Safety Inspections before Driving
Before driving the vehicle, it is preferred that safety inspection of the vehicle be carried out
or have it checked by a BYD authorised service provider.
General exterior inspections of vehicle

Tyres: check the tyre pressure using a calibrated tyre pressure gauge, and carefully
check the tyre surface for notches, damage and foreign particles. Check the tyres for
abnormality and excessive wear. In case of excessive or eccentric wear, send the
vehicle to a BYD authorised service provider for four-wheel alignment and relevant
inspections.

Wheel nuts: make sure all nuts are present and tightly fitted.

Leaks: after the vehicle stops, check if there are any fluid deposits underneath the
vehicle, which may indicate a leak of motor oil, coolant or other liquids (It is normal for
a small pool of water to form caused by the air conditioning system).

Lighting: confirm that all headlights, brake lights, position lights, turn signals and other
lights work normally. Check the light density of headlights.
General interior inspections of the vehicle

Seat belts: check whether all seat belts can be fastened firmly and confirm that no
seat belt is worn or scratched.

Instrument and controller: confirm that all indicators and lighting of the instrument as
well as the defrosting system work properly.

Brake: confirm the pedal has enough free travel.
General interior inspections of front compartment

Coolant level: confirm that the coolant level is normal.

Battery and cables: check whether the connectors are corroded or loose and whether
the battery shell has any cracks.
