easy to start it again. If possible, park
it indoors.

thoroughly.

that the carpet and floor mat is
completely dry.

e. Release the parking handle. Apply
reverse gear (manual transmission)
or parking gear (automatic
transmission).
f. To park your vehicle for a long time,
support it with jack stands to clear it
from the ground.
g. Open a window (if it is parked
indoors).
h. Disconnect the battery cathode
cable.
i. Raise the front wiper arm with a
towel or cloth to prevent it touching
the windscreen.
j. To prevent sticking, spray silicone
ketene lubricant on the weather
sealing positions of all doors, and
apply wax to the connecting
positions of door sealing strips.
k. Cover the body with a ventilated
cotton cover, as a plastic cloth will
damage the body paint because it
may accumulate moisture.
l. If possible, start and run the engine
for a moment once per month.
If your vehicle is parked for more than
a year, please go to a BYD service
station to perform overall
maintenance.
