Tips
To avoid being stranded due to insufficient
power and also for the sake of battery
service life, it is recommended that the
vehicle is charged when the handle is
pointed to the red warning area. Do not
charge when the battery is depleted.
Please leave the charging vehicle and
observe the guidelines specified by the
charging station during charging. Stand
away from the safety line due to the risk of
high voltage.

helpful for operating of the car.

2-14 Starting and Driving
BYD e6A AUTO Owner's Manual
● Slow down vehicle speed on rugged roads.
Otherwise tires and/or wheels will suffer
severe damage.
● The brakes may be wet when cleaning the
vehicle or driving through deep water. To
check if they are wet, make sure it is safe
around the vehicle at first, then depress
the brake pedal slowly. If there is no proper
braking force, the brakes may be wet. In
this case, it is recommended that you not
proceed to driving until they have dried.
Tips
● Before driving, make sure that parking
brake is released fully and the parking
brake indicator goes out.
● Do not rest your feet on brake pedal
while driving, which may cause
dangerous overheating, wear and
power energy consumption.
● Take special care when speeding up,
shifting to higher/lower gear, or braking
on slippery road. Hard acceleration may
result in skidding or spinning of the
vehicle.
● Do not continue driving when the brake
is wet. Wet brake requires longer
braking distance and may cause
deviation of the direction of the car.
Also, in this case parking brake can not
stop the car firmly.
NOTICE
When driving on a wet road, keep away
from the deep water if possible. Wading
depth should not be over the height of
battery tray. The minimum ground
clearance of battery tray with capacity load
is 138 mm. Hence, the wading depth should
be lower than this value. When the battery
pack is soaked by water, the electrical
components, such as the battery pack, will
be damaged.
Do not climb when the battery power is low
(soc is below 20%).
