230 8-1 When Failure Occurs

If case of a collision, operate your vehicle as per the following methods and based on
actual conditions:

Set the vehicle power to the OFF mode and disconnect the 12V battery in the front
compartment if conditions are permitted.

Call a BYD authorised service provider for rescue.

If conditions are permitted, the user can carry out simple inspection; check
whether the edge of power battery tray is cracked and whether there is visible
liquid flowing out.

In case of a little leakage, keep the vehicle away from source of ignition. Adsorb the
leaking fluid with a fluid adsorption cushion and put the cushion into an enclosed
container or burn the cushion. Be sure to wear corrosion protection gloves before
operation. In case of plenty of leakage, collect the leaking fluid and treat it as
dangerous chemicals. The toxic gas can be treated by adding calcium gluconate
solution.

If any part of human body contacts with the leaking fluid, immediately wash the
contacted part with plenty of water for 10~15 min. If the sufferer feels pain, apply 2.5%
calcium gluconate ointment onto the contacted part, or dip the contacted part into
2~2.5% calcium gluconate solution to relieve pain. If these methods fail to relive pain
or any uncomfortable signs and symptoms appear, seek medical attention at once.
WARNING

Do not touch the fluid leaking out. Keep away from the leaking vehicle or power
battery.

Do not discard the leaking fluid collected into water, soil and other environments at
will.
Squeal or Friction Noise (Brake Pad Wear Indicator)

Contact a BYD authorised service provider to check and replace the brake pad.

If the brake pad is not replaced in time when necessary, the brake disc will be
damaged.

The brake pad is only suitable for front wheel brake. If the brake pad and brake disc
are worn moderately, the braking force for front wheels will be increased. At the same
time, the brake disc will wear out faster than conventional brake discs. Therefore, it is
recommended that the thickness of brake disc should be measured when the brake
pad is replaced.

If the brake pad and brake disc are worn beyond the limit, the driving will be very
dangerous.
