WARNING
•
The presence of water, mud, or silt
in the braking system may delay
brake response and extend braking
distance. Drive carefully and avoid
emergency braking after crossing
flooded areas.
•
The motor will be seriously damaged
if it is submerged when crossing a
flooded area. Such damaged is not
covered by the vehicle's warranty.
• Other systems like transmission,
driving and electrical may also be
seriously damaged upon submersion.
Such damage is not covered by the
vehicle's warranty either.
Influence of waterlogging on high-voltage Influence of waterlogging on high-voltage
parts: parts:
• If water enters high voltage systems, it
cannot fully dry out by any means.
• Vehicle safety and operating
performance will be seriously affected
if high voltage parts are waterlogged,
because insulation is seriously
compromised and the risk of short-
circuit is greatly increased.
• Waterlogged high voltage parts pose
a very high safety risk, due to reduced
protection and voltage withstanding
capacities.
• Be sure to find a sheltered place when
charging the vehicle in rainy weather.
After driving through flooded areas,
timely contact a BYD authorized dealer
or service provider for troubleshooting
and processing. Do not drive in flooded
areas where water is deeper than half
the tire height.
Fire Prevention
To timely and effectively prevent vehicle
fire, pay attention to the following:
• Do not leave flammable or explosive
items in the vehicle.
• Temperatures may reach 60 to 70 in
a vehicle exposed to direct sunlight
in summer. Flammable or explosive
items like lighters, cleaning products
or perfume are not to be left inside the
vehicle.
• Make sure cigarettes are thoroughly put
out.
• Go to a BYD authorized dealer or service
provider for regular vehicle checks.
• Vehicle wiring, connections, harnesses
and insulation must be checked
regularly. If any problem is found, it
must be dealt with promptly.
• Do not refit vehicle wiring or add any
unauthorized electrical appliance.
• The addition of extra electrical
appliances (such as power speakers,
lamps, fans, etc.) may overload and
overheat the wiring harness and
increase the risk of fire.
• Unqualified refitting of electrical
appliances or wiring may increase
the risk of fire due to contact
resistance and abnormal heating.
Do not use fuses which exceed the
rated specifications of the electrical
appliance, or any other fuse substitute.
• Avoid exposing the vehicle to direct
sunlight for longer periods when
parking.
• Learn how to handle the vehicle's fire
extinguisher if you have purchased one.
• Check the fire extinguisher regularly
and replace it upon its expiry date.
