Driving Tips In Winter - BYD L3 AUTO Owner's Manual

TIPS
● Before driving, make sure that
parking brake is released fully
and the parking brake indicator
goes out.
● Do not leave the car when the
engine is running.
● Do not rest your feet on brake
pedal in driving, which may
cause dangerous overheating,
wear and higher
consumption.
● When on long downhill slope,
slow down the speed and shift
to low gear. Please note that the
brake will overheat and function
abnormally if you steps on the
brake pedal too many times.
● Take special care when
speeding up, shift to
higher/lower gear, or braking on
slippery road. Hard acceleration
or engine braking may result in
skidding or spinning of the car.
● Do not continue driving when
the brake is wet. Wet brake
requires longer braking
distance and may cause
deviation of the direction of the

brake can not stop the car
firmly.
Do not stretch any part of your
body out of the window in
driving, which may cause
severe accidents and risk
severe personal injury. Take
special care when there are kids
on the car.
