■
When following conditions are met, the emergency shutdown system will be activated
and the high voltage system will be turn off automatically:
●
When the airbag is not activated in case of a frontal collision.
●
Under some rear collisions.
●
When some systems are faulty.
■
In case of any of the above collisions and system faults, the ready-to-drive indicator
("OK" indicator) will be turned off.
■
Because the emergency shutdown system can be activated under the above several
collisions, the risk of injury or accidents can be minimized. Once the emergency OFF
system is activated, the vehicle system can't switch over to driving ready status. It's
recommended to contact a BYD Auto Authorized Service Station. Even if the power
switch is switched over to driving ready status, the system will turn off immediately.
Therefore, please contact a BYD Auto Authorized Service Station as soon as possible.
