F3DM Owner’s Manual
The following instructions for checking
tire inflation pressure should be
observed:
●Check tire pressure only when the tire
is cold. If the vehicle has been parked
for at least 3 hours and has not been
driven for more than 1.5km or 1 mile
since, you will get an accurate cold tire
inflation pressure reading.
●Tire inflation pressure gauge must be
used. The appearance of a tire can be
misleading. In addition, a few pounds’
difference may degrade ride and
handling.
●Do not bleed or reduce tire inflation
pressure after driving. It is normal for
the tire inflation pressure to be higher
after driving.
●Make sure valve cock is installed on
tire. It blocks dust, damp from entering
tire and prevent air leakage. Install a
new one if it lost.
Check and Replace Tire
Tire Tread wear indicator
Check Tire
Check the tire tread for tire wear
indicator. If the wear indicator is visible,
the tire shall be replaced.
The tire on your BYD F3DM has built-
in tread wear indicators to help you
know when the tires need replacement.
When the tread depth wears to 1.6mm
(0.06in.) or less, the indicators will
appear. If you can see the indicators in
two or more adjacent grooves, the tire
shall be replaced. The lower the tread,
the higher the risk of skidding.
The snow tires will be useless if the
tread wears down below 4mm (0.16
in.).
If there were tire damage such as cuts,
splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, or bulges indicating internal
damage, the tire should be replaced.
If a tire often goes flat or cannot be
properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage, it
should be replaced. If you are not sure,
consult with BYD authorized dealer.
If an air loss occurs while driving, do
not continue driving with a deflated
tire. Driving even a short distance can
damage a tire beyond repair.
Any tires which are over 6 years
old must be checked by a qualified
technician even if damage is not
obvious.
Tires deteriorate with age even if they
have never or seldom been used.
This rule also applies to spare tires and
