WARNING
Drive carefully to avoid accident
●
when there is any water or slurry
on the brake disc surface, as this
may increase the brake response
time thus extending the braking
distance.
Carefully apply any wet brake, and
●
remove ice or water on it.
Avoid emergency braking after
●
driving through any waterlogged
road section.
If the vehicle drives on the
●
waterlogged road, prevent water
from entering the motor, or the
motor will be damaged seriously.
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.
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
door sill, 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.
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. In this case, the safety and
service performance of the vehicle will
be severely affected.
The reduced ingress protection
●
rating and voltage withstanding
performance due to water in high-
voltage components pose a high safety
risk.
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℉
●
(60-70°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.
