How To Save Fuel And Prolong The Vehicle Service Life - BYD F0 Owner's Manual

BYD AUTO
Weight limit
Before towing a trailer, the towing capacity
of the trailer should be confirmed. You can
contact a local BYD authorized service
center and make sure that the towing
capacity of the trailer is within the regulated
range.
The towing capacity is determined on a flat
road surface. It should be remembered that
in mountainous regions, the engine power
and its towing capacity will be reduced.
Friendly Tips
The hauled trailer
should not exceed the maximum
rated weight of the towing hook;
otherwise, accidents and
human damage may be caused.
Towing may increase the brake
distance, so in trailer towing, the
safety distance should be lengthened.
At a speed of
(kilometer/hour), the
between your vehicle
preceding vehicle should be at least
the sum of the lengths of your vehicle
and the trailer. Avoid emergency
braking; otherwise slipping may
cause vehicle folding and make the
vehicle out of control.
Tires
Make sure the tires have proper
pressure. Refer to instructions in Section
7-2.
Keep the trailer tire pressure at the
pressure strength defined by the trailer
manufacturer according to the total weight
of the trailer.

Trailer towing will increase the load
and the

more frequently.

How to save fuel and prolong the
vehicle service life
Fuel consumption can be reduced easily and
conveniently. It can also lengthen the
service life of the vehicle. Following is
some knowledge on reducing the fuel and
repair expenditure:
Keep proper tire pressure
pressure insufficiency will lead to tire wear
and increase the fuel consumption. Refer to
instruction in Section 7-2.
Do not place unnecessary things on
the vehicle. Too heavy weight will increase
the engine load and lead
consumption increase.
Avoid long-time pre-heating idling.
Once the engine has entered steady state,
you can start driving, but the operation
should be steady. It should be noted that in
cold weather, the longer time is needed to
preheat the engine.
Accelerate slowly and
Avoid sudden start. Drive with high-speed
gear shifts soon.
Avoid long-time engine idling. To
wait for others when the traffic is not busy,
you'd better stop the engine and, after the
people have come, start it again.
