Precautions for DIY maintenance
If you want to conduct maintenance of the vehicle by yourself, be sure to properly observe
the procedure provided in this section. This section only provides information on simple
maintenance. It is recommended that you have some maintenance items conducted by a
BYD authorised service provider.
When the motor is running, keep body, clothes and tools away from rotating fans and
drive belt. Take off articles such as ring, watch and necktie.
Take care and do not touch components in the front compartment of vehicle that just
stalls because some are very hot.
If the motor is very hot, do not remove or loosen the expansion tank cover, so as to
prevent burn.
Do not leaving inflammables such as paper or cloth in the front compartment.
Otherwise, a fire may be caused easily.
Make sure that the power is turned off if you have to work near the radiator fan or the
radiator cap. If the temperature of motor coolant rises and/or the air conditioner is
turned on when the power is on, the radiator fan will start working.
To avoid causing a fire, never smoke near the motor, alternator and battery.
When handling the battery, be sure to take special care; do not connect the anode and
cathode.
Nobody is allowed to get to the place beneath the vehicle when it is only supported by
a jack delivered with the vehicle. If it is necessary to work beneath the vehicle, be sure
to support the vehicle with a secure strut or device.
Make sure that the ignition switch is turned off if you have to work near the electric
cooling fan or the radiator. If the temperature of motor antifreeze is very high or the air
conditioner is on when the ignition switch is turned on, the motor cooling fan may start
working automatically.
Working on or beneath the vehicle requires use of goggles to avoid damages.
Take care when refilling brake fluid because it will damage eyes and painted surfaces.
If any brake fluid comes into contact with the skin, wash the skin with soapy water
immediately; if it splashes into your eyes, immediately wash the eyes with clean water
and then go to the hospital at once.
Glass washing fluid, steering fluid and brake fluid are inflammable and should be kept
away from fire source.
Any overflowing coolant or brake fluid should be washed off with water to prevent
causing damage to any component or painted surface.
