WARNING!
Make sure that accessories such as
the trailer hitch and safety chain are
properly connected and securely
installed.
Make sure that all loaded cargos are
firmly secured and evenly distributed.
Failure to do so may lead to traffic
accidents, vehicle damage and
personal injury.
When towing a trailer or loading
cargo, please reduce speed and avoid
sharp turning or sudden braking, as
this may lead to traffic accidents,
vehicle damage and personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not tow a trailer with its cargo
combined weight above the trailer
hitch towing capacity.
Vehicle loading capacity should be
met when a trailer hitch is used to tow
a trailer or load cargo.
A trailer towed or cargo loaded may
obstruct your field of vision. Adjust
the rear view and side mirrors for an
improved view.
Maintain a longer distance from
vehicles ahead when towing a trailer
or loading cargo.
The vehicle becomes longer when
towing a trailer or loading cargo.
Therefore wider turns must be taken
to prevent the towed cargo from
hitting kerbs, road signs, trees or
other objects.
Do not park the vehicle on a slope
when towing a trailer or loading
cargo.

REMINDER
Whenever the installation of a
trailer hitch is necessary, visit a BYD
authorised dealer or service provider.
Follow local laws and regulations for
installation of the trailer hitch.
Park the vehicle in a flat and safe
place when engaging or disengaging
the towed trailer or loaded cargo.
Towing a trailer or loading cargo will
reduce the driving range.
