8-1 When Failure Occurs 229

If above-mentioned collisions and some EV system faults occur, the driving ready
indicator will turn off.

The risk of leading to injury or unexpected event can be minimized as the emergency
shutdown system can be activated after the occurrence of above-mentioned collisions.
Once the emergency shutdown system is activated, the EV system could not be
switched to the ready state. In this case, contact a BYD authorised service provider.
The system will shut down immediately even if the power switch is shifted to the ready
state. Therefore, prudently drive your vehicle to the nearest BYD authorised service
provider, or contact a BYD authorised service provider as soon as possible.
