4-2 Emergency Treatment
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 30 seconds, or it will
cause overheating of engine or
wires
