Vehicle Cannot Start

(a) Simple Inspection
Before the inspection, perform the
procedure in "Starting Vehicle" in
Chapter 4 and make sure you have
sufficient fuel. Check whether you can
start the engine with another key. If
that key works, the key you used
previously is faulty and you must
contact a BYD service station to
service it. If all keys aren't working,
the engine cut-off device may be at
fault. Contact a BYD service station to
service your vehicle. (See "Key" in
section 1.1)
If the engine can not rotate or rotates
so
too slowly
1. Check whether
terminals are tighten and clean.
2. If there is no problem with the
battery terminals, turn on the
interior lights.
3. If the exterior lights come on, you
can try emergency engine starting.
For details, please refer to "(b)
Emergency Engine Starting".
4. If the lights dim noticeably or go
out when the starter is working, the
battery is depleted. You can also
determine whether the battery is
running out through the brightness
of the combination instrument. In
this case, you can try jump starting.
For details, refer to "(d) Jump
Starting".
5. After recharging or replacing the
battery, if the engine still cannot be
started, follow the instructions in
"(e) Engine Starting after Battery
Discharge".
If the interior lights come on normally
but the engine cannot be started, your
the battery
vehicle needs to be serviced or
adjusted. Contact a BYD service
station for help.
