Power Steering; Three-Way Catalytic Converter - BYD S6 Owner's Manual

Power steering fluid
Check the fluid level in the power
steering fluid reservoir monthly; this
task should be performed after the
engine has cooled down. Look over
the side of reservoir, the fluid level
should be between the upper level
and lower level. If it is below the lower
level, refill the power steering fluid so
the fluid level is up to the upper level.
Drop in power steering fluid level
means that the power steering system
may be leaking. Check the fluid level
frequently and check this system as
soon as possible.

Three-way catalytic
converter
The three-way catalytic converter
contains precious metals which are
catalysts and accelerate the chemical
reaction to purify exhaust gases,
however, the metal hasn't been
affected. Three-way catalytic
converter has a positive effect on the
HC, CO and NOx. To replace it, BYD
original parts must be used.
To cause the chemical reaction, the
three-way catalytic converter must
work at high temperatures, it may
combust surrounding inflammables.
Therefore, park your vehicle at a
location far away from combustible
objects such as dry grass and leaves.
In the event of failure, the three-way
catalytic converter will cause air
pollution, and engine efficiency will be
reduced. Please protect it according
to the following rules.
