BYD e6A AUTO Owner's Manual
2-16 Starting and Driving
Weight Limit
Before towing a trailer, make sure it is within
the vehicle's capacity. You can contact the
local BYD authorized service station to check
the trailer's capacity.
Towing capacity is measured on a level road.
In regions with high altitudes, please take
note that the motor power and its towing
capacity will reduce.
Tips
Towing trailer shall not exceed the
maximum rated load of the two-hook, or it
may cause an accident and severe
personal injury.
As towing a trailer may require longer
braking distance, you must maintain a
larger distance to other vehicles. For every
10km/h, the distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you must be no
less than the total length of your vehicle and
the trailer. Avoid hard braking to prevent the
vehicle from skidding, which may cause the
vehicle to get out of control.
Tire
●
Make sure the tire air pressures are
appropriate in each tire.
●
Taking the total weight of a trailer into
consideration, keep its tires with proper
pressure as specified by its manufacturer.
Running-in Procedure
●
For a new auto or after undergoing
replacement of driving system parts
(motor, transmission, differential
mechanism, wheel bearing, driving shaft,
etc.), do not tow any trailer in the first
2000 km travel.
Maintenance
●
When towing a trailer, the increased load
requires more frequent maintenance of
the car.
How to Save Power and Extend
Auto Service Life
In simple and easy way you can save power.
Fuel-saving is also helpful to extend service
life of the vehicle. Here are some tips on
saving power and maintenance expense:
●
Maintain proper pressure in tires.
Insufficient tire pressure may cause
excessive tire wear and waste power.
Refer to description in section 5-4.
●
Do not leave unnecessary articles in the
vehicle. Weight of unwanted articles will
increase power assembly load and
consume more energy.
●
Accelerate slowly in a stable manner. It is
recommended to avoid starting,
accelerating and decelerating suddenly.
●
Avoid unnecessary stopping or braking.
During driving, keep a steady vehicle
speed while taking traffic signals into
consideration; and if possible, take a road
without traffic lights. Keep a proper
distance from the vehicle in front of you to
avoid hard braking, which is also helpful to
reduce brake wear.
●
Avoid driving in traffic peak hours or traffic
jam areas.
●
Maintain an appropriate speed on a
freeway. The higher the vehicle speed is,
the greater the energy consumption.
Keeping an appropriate speed can reduce
energy consumption.
