds half of the tyres.

Fire Prevention

To prevent vehicle fires in a timely and
effective manner, pay attention to the
following during use of the vehicle:

●No flammable or explosive items are
allowed in the vehicle.

●Temperatures may reach 140℉ -
158℉ (60°C - 70°C) in a vehicle
exposed to direct sunlight in
summer. Therefore, flammable and
explosive items, such as lighters,
cleaning agents and perfumes,
stored in the vehicle can cause a fire
or even explosion easily.

●Make sure cigarettes are thoroughly
put out.

●Smoking is harmful to your health
and may cause a fire. Cigarettes that
not thoroughly put out may cause a
fire.

●It is recommended to go to a BYD
authorised dealer or service provider
for regular vehicle checks.

●Check vehicle wiring, connections,
wiring harnesses, insulation, and
fixed position regularly. Deal with
identified problems promptly.

●Do not refit vehicle wiring or add any
unauthorised electrical appliance.

Page 95

●The addition of extra electrical
appliances, such as high-power
audio systems, and light fixtures,
may overload and overheat the
wiring harness and increase the risk
of fire.

●Improper refitting of electrical
appliances or wiring may cause
a fire due to contact resistance
and abnormal heating. Fuses or
other replacement wires in excess of
relevant electrical rating are strictly
prohibited.

●Select a proper parking location.

●When parking the vehicle, try to
avoid sun exposure.

●Keep a lightweight fire extinguisher in
the vehicle and know how to use it.

●In order to ensure vehicle safety, a
fire extinguisher should be equipped
in the vehicle, and be checked and
replaced regularly. Also, you should
familiarise yourself with use of the
fire extinguisher and be prepared for
any accidents.

●Disconnect the negative cable of the
low-voltage battery when the vehicle is
being serviced or repaired.

●In the event of a fire in the vehicle,
take effective measures in a timely and
calm manner to minimise any losses:

●Fires typically show initial warning
signs, such as abnormal noises and
odours in the vehicle body. When
abnormal conditions are found, turn
off and stop the vehicle immediately.
It is best to park the vehicle in a
windproof place, and then put out
the fire using the fire extinguisher in
the vehicle.

●Call the fire alarm in time, and
also dial the insurance company's
reporting number and ask the
company to come to the fire site for
handling.

●Look for the ignition point. If the
engine compartment smokes, do not
open the bonnet immediately. (This
will let a large amount of air in and
cause fire spreading. There is limited
comburent in the cabin. Keeping the
bonnet closed can control the fire so
that the fire can be easily put out).
Point the on-board fire extinguisher
at the ignition point from the bonnet
gap to put the fire out, or seek help
from the passing cars. If you can
borrow more fire extinguishers, open
the bonnet to put it out when you
cannot see any flame from outside.

●If the fire brigade is involved, ask for
a duty performance certificate and a
description of fire cause.

04

USING AND DRIVING

●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 (fire loss,
theft, etc.) is recommended.
