USING AND DRIVING
05
• When the vehicle is used for the first
time or after a long idle period, the
SOC displayed on the cluster may not
be correct. Fully charging the vehicle is
recommended.
• Fully charging the vehicle is
recommended at a regular basis (at least
once a week), and fully charge it from a
low battery (<10% SOC) once every three
to six months.
• Under extreme working conditions
(such as frequent sudden acceleration/
deceleration) that cause battery
overheating, if the power battery has an
over high temperature, it's normal that
its discharging capability will gradually
decrease. If the battery temperature
keeps rising, the fault light on the
dashboard will light up. At this time,
it is recommended to contact a BYD
authorized dealer or service provider.
• When battery SOC increases or
decreases abnormally, contact a BYD
authorized dealer or service provider.
WARNING
In the event of an emergency or
dangerous accident, pay attention to
the following:
•
Do not touch the power battery under
any circumstance.
•
Contact a BYD authorized dealer or
service provider as soon as possible.
• If the power battery is damaged and
leaking fluid, avoid any contact with
the fluid. If it comes into contact with
skin or eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water, and seek immediate
medical attention.
• If the vehicle catches fire, use the
dedicated fire extinguisher to
extinguish it. Do not use a water-
based fire extinguisher.
CAUTION
•To ensure the safety of the power
battery, the vehicle should be parked
away from flammable and explosive
items, and away from fire sources and
all kinds of dangerous chemicals.
•Battery capacity will gradually
decrease with time and usage.
•Prolonged exposure to heat sources
and direct sunlight will reduce power
battery service life.
•If the vehicle is not expected to
be driven for over 7 days, it is
recommended to keep the SOC at
40 - 60%, as this will prolong battery
service life. If the battery is not used
for over 3 months, it must be fully
charged every 3 months and then
discharged to 40 - 60%. Failure to
do so may cause the power battery
to over-discharge, reducing its
performance or even damaging it.
Damage resulting from this will not be
warranted.
•The power battery is located at the
bottom of the car. Drive carefully in
rough terrains.
•If the battery suffers an impact, it is
recommended to promptly contact
a BYD authorized dealer or service
provider for inspection and repair.
