Emergency Treatment 3-3
If the Car Is Overheated
If the coolant thermometer indicates
overheating, or the motor, controller or the
battery are overheated, the power assembly
or controller maybe overheated. Take
measurements according to the following
procedures:
a. Drive the vehicle off the road, stop it and
turn on the emergency hazard warning
lights. Set the transmission to N, and apply
the parking brake. Shut down air
conditioning if it is running.
b. If coolant or steam spilled out of the
radiator or expansion tank, shut down the
power assembly, then open the motor
compartment until there is no steam
coming out; If there is no spilled coolant or
steam, keep the power assembly running
and confirm the cooling fan is operating. If
not, there may be something wrong with
the fan. Turn off the power switch and
have the fan repaired.
Tips
To avoid personal injury, please keep the
motor compartment closed until there is no
steam coming out. Spouting of steam or
coolant means high pressure.
c. Check whether there is obvious coolant
leakage under the radiator, hose and the
vehicle. Water drops produced by AC
system in use are normal.
Tips
Keep hands and clothes away from the fan
to avoid danger in case of sudden starting
of the cooling fan.
d. If there is coolant leakage, please shut
down the power assembly at once and
contact BYD authorized service station for
help.
e. If there is no obvious leakage, check the
coolant level in the expansion tank. If there
is no coolant in the expansion tank, refill it
to the MAX scale line with the power
assembly running.
Tips
High temperature steam and fluid may spill
out due to high pressure in system and
result in serious burning injury. Therefore,
do not take off the radiator cap when the
power assembly and radiator are still hot.
f. After the coolant temperature has dropped
to the normal level, recheck the coolant
level in the expansion tank. If it is lower
than the MIN scale line, refill to the MAX
scale line. A considerable decrease means
that the system has leaked. Contact a BYD
authorized service station and have it
checked immediately.
