paint and decorating components;
If there are chips and scratches in
the paint, please repair it immediately
in order to prevent corrosion from
staring at this location. If the chips and
scratches have gone though the bare
metal surface, please contact the BYD
authorized dealer for repair.
Check the interior of your F3DM; Water
and dirt will accumulate beneath the
floor mats and could cause corrosion.
Please check the underside of the
floor mats occasionally to make sure
the area is dry. Please pay particular
attention when transporting chemicals,
cleansers, fertilizer, salt and similar
materials which should be transported
in proper containers. In case of any
spillage or leakage, please clean and
dry the affected area immediately.
Use mudguard. When driving in salted
roads or roads with gravel, mudguard would protect your vehicle from mud.
The larger the size of mudguard and
lower clearance altitude are the better
protection your vehicle will get. Small
mudguard for wheel cover is optional
for BYD F3DM, installation of which is
available at BYD authorized dealer.
Park the vehicle in a well ventilated
garage or a roofed place rather than
in a damp or poorly ventilated place.
If you wash your car in the garage
or drive on a wet or snowy road, the
garage may get damp and it will cause
corrosion. Even though the garage
is dry, the car will also get damp and
suffer corrosion if the ventilation is
poor.

(2) Wash your F3DM timely after
rain. The rain stain on the car body
will shrink in size after rain, which
means acid materials in the rain will
concentrate. Clean the taint as soon
as possible to avoid harm to your
vehicle finish caused by the taint.
(3) Wash the car after the engine
cools down. Do not wash your car
in strong sunlight or under high
temperature, otherwise the detergent
will form taint on the paint surface
after quick drying. If washing the
car by yourself, please use special-
purpose detergent and neutral active
water. Do not use mild soap water and
detergent with high alkaline, which
