TIPS
● When the engine is running,
you must keep your hands,
clothes and tools away from
the running fans and drive belt
of engine.(It is best to take
down such things as finger
ring, watch and necktie.)
● After
you drive the car, the
temperature of such things as
its engine, radiator, exhaust
pipe, hold-up vessel of power
steering fluid and spark plug
cover must be very high in the
engine compartment.
Thus, you must be careful and
do
not touch them. The
temperature of engine oil, fluid
and spark plug must be very
high, too.
● If the engine is very hot, do not
take down the radiator cover or
screw off the drain plug to
avoid burning.
● Do not leave any flammable
material in the engine
compartment such as paper or
cloth.
● If you work near electric
cooling fan or radiator grill, you
must confirm that the ignition
switch has been turned off.
When turning on the ignition
switch, if the temperature of
engine coolant rises and/or
turning on the air conditioner,
the electric cooling fan of
engine
will start running
automatically.
● Nearby the fuel tank or battery,
do not smoke, to avoid
generating spark and naked
flame, as it may cause fire.
● Handle the storage battery
with special care, as it contains
poisonous gas and corrosive
sulfuric acid.
● The car shall only be lifted by a
jack. Do not crawl under the
car; lift it with car lifting jack or
other firm braces.
● Now matter operating on the
top or bottom of the car, you
must use eyes protector, to
avoid
dropping or falling
objects and splashing fluid.
● Used engine oil contains
potential pollutants, which may
cause skin diseases such as
skin inflammation and skin
cancer. Thus, you must pay
attention to avoiding long or
frequent touch of these engine
oils. You can wash the used
engine oil on your skin with
soap and fresh water.
● Do not put the used engine oil
in the place within the reach of
children.
● Dispose of the used engine oil
and filter by some safe and
satisfied means and do not
throw them together with the
household garbage, in the
sewer or on the ground. Refer
to BYD service station for
recycling
or disposing
methods.
● Since brake fluid may damage
the eyes as well as the paint
finish, you must be very careful
in filling brake fluid; if it
splashes into the eyes, wash
with fresh water immediately; if
your
eyes still feel
uncomfortable, you must go to
see a doctor.
