convection process, the moisture in
the air will inevitably be brought inside
the lamp. Due to the solar radiation,
convection, and bulb heating, the
lamp is not a space of constant
temperature, so that moisture in the
air condenses into mist or water
droplets easily on the lamp surface
with low temperature. This heat
convection is a natural phenomenon.
Tips
 If the inside of the headlamps
and the inside of turn signals in
the exterior rear-view mirrors
have mist, the air humidity may
be high or the temperature
difference between the car and
its surroundings is great. In this
case, please turn on the
headlights or turn signals when
driving, and the mist will
disappear after a short period of
BYD AUTO S6, S6A, S6K Owner's Manual
time.
 If water accumulates in the
lamps, please drive the car to a
BYD service station for repairs.
WARNING
When the headlight halogen bulbs
are on, they become very hot.
Grease, sweat or scratches on the
glass will result in bulb breakage
due to overheating.
