4-2 Vehicle Service & Maintenance 

Prevent BYD e6A from corrosion 

Proper maintenance can protect the car 

against corrosion for a long time. 

The common causes for car corrosion are: 

  Saline-alkali, dust, and moisture 

concentrates at unaccessible part under 

the bottom of the car. 

  The paint film or base coating is scratched 

by slight crash or foreign bodies such as 

sand. 

If operating the car under special 

circumstance or environment, please take 

special care: 

  Dust on roads that contains with 

saline-alkali or chemical substances will 

speed up corrosion; the air along a 

seacoast or in regions polluted by 

industries is also saline. 

  High moisture will speed up corrosion, 

especially at a site with a temperature just 

over 0 °C. 

  When certain parts of the vehicle are 

always exposed to moisture or humidity, 

even if the rest parts are kept dry, 

corrosion will occur. 

  High compartment temperature may 

cause corrosion to the parts which can not 

get dry quickly due to lack of proper 

ventilation. 

The above items show that it is very important 

to keep the vehicle, especially its bottom, 

clean and repair the damaged paint and 

protective coating as soon as possible. 

To prevent corrosion of BYD e6A, please 

follow the instructions below: 

Wash the vehicle regularly. Washing your 

vehicle regularly can keep it clean. But for 

anti-corrosion purposes, please abide by the 

following points: 

  In winter if you drive the vehicle on the 

road with saline-alkali or live by the sea, 

please wash the running parts of the 

vehicle at least once per month to reduce 

corrosion. 

  High pressure water or steam is effective 

for cleaning chassis and wheel covers. 

But pay attention to the battery pack 

under the chassis when washing, and do 

not flush it directly. Slush and dirt in these 

positions are difficult to remove; you need 

to pay extra attention as getting the slush 

and debris wet without removing them 

may cause severe damage. Please avoid 

the dust blocking the drain holes on the 

lower edges of the doors, sill plates and 

frame, otherwise accumulated water will 

lead to corrosion. 

  Arrange a thorough cleaning for the 

chassis when winter is over. 

For more hints, refer to "Washing and 

Waxing". 

NOTICE 

Prevent the electrical elements, such as 

motor controller and battery, from water 

spilling when washing the vehicle in order 

not to damage these electrical elements.
