If the Car Cannot Start Up
(a) Simple Check
Before conducting this check, make
sure the starting procedure in “
How to
Start Engine
” in Chapter 3 is performed
properly and there is sufficient fuel.
If Engine Cannot Rotate or Rotate
Slowly
1. Check whether battery terminals are
tightened and cleaned properly.
2. If battery terminals have no problem,
turn on rear interior light. If the interior
light can not be turned on or is dim, or
when the battery is depleted in starting,
you can try jump starting. See
descriptions in “(c)
Jump Starting
”.
If the interior light is on but the engine
cannot start, it shall be repaired or
adjusted. Please contact BYD service
station for help.
Note
Do not push or pull the car for
starting. Otherwise when the
engine starts, there may be
damage to the car or collision. It
may also make three-way
catalytic converter overheated,
which may lead to fire.
If the starter of the engine runs at the
normal speed but can not start the
engine
1. Turn the ignition switch to "ACC" or
"OFF" and try again to start the
engine.
2. If the engine can not start up, maybe
there is fuel spill as a result of
repeated starting. Please see "(b)
Start Engine with Fuel Spill
" for more
details.
3. If the engine still can not be started,
please contact BYD service store for
adjustment or repair.
(b) Start Engine with Fuel Spill
If the engine can not start up, maybe
there is fuel spill as a result of
repeated starting.
In this case, please step on the
accelerator pedal in full force and
meanwhile rotate the ignition switch to
"START". Keep the ignition switch and
accelerator pedal in this status for 5
seconds, and then release them. Make
another attempt to start the engine with
your feet off the accelerator pedal.
If the engine still can not start up after 15
seconds, please release the ignition
switch, and try starting once again
several minutes later.
If the engine still can not be started,
please contact BYD service store for
adjustment or repair.
Note
Each starting attempt shall be no
more than 5 seconds, or it will
cause overheating of engine or
wires
