4-1 Main Points of Application 95
Keeping vehicle in safe driving condition
Tyre burst or mechanical fault poses extreme danger. To reduce the possibility of such
faults, always check the vehicle condition and complete the specified inspection items
regularly.
Main Points for Preventing Vehicle Fire
To prevent vehicle fire timely and effectively, observe the following precautions:

Do not place any flammables and explosives in the vehicle.
In the hot summer, the inside temperature of a vehicle parked in the sunshine may be
as high as 60 ~ 70 °C or above. It is easily to cause fire or even explosion if any
flammables and explosives, such as lighter, detergent and perfume are placed in the
vehicle.

Make sure that the cigarette end is completely extinguished after smoking.
Smoking is harmful to health and may also cause fire. A cigarette end not completely
extinguished may cause fire.

Drive the vehicle to a BYD authorised service provider regularly for inspection.
Check at regular intervals whether there is oil leakage from the front compartment
and clear the oil dirt and oil stains on the motor, so as to prevent the occurrence of
fire due to volatilization of oil dirt and oil stains.
Check the vehicle lines at regular intervals to find out whether the connection,
insulation and fixing positions of electrical connectors and wiring harnesses are
normal. Solve identified problems in time.

Do not modify the vehicle's wirings or add electrical appliances.
Installation of other electric appliances (such as high-power audio equipment and
light fixtures) will cause overload of the line, which will result in heating of wiring
harness or even fire.
Improper refitting of electrical appliances or lines may cause contact resistance,
resulting in abnormal heating or even fire. Using any fuse beyond the rated
specifications of electric appliances or replacing the fuse with other metal wires is
strictly prohibited.

Correctly select parking positions.
When the vehicle is parked, especially in summer, do check whether there are any
flammables such as dry grasses, dead woods, leaves or wheat straws under the
vehicle. If any, a fire may be caused as the temperature of vehicle's three-way
catalytic converter will rise after a long period of travelling.
