Check Cooling Fluid Level in
Engine
Check the transparent overflow tank
of the cooling fluid when the engine
is cold. If the cooling fluid level is
located between “FULL” and “LOW”
line on the tank, it is in compliance
with the requirement. If the fluid level
is low, additional cooling fluid shall
be added. (Refer to section “
Choose
Cooling Fluid
” below for information
on usable type of cooling fluid.)
The cooling fluid level in the overflow
tank varies with the temperature of the
engine. But if the fluid level is under
“LOW” line, more fluid shall be added
until fluid level reaches “FULL” line.
After adding cooling fluid, if the fluid
level drops in short period, there may be
leakage in the system. You shall
conduct visual check to radiator, hose,
radiator cap, drain cock and pump.
If visual check can not find out leakage,
please contact BYD service station to
check cap pressure and whether there is
leakage in cooling system.
Tips
To avoid scorching, do not
remove radiator cap when engine
is hot.
Choose Cooling Fluid
Only use cooling fluid authorized by
BYD service station. Choose and add
suitable type of cooling fluid into cooling
system according to environment
temperature.
Improper cooling fluid may damage
engine cooling system.
Note
Do not over use water, which may
damage engine cooling system in
winter.
For more detailed information, please
contact BYD service station.
Check Radiator and Condenser
If radiator or condenser becomes very
dirty or you can not determine their
status, please send the car to BYD
service station.
Tips
To avoid scorching, do not touch
radiator or condenser when
engine is hot.
Note
Do not service radiator or
condenser by yourself to avoid
damage.
Check Tire Pressure
Maintain proper pressure in tires.
For information on recommended cold
tire pressure and tire dimension, please
refer to Chapter 8.
You shall check the tire pressure every
two weeks, or, at least, every month.
Spare tire pressure shall also be
checked.
Improper tire pressure may increase gas
consumption, reduce driving comfort,
tire service life, and pose danger to road
safety.
If the tire need air filling frequently,
please contact BYD service station for a
check.
