Install Tire Chain
When possible, tire chain must be installed on
front wheels. Do not install tire chain on rear
wheels. Tighten tire chain again after driving
for 0.5 - 1.0 km.
Follow strictly the instruction from the
manufacturer when installing tire chain.
If wheel housing is installed on the car,
remove it before installing tire chain,
otherwise it may be damaged by tire chain.
Tips
●
When tire chain is installed, the driving
speed must not exceed 50km/h or the
speed limit specified by the
manufacturer, whichever is lower.
●
Drive carefully when tire chain is
installed and avoid protrusions, holes
and sharp turns in the road, which may
jolt the vehicle.
●
When tire chain is installed, avoid sharp
turn or braking with wheels locked,
which may pose adverse effect to car
operability.
●
When tire chain is installed, slow down
the car before turning to prevent losing
control of the car, which may cause
accident.
Replace Wheels
When to Replace Wheels
When the wheel has damage such as
buckling, cracking or severe corrosion, it must
be replaced.
If damaged wheel is not replaced timely, the
tire may detach from the wheel or the car may
lose control.
Choose Wheels
Only replace the wheel installed on the car
with a wheel with the same load capacity,
diameter, rim width and offset.
BYD authorized service station can replace
wheels correctly.
Wheels with different dimensions and
structure may have serious effect on
operability, service life of wheels and
bearings, cooling of brake, calibration of
speedometer and odometer, brake
performance, headlight alignment, bumper
height, ground clearance and clearance
between car body/chassis and tire /tire chain.
Do not replace the wheel with a used wheel,
which may have undergone treatment or long
mileage, getting the vehicle into trouble
without prior warning. Do not use a wheel
which is repaired after buckling, as it may
have structural damage.
Tips
Do not use a wheel with specifications other
than that recommended by the
manufacturer, or the car may lose control in
driving, which may result in severe injury or
death.
