If the battery is loose or depleted,
the current clock time and preset

be cancelled. You need to reset
them.

7-10 Self-maintenance
BYD AUTO S6 Owner's Manual

Air conditioning system

The air conditioning system is a closed
system, and any maintenance must be
performed by a BYD service station. To
keep it working effectively, you can
perform the following operations.
Regularly check the engine radiator
and A/C condenser. Remove leaves,
insects and dust attached to their
surfaces. These foreign substances
will block the airflow and reduce the
cooling effect. Clean them with a low
pressure spray gun or soft brush.
Tips
The condenser plates and radiator
fins can bend easily. Only use a low
pressure spray gun or soft brush to
wash.
Please run the air conditioner at
least once a week and ten minutes
each time during cold seasons,
when driving the vehicle at a
constant speed and normal engine
temperature, to circulate the
lubricant in the coolant.
If the cooling effect is not as good
as before, please contact a BYD
service station to maintain it.
Driving belt
Check the driving belt status, and
check every belt's edge for cracking or
abrasion.
Mitsubishi 4G69 engine's automatic
tension regulator can adjust the
tension of the driving belt. The needle
on the regulator should be in
appropriate range. Examine it
according to recommended driving
time and mileage in the periodical
maintenance schedule.
