and similar materials, please pay
particular attention and use proper
containers. In case of any spillage or
leakage, please clean and dry the
affected part immediately.
Use mudguard.
When driving in
saline-alkali area or on the gravel
road, you can use mudguard to
protect the car. The mudguard with
bigger size and shorter clearance
from
the ground has better
protection effect. Small mudguard
for wheel cover is optional for BYD
L3, installation of which is available
at BYD service station.
Park the car in a well ventilated
garage rather than in damp or
unventilated place.
Washing your car in the garage or
parking after a drive on a wet or
snowy road will get the garage damp
and thus cause corrosion. Even
though the garage is dry, the car will
also get damp and suffer corrosion if it
is poorly ventilated.
Tips on Maintenance of Paint
Surface
Pay attention to the following points in
use and maintenance of the car:
(1) Clean the dust on the car before,
during and after using the car, which
can reduce dust absorption by static.
(2) Wash the car timely after rain. The
taint left by rain on the car body will
shrink in size after rain stops, which
means acid materials in the rain will
concentrate. Clean the taint as soon
as possible to avoid harm to the paint
surface caused by the taint.
(3) Wash the car after the engine
cools down. Do not wash the car in
strong sunlight or high temperature,
otherwise the detergent will form taint
on the paint surface after quick drying.
If you wash the car by yourself, only
use special-purpose detergent and
neutral running water. Do not use
strongly alkaline washing power, soap
water and detergent, which may wash
away grease in the paint and speed
up aging. When washing the car at a
carwash, prevent the staff from using
dewaxing detergent, or the paint may
be damaged. When the car is used
along seacoast or in a region with
heavy pollution, you shall wash the
car daily.
(4) Only use damp, clean and soft
sponge or finishing cloth to wipe the
car, and make sure metal and sand
particle does not exist in it. Do not
use dry cloth, sponge or towel to wipe
it to avoid scratching. When wiping,
move the cloth gently along the
running water, and do not move in
circle or perpendicular to the running
water.
(5) Taint of strongly corrosive stuff,
such as pitch, bird manure and insect
remains, shall be cleaned timely.
Please use special purpose detergent.
Do not use knife or gasoline to
remove the taint, otherwise the paint
surface may be damaged.
(6) Do not touch the paint with greasy
hands, wipe the paint with greasy
cloth, or put any tool with grease on it
or finishing cloth dipped in organic
solvent on the car body, otherwise
there may be harmful chemical
reaction.
(7) If there is no obvious scratch, do
not make repainting as the new paint
